• Can be made to fit into tight spaces – versatile, can be used in most areas

• New build or refurbishment  applications – one type suits all

• Fixing locations on stainless steel flange – ease of installation

• Flush finish – minimal risk of ‘ponding’

• Versatile ‘O’ ring seal – prevents water backflow

• Many leaf guard options – designed for all applications

• Easy installation – no special tooling required

• Comprehensive range of sizes – solutions for most applications

WATER MANAGEMENT
Efficient water management is critical to the longevity of a building. Rainfall onto flat roofs needs to be correctly managed to protect the structure against ingress of water. When water falls on a roof it should be channeled in the correct direction, this can be aided by the use of tapered (or cut to falls) insulation.This is the ‘collection’ stage.

The water is then removed from the roof area by the ProFlow S PVC rainwater outlets making these products a vital component of the drainage system.

WATER BACKUP
Water backup takes place when a blockage occurs within the main drainage pipework of the building. From the blockage the water ‘backs up’ the pipe until it reaches the point where the outlet has been installed. The seal of the ProFlow S RBM rainwater outlets spigot is therefore a critical point in both new build and refurbishment applications.

The ProFlow S PVC rainwater outlet ‘O’ ring seal meets the requirement of such a critical seal that is fail-safe and proven. In refurbishment applications, the stem of the ProFlow S PVC rainwater outlet is inserted inside the existing pipework and the seal at the base of the outlet ensures that the area is protected from water backup.

RAINWATER CALCULATIONS
For assistance with rainwater and drainage calculations please contact your local Radmat Technical Adviser who will assist in ascertaining that the correct amount of water will be removed from the roof at any given time.

EshaBond CA

DESCRIPTION
EshaBond CA is part of a range of high-performing non-backed membrane adhesives. Other products include: EshaBond CA Fast-Tack EPDM Membrane Contact Adhesive and EshaBond CA Water-based EPDM Membrane Adhesive. All products are single-component adhesives.

Benefits of EshaBond CA Fast-Tack PVC Membrane Contact Adhesive:
• Securely bonds PVC membrane
• Completes detail work quickly
• Minimises the cost of projects
• Protects contractor reputation
• Maximises contractor/ building safety

EshaBond CA is a specialist fast-tack adhesive for bonding PVC membrane to insulation board, deck and up-stands. It is also ideal for detail work. EshaBond CA was developed by expert chemists for Radmat and offers your contractor many benefits.

Securely bonds PVC membranes: it is a specialist contact adhesive
EshaBond CA has been developed specifically for bonding PVC membrane to insulation board, deck and up-stands. PVC leaches plasticisers that prevent it bonding to another substrate, if an inappropriate adhesive is used. This can waste time and money. EshaBond CA is a contact adhesive that is resistant to plasticisers, which allows it to create a strong and secure bond between the PVC and substrate quickly.

Complete denial work quickly: it is a simple-to-apply fast-tack adhesive
Many contractors use EshaBond CA to complete detail work, including up-stands, roof edges and junctions. This is because it is simple to apply to both substrates with a brush and it builds up tack extremely quickly, which ensures a high strength bond in minutes.

Minimises project costs: it eliminates the need for specialist application equipment and lowers labour costs
Specialist equipment is not required to apply EshaBond CA, which means there is no capital investment required from your contractor. Its fast-tack time also helps to lower labour costs by reducing individual task time. EshaBond CA enables your contractor to move quickly from one task to the next.

Protects contractor reputation: it promotes longevity of the roof
Your contractor knows the importance of laying a long-lasting roof in order to protect his/ her reputation. EshaBond CA promotes longevity of the roof because it is elastomeric and durable. Using EshaBond CA also reduces the need for intrusive and damaging mechanical fixings/fasteners.

Maximise contractor/building safety: it eliminates ‘hot works’
Many contractors are turning away from ‘hot works’ due to concerns over safety and rising insurance costs. EshaBond CA maximises contractor/building safety because it eliminates the need for ‘hot works’, which also helps to reduce costs.

APPLICATION
• Ensure all surfaces are free from dust and dirt
• Apply EshaBond CA directly to the insulation board with a lambs-wool roller.
• Allow to dry for 5 minutes or until the adhesive film no longer transfers to the finger tip.
• Position the membrane into EshaBond CA and consolidate substrates to prevent any air entrapment.

EshaBond PU

DESCRIPTION
EshaBond PU is part of a range of high-performing fleeced-backed membrane adhesives. Other products within the range include: EshaBond PU Solvent-Free Membrane Adhesive and EshaBond PU Water-Based Membrane Adhesive. All products are single-component one-way stick adhesives.

Benefits of EshaBond PU High-Tack Membrane Adhesive: 
• Securely bonds membranes to PIR insulation board
• Reduces task time
• Minimises project costs
• Protects contractor reputation
• Maximises contractor/ building safety

EshaBond PU is a specialist high-tack adhesive for bonding fleece-backed membranes to PIR insulation board (tissue and foil-faced).

It has been developed by expert chemists for Radmat and offers your contractor many benefits.

Securely bonds fleece-backed membranes to PIR insulation board: due to its high tack and excellent adhesion EshaBond PU securely bonds fleece-backed membranes to PIR insulation board (tissue and foil-faced) due to its high tack. It creates a strong initial bond between the fleece-backed membrane and the PIR insulation board, which prevents the membrane from lifting. This simplifies the process of laying membranes for your contractor. The excellent adhesion properties of EshaBond PU also ensure a strong and lasting bond between the fleece-backed membrane and PIR insulation board.

Reduces task time: it is a high tack single-component one-way stick moisture-curing polyurethane (MCPU) adhesive
Time is money for your contractor. EshaBond PU reduces task time; it is simple to apply with a lambs-wool roller. This is because it is a single-component one-way stick moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive. EshaBond PU also allows your contractor to move from one task to the other quickly due to its initial strong grip (high tack) and fast cure time. It has been developed to cure rapidly at a wide range of temperatures (5-30°C).

Minimises project costs: it eliminates the need for specialist application equipment and has an excellent coverage rate
Your contractor does not require specialist equipment to apply EshaBond PU, which means there is no need for significant capital investment. EshaBond PU is also extremely economical to use due to its excellent coverage rate of 100m2/20L.

Protects contractor reputation: it promotes longevity of the roof
Your contractor knows the importance of laying a long-lasting roof in order to protect his/her reputation. EshaBond PU promotes longevity because it is elastomeric, heat-resistant and durable. Using EshaBond PU also reduces the need for intrusive
and damaging mechanical fixings/fasteners.

Maximise contractor/building safety: it eliminates ‘hot works’ and is a non- flammable product
Many contractors are turning away from ‘hot works’ due to concerns over safety and rising insurance costs. EshaBond PU maximises contractor/building safety because it eliminates the need for ‘hot works’, which also helps to reduce costs. EshaBond PU is also safe to store on site because it is a non-flammable product.

APPLICATION
• Ensure all surfaces are free from dust, grease and other contaminants.
• Apply EshaBond PU directly to the insulation board with a lambs-wool roller.
• Leave the insulation board for 10 minutes in order to allow the solvent to escape from the adhesive film.
• Roll the fleece-backed membrane into EshaBond PU and consolidate substrates to prevent any air entrapment.
