PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Anabond 899 is a 100% solids, asbestos-free butyl tape sealant that can best be described as a highly
rubbery, tacky, reinforced compound ideal for sealing joints encountered in pre-engineered metal building
fabrication. Anabond 899 Rope Sealant is easy to apply and compress during installation. It exhibits
excellent application and performance characteristics over a wide temperature range and will not become
brittle, crack or flow on installed detail. It is available in various sizes supplied on easy to use rolls.

It is used to seal and prevent the entry of dust, air and moisture through details found in pre-engineered
metal buildings. Several of these details are endlaps, sidelaps, vents, gutters, roof jacks, window fins,
door fins and skylights.

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

The sealant exhibits resistance to ultraviolet and infrared radiation's, precipitation, atmospheric
hydrocarbon contamination and extremes in temperature. It has adhesion to the metals and paint
finishes typically found in metal building construction and will not stain these surfaces. Shelf life is 12
months when stored in a dry place where temperature does not exceed 100°F (38°C)

METHOD OF USE
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, freestanding water and ice or snow must be removed before the tape sealant is applied.
This sealant can be applied in cold temperatures. However, temperatures below 40°F (4.44°C) often
promote the formation of condensation and frost on surfaces. These should be removed before the
sealant is applied in order to achieve optimum performance.

Remove condensation and other moisture with a clean dry cloth (change cloths often) or blow water away
with a blast of air. Remove frost with a clean cloth and isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Follow this with a dry
cloth wipe. Note: The use of this solvent or other solvents may be hazardous to your health. Use only in
well ventilated areas. Keep away from Flame. Read all labeling before use and follow solvent
manufacturer's recommendations and instructions for safe handling.

A light film of lubricant used in roll forming is usually present on unpainted surfaces, such as galvanized
steel, and should not adversely affect the seal performance of Anabond 899. If excess lubricant is
present, it will be visible and should be minimized by wiping with a clean cloth.

Surfaces that are to be sealed should be inspected prior to tape sealant application. Any situation that
the tape sealant failure should be reported to the erection superintendent, foreman or contractor-
inspector.
 ..2..

Position tape sealant on required seal area with 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 of tape by butt joining tapes at transition points. Remove
backing paper prior to mating adjoining surface and fastening. IF THIS TAPE SEALANT IS IN DIRECT
CONTACT WITH ANY OTHER SEALANT OR ELASTOMER, A COMPATIBILITY TEST MUST BE
CONDUCTED PRIOR TO USE.
