AQUA FLASH 500
A 40 mil sheet type flashing membrane consisting of 8 mils of a high density cross laminated polyethylene film bonded to 32 mils of highly adhesive rubberized asphalt with a silicone coated release liner.


AQUA FLASH 500
Product Description:
AQUA FLASH 500 is a self sticking flashing with the following features:

Self-sealing
Self-healing if damaged somewhat due to the rubberized asphalt's ability to elongate and recover

Excellent puncture resistance

No reglet needed when adhering membrane to vertical substrate

Uses:
AQUA FLASH 500 is ideal for use as:
Thru-Wall Flashing
Concealed Flashing
Foundation Sill Flashing
Base Flashing
Spandrel Flashing
Head and Sill Flashing
Parapet Flashing

Installation:
AQUA FLASH 500 should be cut into 8-10 foot lengths. Remove the release liner and apply membrane to substrate. Once membrane is in place, use a steel hand roller to firmly secure flashing. All side laps should be a minimum of 2-1/2 inches. Inside and outside corners must be covered with two layers of membrane and sealed with AQUA FLASH mastic.

Sizes: AQUA FLASH 500
Standard Width    12" 18" 24" 36"

When necessary, AQUA FLASH 500 can be applied as part of a system which uses both the AQUA FLASH mastic and AQUA FLASH primer.

AQUA FLASH Mastic
Product Description: AQUA FLASH Mastic is a highly rubberized asphalt adhesive used in conjunction with the AQUA FLASH membrane

Use: Seals all horizontal terminations, seams, laps, protrusions, accidental cuts or punctures

AQUA FLASH Primer
Product Description: AQUA FLASH Primer is a water based adhesive used in conjunction with the AQUA FLASH membrane

Use: If the substrate is not dirt free, or the membrane will not adhere properly.
