FLOOD KEEP-OUT FLOOD KEEP-OUT INCORPORATES A DOUBLE PROTECTION SYSTEM AGAINST WATER ENTRY. FIRST, THE BENTONITE ROLLS FILL ALL THE CRACKS AND ROUGH AREAS. IT WILL SEAL EVEN AGAINST BRICK, CONCRETE OR ROUGH PAVEMENT. THEN THE SEALING TAPE GOES OVER THE BENTONITE TO PROVIDE A SECOND SEALING LAYER AND WITHSTAND WAVE ACTION AND HEAVY WINDS AND RAIN.
THE FKO-50 CONTAINS 50 LINEAL FEET OF BENTONITE IN ROLLS AND 50 FEET OF SEALING TAPE, ALL IN A 5-GALLON PAIL.
A TYPICAL LOADING DOOR IS ABOUT 12 FT WIDE, SO IT WOULD REQUIRE 12 FT PLUS 3 FT UP EACH SIDE, OR 18 LINEAL FT TO SEAL OFF THE DOOR.
FLOOD WATER TEST THE LOADING DOOR WAS SEALED WITH FLOOD KEEP-OUT, THEN FLOOD WATER WAS FILLED UP AGAINST THE DOOR. A HOSE NOZZLE WAS ALSO USED TO SIMULATE HEAY RAIN. NO LEAKAGE INTO THE BUILDING OCCURRED.
APPLICATION UNWRAP THE BENTONITE ROLLS AND TAKE A PIECE AND PRESS INTO THE AREA BETWEEN THE PAVEMENT OR WALL AND THE DOOR.
APPLY THE TAPE OVER THE BENTONITE SEAL.
AFTER THE FLOOD WATER HAS RECEDED, PEEL OFF THE TAPE AND USE A PLASTIC SPATULA TO REMOVE THE BENTONITE.
FLOOD KEEP-OUT CAN BE APPLIED AND WILL SEAL EVEN ON WET SURFACES.
