ISO chemie’s new thin blue line seals window sustainability
joints on windows, doors and panels, OUTSIDE BLUE LINE acts as a flexible and durable vapour diffusing foil to improve the release of moisture to the atmosphere.
A new range of bio-based self- adhesive connection foils from fenestration foam tape specialist ISO Chemie, offers improved sustainability around window sealing.
High performance ISO CONNECT BLUE LINE is manufactured from renewable materials, including polymers based on sugar beet, sugarcane, corn, maize and other similar plant species, which absorb large amounts of CO2 during growth, providing performance qualities similar to foils manufactured from synthetic materials.
The INSIDE BLUE LINE option provides rapid and effective airtight bonding of window connection joints on the interior side of a building structure, creating a vapour diffusion barrier that prevents condensation and mould build-up around the window frame area. Suitable for exterior sealing of connection
18
The foils comply with European environmental regulations (EnEV), RAL installation guidelines and are resistant to driving rain, impermeable to water, airtight and windproof. An elastic-type quality ensures joint movements can be effectively accommodated post installation, while enhanced flexibility and tear-resistant features allow the foils to be applied easily and accurately on angled constructions.
Product, which comes with a 10-year guarantee, can be over plastered, painted and glued during and post installation thanks to a fleece effect surface and are available in 30m rolls in a selection of width options: 70mm, 90mm, 145mm, 180mm, 235mm and 290 mm.
ISO-Chemie is one of Europe's leading producers of impregnated foam sealants, specialising in the manufacturer of foam products from polyethylene (EPE), polypropylene (EPP) and polyurethane (PUR) using the latest production techniques. n

Henkel locks down at high temperatures Specifically formulated for use in high temperature and high-pressure environments, LOCTITE®
NS 5540
and 5550 from Henkel are sealing compounds that cure in the presence of heat to form a mechanical seal on metal-to-metal flanges and fittings. They are designed to allow for disassembly during routine maintenance and can also be used as a gasket dressing to extend the service life of traditional gaskets. LOCTITE NS 5540 is a single component, high strength, product whose low viscosity makes it easily brushable onto flanges or threads. It is suitable for sealing flanges up to 20MPa (2900 psi). For higher pressure requirements, up to 34.5MPa (5000 psi), LOCTITE NS 5550 is recommended. This product is a thermal reactive, heavy bodied, fibrous paste that fills large gaps by expanding upon cure. Both products have a service temperature rating of 30°C to 700°C.
These new additions are unaffected by thermal cycling and provide an immediate, low-pressure seal before curing to create a high-pressure, temperature and chemical resistant seal. They are suitable for sealing steam, hydrocarbons, gases and other process fluids typically found in power generation facilities, pulp and paper mills, mines and oil & gas refineries.
Likely applications for LOCTITE NS 5540 are sealing threaded fittings, pump and turbine case flanges, doors, boiler sight glasses and for repairing leaking gaskets. As well as sealing case flanges, LOCTITE NS 5540 is the best choice for duct flanges, exhaust systems, pipe connections and pressure vessels. n

Protecting against water ingress when tiling Recent changes to British Standards now state that all commercial and domestic wet areas should be tanked with an appropriate waterproofing system prior to tiling.
This is because most tile adhesives and polymer-modified cement- based grouts on the market are “water resistant” and not “waterproof.” This means that water will still penetrate through the tiled assembly and could potentially damage water sensitive backgrounds such as plaster or plasterboard.
Dunlop, which manufactures tiling and flooring products for the trade, offers a Shower Waterproofing Kit, specially designed to include everything required to allow tradespeople to waterproof a shower area, wet room or walk in shower area in a quick, easy and simple way.
Designed for any internal intermittent area where continued exposure to water may cause damage, the kit fully waterproofs the background behind the tiles to prevent water
penetration up to 1.5metres high in a two-walled shower unit or 1metre high in a three-walled shower unit.
The kit contains a primer, ready-mixed tanking paste, corner tape and matting.
Ready to tile in 24 hours, the kit prevents water saturating the whole area, reducing the risk of unsightly black mould forming, and drastically reducing the risk of more serious issues such as floor collapse and other surfaces vulnerable to corrosion. n
