ELASTIFLASH

USES
ELASTIFLASH is a universal compound ideal for roof flashing, details, patching of cracks and splits in roofs, repair of flashing details, roof blisters, roof curbs, vent pipes, skylights, spouts, wall and foundation. It is also suitable to seal cracks in concrete walls and floors as well as tile joints.
ELASTIFLASH is recommended when extreme expansion and contraction can occur and when elastic properties are desirable.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES 

ELASTIFLASH has excellent adhesion   quality 

Forms a strong and durable bond. 

Has excellent expansion and contraction   properties, similar to rubber and can   withstand the extreme expansion and   contraction of the high stress areas of the   roof such as flashing and/or joints, even at   extremely low temperatures.           Fortified to withstand heat and ultra violet radiation.

Durable and easy to apply. 

Single component. Can be applied straight   from the container, thereby saving labour   costs.

DESCRIPTION
BITUMAT ELASTIFLASH is a high quality, trowel grade, cold applied, rubberized bitumen cement formulated with ductile bitumen, rubber, mineral stabilizers and special anti oxidation/ozone additives.

INSTALLATION APPLICATION
The surface must be clean, free of dirt, dust and debris, grease or oil. Over concrete, metal or brittle asphalt surfaces, prime with BITUFAST before applying ELASTIFLASH. It does not require any heating or thinning. It can be applied by trowel or putty knife.

CLEANING
Tools : Clean with kerosene
Hands : Use a hand cleaner or kerosene, followed by soap and water.

COVERAGE RATES :
One course application: 2.4 - 2.5 Kg/M2 Two course application: 4.8 - 5.0 Kg/M2 (Allow 1 st course to cure 4 hours before installing 2nd course)

STANDARDS
Exceeds the performance requirement of ASTM D 4586

PACKING
20-kg pails and 200-kg drums

HEALTH & SAFETY
Contains Petroleum distillate; flammable; keep away from open fire, sparks or other ignition sources. Wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles.
1 . Fire - Flammable when wet, flash point 40 deg. C.
2. Skin - Avoid repeated or prolonged contact. Remove with hand cleaner that removes oil or grease, then clean with soap and water.
3. Eyes - Contact could cause irritation. If contact occurs flush with clean water.
4. Inhalation - Can cause dizziness. Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty persist, administer oxygen.
