Full Product Description

Platon Sealing Rope is a crucial component in the installation and maintenance of waterproofing systems, offering a flexible and reliable solution for achieving a watertight seal in various construction scenarios. Made from high-quality butyl rubber, this sealing rope is designed to be used in place of traditional sealing washers, providing an effective seal around the necks of fixing plugs such as Platon Brick Plugs or Platon Plaster Plugs, when securing waterproof membranes to substrates such as brickwork, concrete, and stone. Its superior adhesion and flexibility make it an ideal choice for both straightforward and complex waterproofing applications, ensuring long-lasting protection against moisture ingress.

The butyl composition of Platon Sealing Rope is known for its exceptional sealing properties. Butyl rubber is highly resistant to water, air, and chemical exposure, making it the material of choice for applications where maintaining a robust and durable seal is essential. The rope’s flexibility allows it to conform to irregularities in the substrate and the membrane, ensuring a tight and consistent seal around fixing points. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where the structure may be subject to movement or where precise sealing is critical to the performance of the waterproofing system.

Platon Sealing Rope is also highly effective when used to seal overlaps between adjacent sheets of waterproof membrane, particularly in scenarios where traditional flange joints or stud-into-stud joints are not feasible. By applying the sealing rope along the edges of the overlapping membranes, a continuous and watertight barrier is created, preventing any potential water ingress at these critical points. This application is especially useful in below-ground waterproofing projects, where the integrity of the membrane system is paramount to preventing moisture-related damage.

The application process for Platon Sealing Rope is straightforward, making it easy to use in a variety of settings. When sealing around fixing plugs, the rope is simply wrapped around the neck of the plug before it is inserted into the pre-drilled hole through the membrane and into the substrate. As the plug is driven into place, the rope compresses to form a watertight seal, preventing water from penetrating the membrane at the fixing points. When sealing membrane overlaps, the rope is applied directly to the edge of one membrane sheet before the adjacent sheet is pressed firmly into place, ensuring a continuous seal along the entire joint.

In addition to its primary use with Platon Waterproof Membranes, Platon Sealing Rope is fully compatible with other leading waterproofing systems, including Platinum, Wykamol, and Newton membranes. This compatibility makes it a versatile tool for professionals working on a range of waterproofing projects, from new construction to refurbishment and retrofitting. The sealing rope’s adaptability and ease of use ensure that it can be effectively employed in both small-scale and large-scale waterproofing applications, delivering consistent and reliable results every time.

Supplied in rolls of 10mm width and 5.0 metres length, Platon Sealing Rope provides ample material for covering extensive areas, making it a convenient choice for various project sizes. The rope’s compact and flexible format allows it to be easily stored and transported, ensuring that it is readily available when needed on-site.

Product Benefits:

• Watertight Sealing: Platon Sealing Rope provides a dependable, watertight seal around fixing plugs and at membrane overlaps. Its butyl rubber composition ensures that it adheres strongly to both the membrane and the substrate, preventing water ingress and maintaining the integrity of the waterproofing system.
  
  

• High Flexibility and Adhesion: The flexibility of the butyl rubber allows the sealing rope to conform to irregular surfaces, ensuring a tight and consistent seal. Its strong adhesive properties ensure that the seal remains effective over time, even in challenging environmental conditions.
  
  

• Versatile Application: Platon Sealing Rope can be used as an alternative to sealing washers around fixing plugs and is also ideal for sealing overlaps between adjacent membrane sheets. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of waterproofing applications, providing a reliable solution for different project requirements.
  
  

• Compatible with Multiple Membrane Systems: In addition to its use with Platon Waterproof Membranes, Platon Sealing Rope is compatible with other leading systems, including Platinum, Wykamol, and Newton membranes. This compatibility enhances its versatility, allowing it to be used across various waterproofing projects.
  
  

• Easy to Use: The application process for Platon Sealing Rope is straightforward, requiring minimal tools and effort. Its ease of use makes it an ideal choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable waterproofing solution.

Typical Applications:

• Basement Waterproofing: Platon Sealing Rope is widely used in basement waterproofing projects to create watertight seals around fixing plugs and membrane overlaps. Its reliable performance ensures that basements remain dry and protected from moisture ingress, making them suitable for habitable use.
  
  

• Damp Proofing: In damp proofing applications, Platon Sealing Rope is essential for sealing membrane overlaps and around fixing plugs, preventing moisture penetration at these critical points. This helps maintain a dry and healthy environment within the building.
  
  

• Membrane Overlaps: The sealing rope is ideal for use in sealing overlaps between adjacent sheets of waterproof membrane, particularly in scenarios where traditional flange joints or stud-into-stud joints are not possible. By creating a continuous seal along the joint, Platon Sealing Rope prevents water ingress at these vulnerable points.
  
  

• Retrofitting and Refurbishment Projects: Platon Sealing Rope is particularly useful in retrofitting and refurbishment projects, where additional waterproofing measures are required. Its ability to create watertight seals around new fixings and membrane overlaps ensures that the upgraded system performs effectively, even in older structures.
  
  

• New Construction Projects: For new builds, Platon Sealing Rope is an essential component in ensuring that below-ground structures are waterproofed from the start. Its use helps prevent potential water ingress issues that could arise during the building's lifespan, ensuring a dry and secure environment.

Platon Sealing Rope is an indispensable tool for achieving effective and reliable waterproofing in a variety of construction and refurbishment projects. Its flexibility, strong adhesion, and compatibility with multiple membrane systems make it a versatile and trusted choice for professionals in the waterproofing industry.

Whether you are working on a new build, a refurbishment, or a retrofitting project, Platon Sealing Rope provides the performance and durability you need to ensure a watertight and long-lasting barrier against moisture ingress.
