VaproBond

QUICK OVERVIEW

hagen 160813 0111 editweb2 VaproBond is a single component 100% silicone sealant designed to adhere low surface energy materials to themselves. Use VaproBond to bind layers of VaproShield membranes and/or adhere to typical construction material surfaces and/or as a liquid-applied flashing component with metal framing systems.

UV stable, black silicone sealant and all-weather flashing material
Binds layers of VaproShield membranes and other typical construction materials
Creates watertight and airtight details
Applies in 20°F (-6.7° C) and rising
No primers, easy to gun and apply

Benefits

Fuctions as a sealant and an all-weather silicone liquid flashing material
Bonds to most common building materials without priming to produce a durable, structural, air and moisture tight seal
Remains flexible under extreme temperatures
Excellent weatherability, UV stable for extended exposure

Compatibility

Concrete
Masonry
Natural stone
Structural sheathing
Painted Metals
Glass
PVC
FRP
EPDM
Dry wood
Architectural Metal Panels
Most building materials, urethane, and acrylic sealants and coatings

Typical Uses: Sealant

Sealant Image web Use VaproBond adhesive sealant to create a watertight, airtight seal at the vertical seams when installing VaproShield mechanically attached WRB/Air Barriers.

1 Sausage = 125 lin.ft.

Window Sealant web A. Fully embed head flashing (by others) in VaproBond over Vapro-SS Flashing™.
B. Seal rough opening corners with a bead of VaproBond.

For all penetrations: tool VaproBond evenly at least 2” onto the face and at least 1” out along all sides of the penetration

Typical Uses: Flashing

VaproBond Flashing Components 101717 1. WrapFlashing SA Self-Adhered (W: 6 ½”, 11 ¾”, 19 2/3”) is pre-cut field membrane. Simply cut WrapFlashing SA into appropriate lengths and apply to face and inside of rough opening. Saves labor, saves time, convenient.

2. Create waterproof interface by applying VaproBond to inside of rough opening and 1" on face.
