Type:
The ARDEX SK TRICOM Sealing Tape consists of a double-sided laminated polypropylene fleece carrier with a polyurethane carrier layer and, in the case of ARDEX SK 12 BT, an additional butyl adhesive strip. The material is waterproof, easy to cut with a knife or scissors, embeds very well into sealing compounds, does not fold, and has high adhesion to sealing materials.
The low material thickness allows for an almost seamless coating with ARDEX sealing compounds.
The ARDEX SK TRICOM Sealing Tapes are sufficiently permeable to diffusion, allowing the underlying sealing compounds to dry and cure.

Surface Preparation
The instructions contained in the technical data sheets of ARDEX sealing compounds and ARDEX sealing membranes must be observed. The joint openings must be sufficiently wide according to their calculated movement and, if necessary, chamfered at the edges to form loops.

Application of ARDEX SK 12 TRICOM Sealing Tape
The sealing tapes are freshly embedded into the previously rolled, troweled, or spatula-applied ARDEX sealing compound in a manner appropriate to the application, and immediately pressed firmly with a smoothing trowel or spatula. The ARDEX sealing compound must be the same as that used for the subsequent bonded waterproofing.
For waterproofing with the ARDEX SK 100 W sealing membrane, ARDEX 78 Sealing Adhesive should be used to embed the sealing tapes. By gently pressing the tape lying over the edge or movement joint, a loop can be formed as a material reserve for larger movements. Care must be taken that the sealing compound does not penetrate into the movement space below. In the overlap area, the sealing tapes should overlap by at least 5 cm or be covered with the respective sealing compound used.
After installing all necessary parts of the sealing set, the bonded waterproofing can be started. During this process, the second layer of the bonded waterproofing should be applied over the sealing tape, corners, and sleeves. In the area of the movable zone, e.g., expansion joints, the sealing material should be cut out to the same width.

Important notes:
The ARDEX SK TRICOM Sealing Tapes must not be used in direct contact with solvent-based sealants or adhesives.
In particularly exposed areas with aggressive chemical loads and exposure to oils, fuels, or alcohols, technical advice should be obtained before use.
In case of doubt, a trial installation or compatibility test should be performed.
