RESSA-RYZW-sodium-silicate-intumescent-strips

There are numbers types of self-adhesive in market, which self-adhesive is suitable for the gun safes doors frames? We researtch and test nearly 50 types adhesive like 3M brand 9448A, 9495LE … And give suggestion on the self-adhesive choosing and intallation notice for gun safes.

Usuallly the gun safes surface has the special treatment of powder metal painting design with uneven surface, if the self-adhesive has not strong performance it is very easy to be peeling off after sticking. After more than 120 times testing, we choose the grid type self-adhesive which include the 2mm thickness of glue which can fufill the small holes and uneven surface of gun safes surface and tightly sealing the seals on frame.

Intumescent fire seal is just a small part, while the big problem will be brough if its adhesive is not suitable for guns safes. RESSA provide the Install Guiding List as below for helping sticking the tape in correct way.

Read Before installation, failure to do so may result in improper adhesion and performance.

Storage and shelf life

all adhesive gaskets have a limited shelf life, this product must be used within 6 months of purchase and must be stored between 10°C and 40°C. Store carefully in a dry and well-ventilated place. The RYZW Series products should be stored and used protected from water, high atmospheric humidity and sustained temperatures above 40°C.

Before installing

Thoroughly clean the frame with the enclosed cleansing towelette to remove grease, dust or cleanser build-up. Before installation, wait for frame surface to completely dry(evaporate). Some hospital environment have wax or anti-bacterial cleanser build-up. As an alternative or substitute cleanser, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Note: Mineral spirits or other petroleum based cleaning products should NOT be used.

Application temperature

If frames are too cold ( below 10°C) or too hot (above 40°C) adhesion my be impaired.

When to install

. Installation should take place after construction is completed, flooring is installed and finial cleaning is completed

. Paint on frame must be cured for at least 5-7 days. Paint can not be wet under dry surface when gaskets are pressed on. Avoid quick-dry primers, which leave a powdery surface preventing sufficient adhesion. When applying to a wood frame, the surface must be non-porous and sealed. Follow standard industry guidelines on sealed wood frames and / or rough surface before applying. Note: Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal or silicone additives in paint may inhibit adhesion.

Application tips and warning

. Do NOT stretch material. Product can retract or shrink if stretched.

. Use very firm, perpendicular pressure when applying. Use wallpaper seam roller to reinforce adhesion after applying.

. Double check adhesion after 2-3 hours before leaving job overnight.

. If gasket separates from frame, press again with firm pressure in place. If adhesive strip is exposed, airborne dust may impede adhesion. Replacement may be necessary.

. Application at header can be awkward due to overhead condition. Be sure to apply enough pressure.

NOTE

Adhesion takes delayed set. Immediate removal and resetting can be done if error occurs in initial placement.

DO NOT reset after one hour. Full set is reached in 24 hours.
