The Combiflex system consists of a hypalon tape that is anchored either side of the joint with Sikadur 31 epoxy adhesive. Combiflex is a high performance joint sealing system with excellent movement capability and outstanding chemical resistance. While polyurethane sealants will not resist the high chlorine level in swimming pool, Combiflex has excellent resistance to chlorine and a wide range of other chemicals. The newly refurbished Papatoetoe Centennial Pools boast Sika’s high performance Combiflex joint sealing system, expertly installed by Topcoat Specialist Coatings.
