Insulation of the tank’s roof<br />

K-<strong>FLEX</strong> <strong>IC</strong> <strong>CLAD</strong> - LARGE TANKS<br />

Insulation with K-<strong>FLEX</strong> elastomeric sheet<br />

• For the finishing to apply onto the roof of the tank, use sheets of 1 m<br />

(corresponding to that of the finishing sheet) placed ina way to cover<br />

the entire surface.<br />

• With careful planning (it is advisable to prepare a diagram to<br />

calcolate the correct dimensions of the project) the elastomeric<br />

sheets can be placed in a functional manner.<br />

The laying of the sheets will in fact be useful as a guide during the<br />

application of the sheets, making the next phase easier.<br />

• Place the K-<strong>FLEX</strong> elastomeric sheets starting from the outer sheet<br />

(a)towards the center.The rounded edges of the outer sections will<br />

follow the curvature of the tank.<br />

• Place the sheets after having cleaned the surface of the tank of traces<br />

of dirt, oil and grease so as not to jeopardize adhesion.<br />

• The surface where the sheets come into contact with the tank<br />

should be glued with K 420 adhesive.<br />

With the same adhesive glue together the edges of the adjacent<br />

sheets.<br />

Exert the correct amount of pressure on the edges, avoiding tension<br />

and destortions, to allow for correct adhesion and to add to its<br />

aesthetic value.<br />

• To avoid detachments and infiltrations, the insulation of the tank’s<br />

walls together with the perimetrical joints must be carefully sealed.<br />

The insulation of the roof must overlap the perimetrical insulation.<br />
