This helps maintain the continuity of the waterproof layer where the membrane has been interrupted or where the detailing requires a more adaptable sealing material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(88, 88, 88);\"\u003ePermanently Flexible Butyl Compound For Watertight Protection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from a high quality butyl rubber compound and extruded as a continuous solid bead, Wykamol Sealing Rope combines strong water resistance with reliable adhesion, flexibility and long-term durability in damp environments. Butyl rubber is widely used in below-ground waterproofing because it remains tacky and permanently flexible, allowing it to bed into small surface irregularities and maintain close contact with the membrane, fixing plug, service penetration or surrounding substrate. When compressed, the butyl forms a watertight seal that helps prevent water, dampness and moisture tracking through membrane penetrations, plug holes and poorly sealed junctions, supporting the integrity of the wider cavity drain membrane system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(88, 88, 88);\"\u003eReliable Sealing Around Fixings, Joints And Service Penetrations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWykamol Sealing Rope has three main uses within waterproof membrane detailing: sealing membrane fixings, supporting difficult membrane joints and forming watertight details around penetrations.

It is a flexible butyl rubber sealing bead that can be cut, shaped, wrapped and compressed by hand, making it ideal for details that flat tapes cannot seal properly. Typical uses include plug heads, pipe penetrations, cable routes, protrusions, vaulted ceilings, sloping soffits and uneven membrane junctions. By sealing these vulnerable areas, Wykamol Sealing Rope helps maintain the continuity of the waterproof layer where the membrane has been cut, interrupted or shaped around difficult details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How does Wykamol Sealing Rope work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Wykamol Sealing Rope works by compressing the butyl bead into the detail being sealed. The rope remains permanently flexible and tacky, allowing it to bed into small irregularities in the membrane, substrate, fixing plug or service penetration. Once compressed, it forms a tight watertight seal that helps prevent water, dampness or moisture tracking through the gap. This compression is the key part of the installation, as the rope should not simply be placed loosely against the surface. It must be pressed firmly by the plug, membrane or detailing element so the butyl makes full contact and creates a reliable waterproof barrier around the vulnerable point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Where should Wykamol Sealing Rope be used?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Wykamol Sealing Rope should be used where a waterproof membrane detail needs a shaped, compressible seal rather than a flat tape. It is particularly useful around fixing plugs, pipes, cables, conduits, protrusions, irregular junctions, shaped membrane cuts, vaulted ceilings and sloping soffits. These are the areas where a flat membrane tape may struggle to sit properly, follow the shape or maintain full contact. It can also be used at overlapping membrane sections where neither a flange joint nor a stud-into-stud lap has been formed.

As the plug is fixed, the butyl compresses between the plug and the membrane, forming a watertight gasket around the fixing penetration. This helps reduce the risk of water tracking through the plug hole. It is especially useful for overhead fixings on vaulted ceilings, brick arches and sloping soffits, where a conventional sealing washer may not sit correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Is Wykamol Sealing Rope suitable for pipes and service penetrations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Wykamol Sealing Rope is very suitable for sealing around pipes, cables, conduits and other services passing through a waterproof membrane. Service penetrations are difficult details because the membrane has to be cut around a three-dimensional object, leaving a gap or irregular edge that flat tape may not seal fully. The rope can be shaped by hand, wrapped around the service and packed into the gap to help maintain the waterproof envelope. For best results, the membrane and service area should be clean and dry before application. The rope should then be firmly compressed so it beds tightly into the detail and creates a continuous seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What size is Wykamol Sealing Rope supplied in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Wykamol Sealing Rope is supplied as a 10mm diameter bead in 5m rolls. This solid bead format makes it practical for detailed membrane sealing because the installer can cut exactly the length needed for each plug, joint or penetration. A short length can be formed into a ring around a plug head, while a longer section can be pressed around a pipe, protrusion, non-standard joint or shaped membrane cut. The 10mm diameter provides enough butyl material to compress into small gaps and irregular areas, while still being manageable by hand. This helps reduce waste and gives good control when forming different types of waterproofing detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How is Wykamol Sealing Rope different from Wykamol Membrane Sealing Tape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Wykamol Sealing Rope and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/wykamol-membrane-sealing-tape-double-sided-butyl\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWykamol Membrane Sealing Tape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e are used for different sealing details within the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/collections\/wykamol-membrane\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWykamol Waterproof Membrane System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/wykamol-membrane-sealing-tape-double-sided-butyl\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWykamol Membrane Sealing Tape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e is used for flat, linear sheet-to-sheet joints such as membrane overlaps, flange joints and stud-into-stud laps.
