AQUA FLASH 500 Flashing

DESCRIPTION
A composite sheet type waterproofing membrane consisting of 8 mils of a high density cross laminated polyethylene membrane bonded to 32 mils of a highly adhesive SBS modified bitumen (rubberized asphalt) with a removable silicone coated kraft paper release liner. When necessary Aqua Flash 500 membrane can be applied as part of a system which uses both an Aqua Flash mastic and primer.

Features and Benefits- A composite flashing which is:
� Self-sealing
� Excellent puncture resistance
� Self-healing since the adhesive system will elongate and recover if somewhat damaged
� No reglet needed when adhering membrane to vertical substrate
� High temperature stability

MODEL SPECIFICATIONS:
Special Requirements: All material specified shall be delivered to the jobsite in approved manufacturer's sealed containers bearing manufacturer's name and material identification.

Preparation: All masonry and other surfaces receiving flashings should be reasonably smooth, free from loose material and completely dry. There shall be no slopes which would prevent the free flow of water to the exterior surface of the wall. All work shall be executed in conformance with accepted trade practices.

Materials: Flashings shall be Aqua Flash 500 Flashing consisting of 8 mils of high density cross laminated polyethylene bonded to 32 mils, of rubberized asphalt for a total thickness of 40 mils.

Applications:
� Thru-Wall Flashing
� Concealed Flashing
� Foundation Sill Flashing
� Base Flashing
� Spandrel Flashing
� Head and Sill Flashing
� Parapet Flashing

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Aqua Flash 500
Aqua Flash 500 should be cut into manageable lengths of approximately 8 to 10 feet. Remove the release liner.  Apply Aqua Flash 500 membrane starting from the lowest point and work upwards. Once the membrane is in place, use a steel hand roller to secure the flashing firmly in place. All side laps should be a minimum of 2 1/2".

Inside and outside corners must be covered with two layers of membrane and sealed with mastic.

Once installed, no maintenance is req u i red.

Note: Not to be used for exposed flashing.

Not to be applied below 25°F

Not to be applied below 40°F without a primer

Not to be used with oil based, wax based or polysulfide sealants or creosote.

Storage: Temperature not to exceed 120° F or go below 25° Fahrenheit.
Protect products from inclement weather or excessive heat.

Sizes: Standard Widths: 12", 16", 18", 24", 36"
Standard Length: 50 lineal feet

AQUA/FLASH MASTIC:
A rubberized asphalt based adhesive to be used in conjunction with the Aqua Flash 500 membrane to seal all horizontal terminations, seams, laps, protrusions and any accidental cuts or punctures. Temperature application is to be 25° F or above.

No solvent based mastics are to be used without the approval of the manufacturer.

AQUA/FLASH EMULSION PRIMER:
A solvent free, odorless primer specifically formulated to be used in conjunction with Aqua Flash 500 membrane to provide good initial adhesion and excellent permanent adhesion.

Uses:
AQUA FLASH Emulsion Primer is used to prime all surfaces where AQUA FLASH 500 membrane is applied such as concrete, masonry and wood. The AQUA FLASH Emusion Primer is to be used in ambient and substrate temperatures above 40°F (4°C). This primer can be applied to damp surfaces including green concrete.

Application:
Either spray, roll or brush apply AQUA FLASH Emulsion Primer at a rate of 250-300 square feet per gallon onto a clean, dry, dust and dirt free surface. Spread primer evenly, avoiding puddles. Allow primer to dry for 4 hours. On warm days drying may occur more rapidly. Any areas which are primed should be covered with AQUA FLASH 500 membrane within 24 hours or re-primed following the same procedure.

Storage:
AQUA FLASH Emulsion Primer may deteriorate upon freezing. Store in protected area. Do not apply below 40°F (4°C) or when rain is imminent.

AQUA/FLASH 500 PRIMER:
A one component solvent-base, high tack primer specifically designed to promote maximum adhesion of the Aqua Flash 500 membrane waterproofing on all vertical and horizontal surfaces when the substrate is either not dirt free or when membrane will not adhere properly

Application:
Apply by spray, brush or long nap roller to all surfaces in an even coat at 250-300 square feet per gallon. At 75°F, allow primer to dry one hour minimum, 8 hours maximum. Primer has satisfactory cure when surface is tacky, but does not transfer when touched. if the AQUA FLASH 500 membrane is not applied within the maximum dry time, re-prime.

Do not apply below 25°F.

Packaging:
AQUA FLASH 500 solvent-base, high tack primer is packaged in 5 gallon pails.

Caution:
Use with adequate ventilation and avoid breathing of vapors. In closed areas, workmen should wear approved breathing apparatus, protective clothing and eye protection. Avoid ingestion. See MSDS sheets for further information.
