tank liner except for “between slab” appli-
cations
• Do not apply over sealants containing tar. If
bitumen modified materials are encountered,
consult a Protecto Wrap representative for
guidance

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
See Tables 3 and 4.
5. Installation
STORAGE & HANDLING
Store all material inside in a dry space at tem-
peratures between 50 and 90 degrees F (10 and
32 degrees C). Do not store in direct sunlight. Do
not remove material from box until ready to use.
For cold weather applications, store Jiffy
Seal in a heated airspace at a temperature of
50 degrees F (10 degrees C) or higher for at
least 2 days prior to application. Remove only
the material that can be applied within 2 hours.
PREPARATORY WORK
Handle and store product according to man-
ufacturer’s recommendations.
Deliver materials in manufacturer’s original,
unopened, undamaged containers with identi-
fication labels intact. Store materials protected
from exposure to harmful environmental con-
ditions and at temperature and humidity con-
ditions recommended by the manufacturer.
Verify that site conditions are acceptable
for installation. Do not proceed with installation
until unacceptable conditions are corrected.
Surface Preparation
Prior to application, ensure that all surfaces
have, at a minimum, a smooth, steel-troweled
finish and are clean, free of sharp protrusions,
loose aggregate, dust, voids or spalled areas.
A broom finish is not permitted.
All exposed metal surfaces must be clean
and free of all paint, oil, coatings, rust or any
other contaminants. Wire brush and solvent
wipe all metal surfaces.
Repair all areas as needed before applying
Protecto Wrap primer.
CURING
Concrete must be cured a minimum of 28 days
for normal structural concrete and 14 days for
lightweight structural concrete.
Remove all forms as soon as possible to pre-
vent moisture entrapment. Grind uneven form
lines flush to the wall. Fill all tie holes.
Do not apply Jiffy Seal over frozen sub-
strates. For green concrete application, use
Jiffy Seal No. 80 Green Concrete Primer.
Consult Protecto Wrap Co. for green concrete
cure time recommendations.
Use form release agents that will not transfer
to the concrete or block walls. Concrete curing
compounds must be resin based and contain
no oil, wax or pigment. If Jiffy Seal membranes
are to be applied to a concrete or wood sur-
face where other curing compounds or wood
treatment is to be used, contact Protecto Wrap
for recommendations.
If additives have been placed in the con-
crete that could slow the dissipation of mois-
ture, contact Protecto Wrap Co. before instal-
lation of Jiffy Seal.
Masonry walls must not have struck joints.
Make sure all masonry joints on block and
brick walls are struck flush in order to provide
a smooth surface. On rough or porous sur-
faces, use a well-adhered mortar coat to pro-
vide a smooth surface.
Corners
For all inside horizontal corners, use cant strips
or fillets and Jiffy Seal 500. Wood or fiber cant
strips are not recommended.
After application of primer and Jiffy Seal
500, terminate the membrane a minimum of 3"
(76 mm) beyond the detail tape. The Jiffy Seal
must be applied flush to all angles of the inside
corner. If the design does not allow for a cant
strip at interior corners, consult Protecto Wrap
