Priming
For floors, interior applications, Ceramic Tile, Porcelain Tile, Marble or Stone, engineered wood, hardwood floors.
Priming:Stir or shake PROFLEX®Primer thoroughly.Apply primer with a long nap roller,brush,or spray application.Apply evenly
at 300-400 sq.ft.per gallon,with 100%surface coverage.The PROFLEX®Primer has dried satisfactorily when the surface is tacky,
but does not transfer when touched.(Note:The primer does not serve as an adhesive,over-application of the product will increase
drying times and may compromise the overall bondability of PROFLEX® membranes to the substrate)
Membrane Application
If PROFLEX®is to be used as a vapor barrier,apply Rubber Seam Tape (PROFLEX®RST)beneath all seams,after the surface
has been primed.The 4”rubber seam tape should be centered under every seam.The RST will need to be pre-positioned and
installed prior to the installation of the PROFLEX®membrane.Place PROFLEX®Membrane with release paper still attached over
the area to be treated.Unroll the membrane and cut leaving a 2”-3”excess at one end.PROFLEX®Hydra-Seal may be used in lieu
of the RST at seams for waterproofing applications.Hydra-Seal and mesh may also be used with the membranes for flashing up the
sides of the walls to the top of the membrane.
Method 1:Fold membrane lengthwise.Peel ½of the release paper from the leading edge of the membrane and slowly pull the
release paper toward you,exposing the tacky surface of the membrane and carefully attaching the membrane onto the primed
surface, avoiding wrinkles and bubbles.
Method 2:Roll up ½of the membrane,leaving the other half unrolled.Cut the release paper from the portion of the membrane and
slowly pull the release paper toward you,exposing the tacky surface of the membrane and carefully attaching the membrane onto
the primed surface, avoiding wrinkles and bubbles. Repeat the procedure with the unrolled portion of the membrane.
Additional Instructions on membrane application
For full coverage application,carefully butt edges (overlapping will cause the floor to become uneven,but not affect performance).
Immediately after installation press membrane into place working out from the center of the membrane by applying heavy pressure
with the flat side of the trowel,or use a 75-100#roller.Protect exposed membrane and companion products from dirt,traffic,and
harmful elements until flooring is installed, grouted, and cured.
Setting Materials
All mortars and thin-sets must meet or exceed ANSI 118.11.Urethane Wood adhesives may be used for wood installations,consult
manufacturer for product suitability and approval for use with PROFLEX®elastomeric membranes Consult selected mortar or
thinset manufacturer for product suitability and approval for use with PROFLEX®elastomeric membranes Use appropriate notched

Installation of Proflex Membranes:
For floors, interior applications, Ceramic Tile, Porcelain Tile, Marble or Stone, engineered wood, hardwood floors.
Priming: Stir or shake ProflexTM Primer thoroughly. Apply primer with a long nap roller, brush, or spray application. Apply evenly at 300-
400sq.ft. per gallon, with 100% surface coverage. The Proflex TM Primer has dried satisfactorily (20min – 45min) when the surface is tacky,
but does not transfer when touched. (Note: The primer does not serve as and adhesive, over-application of the product will increase dry-
ing times and may compromise the overall bondability of ProflexTM membranes to the substrate)
Membrane Application:If Proflex is to be used as a vapor barrier, apply Rubber Seam Tape ( Proflex TM RST) beneath all seams, after the
surface has been primed. The 4” rubber seam tape should be centered under every seam. The RST will need to be pre -positioned and
installed prior to the installation of the Proflex membrane. Place Proflex TM Membrane with release paper still attached over the area to be
treated. Unroll the membrane and cut leaving a 2”-3” excess at one end.
Method 1: Fold membrane lengthwise. Peel ½ of the release paper from the leading edge of the membrane and slowly pull the release
paper toward you, exposing the tacky surface of the membrane and carefully attaching the membrane onto the primed surface, avoiding
wrinkles and bubbles.
Method 2: Roll up ½ of the membrane, leaving the other half unrolled. Cut the release paper from the portion of the membrane and slowly
pull the release paper toward you, exposing the tacky surface of the membrane and carefully attaching the membrane onto the primed
surface, avoiding wrinkles and bubbles. Repeat the procedure with the unrolled portion of the membrane.
Additional Instructions on membrane application: For full coverage application, carefully butt edges (overlapping will cause the floor to
become uneven, but not affect performance). Immediately after installation, apply firm pressure to insure good contact with the surface.
Work from the center of membrane to the edges. Bubbles and wrinkles should be slit with a razor type blade and flattened smooth. Protect
exposed membrane and companion products from dirt, traffic, and harmful elements until flooring is installed, grouted, and cured.

Reference: Unmarked Proflex membranes
To whom it may concern,
Due to raw material shortages and the rising demand for Proflex peel and stick membranes, Proflex
has ordered unmarked fabric facer and unmarked boxes until we receive our printed fabric and
boxes. This was due to our suppliers being unable to keep up with our demand. They have assured
us that this is a temporary issue, and we should be back to all printed materials within the next couple
of weeks. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
