Torch Flex Ultra Bond

Product Discription

Torch Flex Ultra Bond is a Vapour Barrier designed to solve the problem where insulation boards must be bonded without using bitumen or an adhesive.

The indentations of the rusticated top face of the membrane consist of a thermoplastic adhesive, which melts quickly when torched and forms a strong bond with the insulation panels pressed on to the membrane. The top face of a normal vapour barrier membrane has a layer of bitumen covering the reinforcement, which is no more than 1 - 1.5 mm thick, while the rusticated indentations of Torch Flex Ultra Bond protrude by 3 - 3.5 mm like an adhesive applied with a toothed spatula. Once the flame has softened the adhesive it is easier to level off the prominent zones with the torch, making up for any unevenness in the substrate.

Torch Flex Ultra Bond has two longitudinal overlapping strips, which form almost the same thickness as the rusticated part of the membrane when they are bonded together.

Features & Benefits

• Time Saving

With Torch Flex Ultra Bond there will be no more time wasted waiting for cold bond adhesives to set or risks of burns when installing molten bitumen, along with a significant reduction in waste and pollution. The high softening point of the rusticated indentations is over 140 degrees higher than that of oxidised bitumen normally used for bonding insulation panels, along with the high adhesive surface area, which can be obtained (around 40 %) and this guarantees the reliable installation on any slope.

• Single Component

With Torch Flex Ultra Bond you do not need other materials, because you have an adhesive and vapour barrier in one single product.

• Highly Resistant

Torch Flex Ultra Bond is a highly resistant vapour barrier reinforced with a rot - proof strengthened fibreglass mat combined with a 60-micron aluminium foil sheet, a total vapour barrier. Both faces are coated with flamina, a plastic film that melts when torched.
