ISO-Chemie sealant booked for library
extension high performance

ISO-Chemie’s impregnated foam tape ISO-BLOCO 600
has been used to provide a high performance weather
seal on the new extension at Manningham Family and
Community Library in Bradford.

The tape has been fitted to a combination
of aluminium exterior and timber interior
windows supplied by Velfac and conforms
to the uneven stone effect brickwork finish
of the library extension to provide a
weather tight seal.

ISO-BLOCO 600 was specified for its high
performance and reliability while offering a cost effective primary weather seal
for the installation process – it provides wind driven rain resistance against
violent storm force conditions (11 on the Beaufort scale), as a guaranteed
minimum.

Incorporating fire resistant qualities, the versatile ISO-BLOCO 600 can be widely
used to provide simple, quick and effective gap seals to accommodate expansion
and movement as well as for weather tightness, plus thermal and acoustic
insulation, while still remaining permeable to trapped water and water vapour
– similar to a flexible breathable style material for the building facade.

Quick and easy-to-apply, the self-adhesive ISO-BLOCO 600 tapes can be used to
seal joints ranging in width from 1 mm to 42 mm. Product can accommodate a
temperature range of -30° to +90° and is impermeable to driving
rain making them some of the best performing tapes in their class.

Once installed, a building is better protected from elemental factors like wind,
dust and moisture ingress by accommodating the changes in structural movement
caused by environmental, cyclical and settlement factors.

ISO-BLOCO 600 can be over painted, is compatible with all standard building
materials and comes with a 10 year warranty. It has a life expectancy in excess of
25 years plus (artificial ageing indicates 80 years plus).

It complies with the relevant UK Building Regulations, as well as DIN EN standards,
covering thermal conductivity, dimension tolerance, impermeamability to driving
rain on joints and vapour diffusion among others.

ISO-Chemie is one of Europe’s main 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.

The company’s UK technical and distribution operation is based in the North East of
England, supported by a dedicated logistics service to ensure customer orders are
completed as quickly and efficiently as possible (usually next-day delivery).
