Product Description
FOX COMBOTAPE is a high-performance thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) waterproofing tape developed for the elastic and permanent protection of expansion joints, construction joints, connection points, and cracks in structures. Its mechanical properties and chemical resistance are designed to meet building requirements across a wide range of applications. The product can be applied to concrete, metal, PVC pipes, and all similar surfaces, delivering outstanding performance with 1000% elongation capacity in both longitudinal and transverse directions, 14 N/mm² tensile strength, and >4.0 bar water pressure resistance. Thanks to its wide service temperature range of -30°C to +90°C, it retains its flexibility even in harsh climatic conditions. With 6500 hours of UV resistance, it is also suitable for long-term outdoor use. An adhesion strength of >4.0 N/mm² is achieved when used with FOX EPOMORTAR FC510 epoxy adhesive.
Advantages

- Foundations, underground structures, channels, and tunnel segments
- Pools, water tanks, silos, and ponds
- Wastewater treatment plants
Application Steps
- 1
Surface Preparation
For expansion joints, both internal and external surfaces must be sound, dry, load-bearing, dust-free, and clean, as well as level and even. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned of all oil, grease, rust, and paraffin residues that could reduce adhesion, and loose particles must be removed. Any surface irregularities must be corrected using FOX EPOMORTAR FC510.

Joint Filling
Joints must be filled with FOX PURMAX® MASTIC or FOX PURSEAL PS600 mastic and allowed to fully cure before proceeding with FOX COMBOTAPE application.

FOX COMBOTAPE Application
FOX EPOMORTAR FC510 is applied to the outer surfaces of the expansion joint, extending 3 cm beyond the width of FOX COMBOTAPE on each side. After FOX COMBOTAPE is positioned over the joint, a second coat of epoxy adhesive is applied in the same manner as the first coat. To achieve the required elongation with FOX COMBOTAPE, the felt strip in the centre must be removed; only in this way can the desired elongation be achieved.

Joint Splicing
Where the tape is joined end-to-end, it is appropriate to use FOX EPOMORTAR FC510 epoxy adhesive or hot welding.
Critical
The surface must be sound, dry, load-bearing, dust-free, and clean, as well as level and even. The surface must be free of oil, grease, rust, and paraffin residues that could reduce adhesion; loose particles must be removed.
Critical
To achieve the required elongation with FOX COMBOTAPE, the felt strip in the centre must be removed; otherwise the desired elongation cannot be achieved.
Critical
Joints must be filled with FOX PURMAX® MASTIC or FOX PURSEAL PS600 mastic and allowed to fully cure before proceeding with FOX COMBOTAPE application.
Critical
Open flames near storage and application areas are dangerous; these areas must be well ventilated.
Important
During application, appropriate work clothing, protective gloves, goggles, and a mask must be worn in accordance with occupational health and safety regulations.
Critical
Avoid contact with skin and eyes during storage and application; in case of contact, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
Important
Food and beverages must not be brought into application areas.
Important
Store out of reach of children.
Important
Store in original unopened packaging in a cool, dry place, protected from frost. For short-term storage, stack no more than 2 pallets high and apply a first-in, first-out dispatch system. For long-term storage, pallets must not be stacked on top of each other.
Information
The values in the technical specifications are given at +23°C and 50% relative humidity. Higher temperatures shorten the time; lower temperatures extend it.
