Installation Manual Effisus ProFlex FR-1

Effisus ProFlex FR 1. Summary Effisus ProFlex FR is a multi-layered weatherproofing membrane composed by a robust double side fire retardant polymer and fire-retardant ultra-elastic reinforced core. This high-tech composite membrane was developed by an innovative bulk-forming process to efficiently control water, air, water vapour and moisture while accommodating differential movements along with fire performance. Effisus ProFlex FR is watertight and airtight membrane that combines an exceptional 200% elongation capacity with a fire performance of Class B-s3,d0 according to BS EN 13501-1. It was developed for sealing fagade interfaces and construction joints on typical curtain walls, on rainscreen/brick ventilated facades, precast, masonry and many other applications.

* Beads with 8 mm diameter to provide a bonding surface, after crushing, of ± 40 mm After applying Effisus Bonding KF or KFP adhesive to the support, directly apply Effisus ProFlex FR membrane to the surface and apply pressure over the whole bonding area with a steel roll. It is perfectly feasible to adjust the membrane's position. Bonding strength will progressively increase during the following up to 15 days depending on temperature and humidity levels. For more information about this accessory and its compatibility with other materials see 4.1. Check 6.2.3 for perimeter sealing of the membrane....

6.2.2 Overlapping Joints Upper layers should always overlap lower layers to facilitate the runoff of rainwater and to avoid water accumulation at the overlap joints. - Horizontal joints should overlap by 100mm minimum. - Vertical joints should overlap by 150mm minimum and be staggered or offset wherever possible (see Figure 2). Effisus Bonding Adhesive Figure 2 - Effisus ProFlex FR Membrane – Overlapping Joints. Check 6.2.3 for perimeter sealing of the membrane. 6.2.3 Perimeter sealing 6.2.3.1 Effisus 2Bond DS Tape Finish the application of the membrane system by applying an 8mm-diameter bead...

7. Repairs In case of puncture to the membrane, sealing of the damaged area is essential, using a patch of Effisus ProFlex FR membrane with a compatible sealant accessory. This patch should be at least a distance of 100mm in every direction from the location of the damaged Effisus ProFlex FR membrane. Effisus Bonding KF or KFP adhesive should be applied at a distance of ≈ 50mm to 20mm from the patch edges. The repairing patch of Effisus ProFlex FR should be adhered/sealed to the membrane using 2 beads 8mm- diameter with Effisus Bonding KF or KFP adhesive, see Figure 4. 1 – Cut a Patch of Effisus...
