Helix Max Low-Rise Adhesive Dual Tank

Product catalog summary
Description: Helix® Max Low-Rise Adhesive-Dual Tank is a two-component polyurethane adhesive designed for bonding Mule-Hide’s insulations and Fleece Back membranes to various substrates. It is FM approved and suitable for a range of deck types.
Packaging: The product comes in a self-contained tank set with guns, spray nozzles, and hoses.
Benefits: The adhesive features a green HFO blowing agent, superior wind uplift resistance, quick and low-odor application, and is VOC-free. It eliminates the need for pre-drilling and reduces labor costs.
Application: Surfaces must be clean and dry. The adhesive should be applied at temperatures above 25°F. Specific substrate compatibility and preparation instructions are provided, including the use of AeroWeb primer for certain surfaces.
Dual Tank Use Instructions: Proper protective gear is required. The adhesive should be used at material temperatures between 70°F and 90°F. Detailed instructions for nozzle attachment and application techniques are provided.
Storage and Re-use: Tanks should be stored between 40°F and 100°F. The dispensing unit must be cleaned and maintained properly to ensure functionality.
Disposal Procedures: Safety precautions must be followed during disposal. Tanks must be depressurized and vented before disposal according to regulations.
Insulation Attachment: Adhesive is dispensed in beads, and insulation boards are placed after the adhesive develops "string/body." Bead spacing requirements vary based on building height and warranty specifications.
Fleece Back Installation: Two methods are described: Slide-in and Roll-in. Both require careful application of adhesive and rolling of the membrane to ensure proper adhesion.
Installation Procedure: The document outlines the installation process for the Fleece Back sheet using a 150-lb segmented weighted roller. The process should be repeated until the sheet is fully installed.
Precautions: Several precautions are highlighted for the use of Helix Max Adhesive. It is not approved for adhering membranes to walls or insulation attachment. Safety Data Sheets should be reviewed for complete safety information. High-slope applications may require adhesive application to the bottom of the insulation board. The foam produced is combustible and should not be left exposed. Smoking is prohibited during application, and adequate ventilation is necessary. Protective gear such as respirators, safety glasses, and permeation-resistant gloves are required. Storage temperatures should not exceed 90°F or fall below 40°F, and the adhesive should not freeze.
Protection & Safety: Mule-Hide provides Safety Data Sheets for all non-exempt products, which should be understood by supervisory personnel and employees before use.
Additional Information: The document advises checking the Mule-Hide website for the latest updates and changes. It includes a disclaimer about the accuracy of the information and the conditions under which the product is accepted by the buyer and user.
LEED Information: The document provides details on the recycled content and manufacturing location of the dual tanks. It specifies the base components, average net weight, mixing ratio, packaging, and shelf life of the product.

Helix Max Low-Rise Adhesive Dual Tank-1

Product Data Sheet HELIX® MAX LOW-RISE ADHESIVE-DUAL TANK Rev. 3-2021 Helix® Max Low-Rise Adhesive-Dual Tank (“Helix Max Adhesive”) is a low-rise, construction-grade, two-component polyurethane adhesive that is designed to bond Mule-Hide's insulations and Fleece Back (TPO, PVC or PVC KEE) membranes to a variety of substrates. FM and other agency approvals have been achieved over a variety of deck types and substrates. Self-contained tank set (A & B Components) includes guns, spray nozzles, 14” extension nozzle, and hoses in the A-side box. • HFO Blowing agent - Green alternative offering low GWP's and Zero ODP's - New tips provide improved splatter pattern with more uniform application - Improved coverage rates - Improved cell structure and product rise - Improved string time • Superior wind uplift resistance / FM approved • Can be used for most re-roofing projects • Quick, quiet, low-odor application • Elongation of up to 150% • Eliminates the need to pre-drill into concrete and gypsum decks • Reduces labor by eliminating equipment maintenance and breakdowns • VOC-free, self-contained system General Preparation 1. The surface to which adhesive is applied shall be dry, clean, free of fins, protrusions, sharp edges, loose and foreign materials, oil, and grease. Depressions greater than 1/4" shall be filled with Helix Max Adhesive or other approved patching material. All sharp projections shall be removed. Previously unexposed (shiny) asphalt must be primed with AeroWeb. 2. Seal gaps between the wall/penetration and concrete deck with Mule-Hide F5 Air & Vapor Barrier or other suitable material to avoid condensation issues and positive pressure from air infiltration. 3. Apply Helix Max Adhesive when the substrate and ambient temperatures are 25°F (-4°C) or above. Consult Mule-Hide Technical Department for more details. 4. Fibrous cement decks must be investigated for their ability to retain liquid adhesive, as some types of fibrous cement may allow liquid adhesive to flow through the deck. 5. Static mixing tips for Helix Adhesive (or other manufacturers) and Helix Max Adhesive are not interchangeable, only use the nozzles provided in the packaging for application.

Helix Max Low-Rise Adhesive Dual Tank-2

Product Data Sheet Dual Tank Use Instructions Note: When spraying the dispensing unit for the first time, or when starting a new kit, Mule-Hide recommends that users trigger the gun only a quarter to halfway open until the desired output and spray pattern is achieved. This allows complete control of the flow rate and spray pattern that best fits the application. 1. Spray gloves, long sleeves, and protective glasses should be worn during setup and dispensing. 2. For best results, use when material is between 70°F and 90°F. 3. When applying Helix Max in colder temperatures the use of heating blankets...

Product Data Sheet Helix Max Low-Rise Adhesive-Dual Tank attach the 14" extension nozzle to the gun nozzle tip. Splatter application can be achieved by triggering the gun from a distance of 2'-3' off the deck. Adhesive should be dispersed using a horizontal back and forth motion, achieving 50% coverage of the substrate at 3.75 lbs/sq. 11. Once the trigger is released, it MUST BE REACTIVATED WITHIN 15 SECONDS or a new nozzle must be installed. Failure to do this could result in chemical leakage, spills, or splashes which can ruin the dispensing unit and/or hoses. 12. After releasing the trigger,...

Product Data Sheet 1. Dispense Helix Max Adhesive in beads at the appropriate coverage rate. For steel decks, beads of adhesive must run parallel with, and be on top of, all of the flutes. 2. Place insulation boards (maximum 4' x 4'), or cover boards (DensDeck Prime or Securock may be 4' x 8') into adhesive after allowing it to rise and develop “string/body”. 3. String time will vary based on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. Do not allow the adhesive to over-cure (lose tack) prior to setting insulation boards. 4. Designate one person to walk boards into place and then roll...
