Optimally, a clean dry uncontaminated surface is desired to obtain intimate adhesion, but realistically there are field situations that prevent complete control of surface conditions.
Obviously, excessive oil, caked-on dirt, free standing water and ice or snow must be removed before sealant tape is applied.

This sealant tape can be applied in cold temperatures. Temperatures below 40°F (4.44°C) often promote the formation of condensation and frost substrates. These should be removed
before the sealant tape is applied in order to achieve optimum performance. Remove condensation and other moisture with a clean dry cloth and isopropyl (IPA) alcohol. Follow this with a dry cloth wipe.

A light film of lubricant used in roll forming is usually present on unpainted surfaces, such as Galvalume and should not adversely affect the sealant tape performance. If excess lubricant is
present wiping with a clean cloth should minimize it.

Position tape sealant on required seal area with release backing paper on top. The tape sealant should be positioned on the “wet”, or entry sides of the fasteners to prevent passage of dynamic weather elements. Using a smooth even hand motion; press the tape to the surface to make intimate contact without distorting the tape sealant. Avoid lapping the tape by butt joining tapes at transition points. Remove release-backing paper prior to mating adjoining surface and fastening. IF SEALANT TAPE IS IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH ANY OTHER SEALANT OR ELASTOMER, A COMPATIBILITY TEST MUST BE CONDUCTED PRIOR TO USE.
