Ecobuild 2014

Visitors blown away by ISO-Chemie
at Ecobuild 2014
One of Europe’s leading producers
of foam sealant tapes ISO-Chemie
(Stand N1220/21) will be blowing
hot and cold at Ecobuild 2014 as
it takes an innovative approach to
demonstrating the benefits of its
products.
The company will have an interactive
display incorporating air guns similar
to those used for spray painting for
stand visitors to see the air tightness
advantages of the ISO BLOCO One
and test out its sealing qualities for
themselves.
ISO-BLOCO One foam sealing
tape - available with a 10 year
performance guarantee - enables
installers to easily seal windows
from inside the building, avoiding
the need to use time consuming and
costly external access systems like
scaffolding and ladders.
It offers a single ‘fit and forget’
solution for fast and effective sealing
based around the European RAL
principles of three level sealing - the
inside seal area is more airtight
than the external one, allowing any
trapped moisture inside the joint, or
within the wall, to escape outwards
rather than into the building.
Quick and easy-to-apply, the self
adhesive ISO-BLOCO One provides
a high performance seal for window
and door joints up to 30mm wide
and is impermeable to driving rain at
a minimum of 1,000 Pa - 66% higher
reliability than most conventional
joint sealing tapes.

Also featured on the stand will be a
sound reduction demonstration to
show how sealing tapes can vastly
reduce the noise that travels through
joints in the building construction
compared with other commonly
used materials, making life more
comfortable for occupants.
Peter Thompson, General Manager
UK for ISO-Chemie, said that in
addition to enabling first hand
practical product demonstrations,
Ecobuild continues to be an
important platform to showcase
sealing solutions for the sustainable
design, construction and built
environment.
“The message is ‘Why get stuck in
the past?’ when customers and endusers can do things better with latest
sealing technology from comapnies
like ISO-Chemie.
“We can prove how we can assist
the industry to meet energy saving
standards, without harming the
environment. We offer a number of
products that do exactly this, suitable
for renovation, new build, self build
and even Passivhaus.
“So if you are struggling for new
solutions to meet new standards, get
in contact to see how we can help.”
