Product Description: JOINT SEALING TAPE-2000 is an elastomeric, highly tear resistant, waterproofing tape which prevents the passage of moisture and water through static construction joints and static cracks in concrete. Typical Applications (positive side only): • Static construction joints in concrete: - Below grade foundations - WTP (water treatment plants) and WWTP (waste water treatment plants) - Fountains, pools, water tanks (2K/M stand alone only) • Static cracks in concrete: - Below-grade foundations - WTP (water treatment plants) and WWTP (waste water treatment plants) - Fountains, pools, water tanks, underneath tiles Advantages: • NSF/ANSI 61 potable water approved (when used with AQUAFIN-2K/M) • Quick and easy installation • Waterproof Substrate Preparation: Refer to 2K/M Technical Data Sheet. Product Application: JOINT SEALING TAPE-2000 is bonded to concrete with AQUAFIN-2K/M flexible cementitious waterproofing material. Refer to the AQUAFIN-2K/M Technical Data Sheet for mixing and application instructions. Apply first (base) coat of AQUAFIN-2K/M, extending a minimum of 3/4” (20mm) beyond either side of tape. Immediately embed JOINT SEALING TAPE-2000 into the first coat uniformly, leaving no wrinkles, using a trowel or similar tool. To connect tapes, after installing the first tape, overlap a second tape a minimum of 4” (100mm) using AQUAFIN-2K/M. Allow 3 to 4 hours to cure. Then, cover the JOINT SEALING TAPE-2000 with a second coat of AQUAFIN-2K/M and smooth the surface with a damp brush.
