Shell Tixophalte Wet

Shell Tixophalte Wet is a professional bituminous adhesive and sealing compound with permanent flexibility for permanent adhesion, even under humid conditions.

Shell Tixophalte Wet is a plasto-elastic (thixotropic), neutrally curing adhesive/sealant based on a high-quality bitumen/rubber mixture, additives, fillers, and a non-toxic and non-chlorinated solvent.
The temperature resistance of Shell Tixophalte Wet ranges from -35°C to +90°C. The product has high flow resistance and high adhesion to the most common substrates (brick, concrete, PVC, PP, PE, PUR, EPS, metal, glass, asphalt, roofing), even when applied underwater. Furthermore, Shell Tixophalte Wet has good UV stability and even protects against rust and moisture.

Recommendations:
Application temperature:
The Shell Tixophalte Wet is ready for use and immediately cold applicable between +5°C and +40°C. At low temperatures, we recommend preheating the product (e.g. in warm water).
Substrate:
The substrate should preferably be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease/oil. Shell Tixophalte Wet can be applied between +5°C and +40°C. For special applications and/or moist substrates, conduct an adhesion test beforehand and/or apply a suitable primer. For highly porous (concrete) substrates, it is recommended to use a bituminous primer.
