Adheseal Hi-Flex 50 is a high-modulus MS polymer hybrid sealant for construction joints, prefabricated panels and fillets beneath selected waterproofing membranes. It combines ±25% joint movement with strong adhesion to many building materials, helping installers form flexible, neat joints without relying on a traditional polyurethane sealant.
Its particularly useful role is in waterproofing preparation. Hi-Flex 50 can be used as a fillet sealant or bond-breaker detail with compatible Everflex membrane systems, including selected Aqua-Ban, WPM, WPUV and SMP applications. System compatibility and the specified membrane detailing still govern the installation.
Common applications
-
Waterproofing details: forming compatible wall–floor junction fillets and bond-breaker details before membrane application.
-
Concrete and prefabricated panels: sealing movement and connection joints in compatible building elements.
-
Metal fabrication: sealing suitable seams and bolted lap joints between adjoining components.
-
Light-duty assembly: fixing compatible lightweight components such as acoustic ceiling tiles or display elements.
Hi-Flex 50, Hi-Flex 60 or Construction Plus?
Choose Hi-Flex 50 when sealing and membrane-detail compatibility are the main priorities. Hi-Flex 60 has a firmer, higher-modulus cured profile for demanding flexible bonding, while Hi-Flex Construction Plus is the softer, higher-movement option for exposed façade and window-perimeter joints.
Application considerations
Joints need sound, dry faces and the correct backing-rod depth; prevent three-sided adhesion. Hi-Flex 50 bonds to many common substrates without primer under suitable conditions, but critical joints, variable coatings and membrane interfaces still require appropriate preparation and compatibility testing.
Not suitable for continuous immersion, aquariums, structural glazing or mirror bonding. Avoid bitumen, EPDM, natural rubber and plasticiser-releasing surfaces, and stain-test sensitive natural stone.
