Mule-Hide Products Co. launched new Helix® Max Llow-Rise Aadhesive which offers quick, low-odor application and strong adhesion for roofing application.
It also offers greater elongation and tensile strength, ability to be applied in colder temperatures, and the additional packaging option of convenient 5-gallon jug sets.
Polyurethane Foam Adhesive for Multiple Applications
Helix Max is a two-component, construction-grade
polyurethane foam adhesive designed to bond approved for
-
Roof insulations
-
Thermal barriers
-
Cover boards
-
Fleece-back single-ply membranes (TPO, PVC and PVC KEE) to a wide variety of roofing substrates
It replaces MuleHide Helix Low-Rise Adhesive.
Unique Properties
-
Like the original Helix, Helix Max is applied in a single step.
-
Both parts of the adhesive are ready to use from the container and are applied simultaneously in a 1:1 ratio through a static mix tip.
-
It eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners, maintaining a continuous vapor retarder, preventing thermal bridging and protecting the structural integrity of the roof deck.
-
Helix Max can be applied in colder temperatures, helping prevent weather-related delays.
-
The substrate and ambient temperature must be above 25 F when applying Helix Max, compared to 32 F with the original Helix.
-
Elongation of up to 150% and increased tensile strength ensure an exceptionally strong bond.
-
Superior wind uplift resistance enables Helix Max to be used on taller buildings and in higher wind zones. The adhesive also is better able to withstand extreme temperatures.
-
Full-spray splatter application when installing fleece-back membranes provides superior hail resistance and improved energy efficiency.
-
Puncture resistance is increased by 33%-50% when full-spray splatter application is used.
-
A continuous layer of Helix Max increases a roofing system’s R-value by 0.20 to 0.50 per layer.
Low-odor & Solvent-free Formulation
Helix Max is low-odor and solvent-free which contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), making it crew-, building occupant- and environment-friendly.
In addition to the new 5-gallon jug sets, Helix Max is available in twin-pack cartridges, tanks, and 15- and 50-gallon drums.
