Product catalog summary
Product Overview: VANDEX FLEXTAPE E is a high-performance sealing tape made from flexible polyolefine (FPO), designed for sealing cracks, expansion, and construction joints. It is weather-resistant, UV stable, and offers high movement capacity with excellent adhesion to substrates.
Packaging: Available in rolls of 20 meters.
Areas of Application: Suitable for bridging and sealing expansion and construction joints, as well as cracks in concrete structures. It can withstand hydrostatic pressure on the active side and negative water pressure up to 0.3 bar without a counterpressure structure.
Installation Procedure:
  • Prepare the concrete surface by cleaning and removing laitance.
  • Apply adhesive on both sides of the joint or crack, leaving an expansion zone free of adhesive for expansion joints.
  • Firmly press the tape into the adhesive, ensuring no trapped air.
  • Apply a second coat of adhesive and protect the tape from mechanical damage during application.
Technical Specifications:
  • Thickness options: 1.0 mm and 2.0 mm.
  • Width options: 100 mm to 300 mm.
  • Resistance to water pressure: > 4.0 bar.
  • Tear resistance: > 10 MPa.
  • Elongation at rupture: > 800%.
  • Temperature resistance: -30°C to +90°C.
  • UV resistance: Resistant.
  • Fire rating: DIN EN 4102 B2.
  • Chemical resistance: Resistant to various acids, bases, and salt water.
Storage: Shelf life of 24 months when stored in a dry place at optimal conditions (20°C / 50% relative humidity).
Adhesive Details: The system uses a 2-component epoxy adhesive with an adhesion strength of > 3.3 N/mm² and peel strength of > 9.0 N/mm.

AREAS OF APPLICATION The VANDEX FLEXTAPE E system bridges and seals expansion and construction joints as well as cracks in concrete constructions. The maximum permissible expansion under continuous load depends on the thickness of the tape and the width of the unbonded flex zone. The VANDEX FLEXTAPE E system is resistant to hydrostatic pressure on the active side. On the passive side, only in combination with a counterpressure structure. In presence of a negative water pressure up to 0.3 bar, there is no need for a counterpressure structure. Expansion joints LAP JOINT WELDING Hot air welding...

FLEXTAPE E APPLICATION 1. The concrete surface to be covered must be sound, normal movement is anticipated, it is advisable to leave clean and free of dust, oil and grease. The laitance has some slack in the tape in the flex zone. 4. Float the final coating by trowel. In case of movement 2. Apply the adhesive as an initial coating to both sides joints, a flex zone must be kept free of adhesive. In case of the joint or crack with a trowel or toothed comb.
