Sealion LAF

SealionTM Liquid Applied Flashing is part of a continuous, building-wide weather barrier system. It is used to adhere, transition and through-wall sheet ashing.

Advantages

  • Single-component Easy to gun, spread-and-tool, or roller apply to produce a highly durable, seamless, elastomeric ashing membrane.
  • Same day installation of windows, doors and other wall assembly, waterproong or air barrier compo-nents.
  • Suitable for all climates, SealionTM LAF bonds directly to wet or dry surfaces and cures under a variety of weather conditions.
  • UV exposure for up to 12 months.
  • No mold growth.
  • VOC maximum 30 g/L.

Cured Properties

  • Tensile strenght > 160 psi
  • Water vapor transmission (ASTM E 96) 21 perms
  • Flash point >200 F
  • Temperature required 32 F -- 110 F

Preparation

Apply to clean surfaces free of contaminants.

  • Presure treated or re rated wood. Clean with alcohol wipes before applying Sealion TM LAF
  • Concrete. Apply SealionTM LAF after 7 days of concrete curing. Ensure the absence of any curing compounds.
  • In rouch openings. Apply to raw gypsum board edges in a thin, uniform coat.
  • Ensure positive drainage at all rough openings.
  • Any gaps grater than 1 inch should be structurally repaired.

Application Gun-Grade

  • Apply SealionTM LAf using a professional caulking gun and spread with DRY joint knife, trowel, or spatula.
  • Use as packaged. Do not dilute or alter.
  • Coverage: 15 - 17 sqft/sausage at 12 - 15 mil

Rough openings and wall penetrations

  • Apply a bed of SealionTM LAF in each corner of the rouhc opening and at the sehathing-to-stud transition. Strike smooth with a DRY tool. Joint widths up to 1/4 inch may be treated with SealionTM LAF and no backed rod. Use rod and seam ller for joints larger than 1/4 inch. Structurally improve joints larger than 1 inch.
  • Apply SealionTM LAF mover the exterior inside framing of the rough opening and onto the exteror vertical wall surface 4-6 inches to create a 12-15 mil thick monolitic ashing surface. When using with existing weather resistive barrier membrane, extend SealionTM LAF 8 inches over the face of the exterior wall for positive drainage.
  • Allow treated surfaces to skin before installing wall assembly components.
