About Proclad150

PROCLAD150™ is the premium multi-layered laminate system, which provides a weatherproof cladding and jacketing system to insulated duct and pipe systems. The 6-ply laminate has a zero-perm rating to prevent moisture ingress and with increased strength and UV resistance, PROCLAD150™ provides a market leading solution. The technically advanced adhesive being solvent free for safe environmentally conscious use, is capable of being applied in wet/humid conditions at extremes of temperatures (-30˚C to +130˚C).

Application

When applying PROCLAD150™ ensure that the correct pressure is applied using the plastic applicator (provided) as the adhesive is a PSA and requires a firm application to provide a full surface bond. When placing the cut piece of PROCLAD150™ in to position, partially peel back the liner to allow correct positioning and then rub down, continue to peel back the liner whilst pressing in to place using the hand to prevent creasing, once the full piece has been applied use the plastic applicator and rub the complete surface to ensure the full adhesive bond required. Continue to apply PROCLAD150™ ensuring that a minimum 75mm overlap is observed to the previous piece to ensure a strong weatherproof seal. 

Application to Ductwork 

Rectangular Ducting 

It’s best practice to provide a watershed to rectangular ducting especially over 700mm (27 inch) wide to help prevent water ponding. When installing PROCLAD™150 to rectangular ducting then it’s recommended that the underneath is applied first allowing for a 75mm (3 inch) overlap to the sides, then the sides are applied providing a 75mm to the underside and top before finally installing the top with an overlap on to the sides by 75mm. 

The overlap on to each sides even to sides already covered with PROCLAD™150 provides the best, strong weatherproof seal rather than trimming the edges. This method an essential part of the warranty requirements. 

For ducting that include reducers, it’s best practice to ensure that the overlap of the PROCLAD™150 runs down on to the lower surface to provide the best watershed overlap rather than having the joint on the upward slope. 

Circular Ducting 

Cut the piece to the required length plus an extra 75mm for the overlap, place the cut piece of PROCLAD™150 in to position, partially peel back the liner to allow correct positioning and then rub down, continue to peel back the liner whilst pressing in to place using the hand to prevent creasing, once the full piece has been applied use  the plastic applicator and rub the complete surface to ensure the full adhesive bond required. 

Continue to apply PROCLAD™150 ensuring that a minimum 75mm overlap is observed to the previous piece to 

ensure a strong, weatherproof seal. 

Circular Ducting 

The PROCLAD™150 although is mechanically strong and flexible which helps prevent damage, there are environments that may require extra protection such as areas of high foot traffic and areas that could see potential damage from birds such as seagulls, crows etc. In these areas of concern please contact your local  ProTech Global Ltd representative for advice in providing a solution.
