PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CONTEGA® EXO is a UV-stabilised, vapour-permeable, external connection adhesive strip which makes effective connections to penetrations through wall assemblies such as windows and doors. It forms an essential part of your weather resistive barrier (WRB) system. Made from polypropylene with acrylate adhesive, it has excellent workability and adhesion for effective and durable air seals.
WEATHER EXPOSURE
This product is designed to withstand up to 90 days of UV exposure during installation. Construction should be detailed to prevent direct continued sunlight onto the product in service.
APPLICATION NOTES
Before application, substrate should be brushed or wiped clean to provide effective adhesion. Surfaces should be even and smooth enough to provide a clean connection. Surfaces must be free of grease, silicone and other water repellent substances. The product should be applied using the pro clima PRESSFIX tool to activate the pressure sensitive adhesive and ensure a long-term durable seal. The bond must not be subjected to tensile strain over time. Any load borne by the product must be transferred to the substrate or other supporting materials as necessary.
