PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CONTEGA® IQ is a durable vapour-permeable adhesive strip to make effective connections of an interior air barrier assembly
to penetrations such as windows and doors. It forms an essential part of a robust interior air barrier system. Made from
polypropylene with acrylate adhesive.
WEATHER EXPOSURE
This product is designed to be installed on building interiors, not in direct sunlight. CONTEGA® IQ 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.
Note
Expansion slack for increased reliability
The slack included for expansion automatically becomes active if there is relative motion between building structures and provides increased protection against tearing. In this way, CONTEGA IQ provides optimal protection against leaks that could lead to mould and moisture damage to structures.
