Butyl Sealing Rope for Watertight Membrane Fixings and Overlaps Biokil Crown Sealing Rope is a 10mm diameter, high-tack butyl rope designed to provide a watertight seal around fixing plugs and membrane joints within cavity drainage and damp-proofing systems. Supplied in a 5-metre roll, this flexible sealing rope is ideal for use with Biokil Crown and Newton cavity drainage membranes to prevent water tracking through or around plug fixings and to seal overlaps between membrane sheets. Essential for maintaining system integrity in basement and below-ground waterproofing projects. Key Features & Benefits Watertight Plug Sealing: Wraps around fixing plugs to prevent moisture tracking through the substrate. Membrane Joint Sealing: Used to seal membrane overlaps in vertical and horizontal applications. Flexible Butyl Composition: Conformable to irregular surfaces and maintains a long-lasting bond. High Tack Adhesion: Bonds to plastic membranes, concrete, and brick surfaces with ease. Compatible with Leading Systems: Works seamlessly with Biokil Crown and Newton System 500 membranes and fixings.
