Mounting Accessories: Primer and Roller
A tape bonds only as well as the surface is prepared. This section holds both tools that make that happen.
Alenor Super-Fix primer consolidates porous surfaces (concrete, brick, timber, plaster) and creates an even layer the tape can fully bond to. Without primer, tape on these substrates often lifts within the first month.
The pressure roller applies even pressure across the full tape width — butyl and acrylic adhesives are activated by pressure, not by time. Without a roller the bond stays incomplete, especially at the edges where water gets in first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a pressure roller needed when installing tape?
The roller ensures even, firm pressure along the tape's full length, eliminating air bubbles and weak spots that could later become entry points for moisture.
When should I use Super Fix primer before applying tape?
Super Fix is recommended on porous, dusty, or uneven surfaces (concrete, plaster, brick) to significantly improve tape adhesion and extend its service life.
Are mounting accessories mandatory, or can I skip them?
Technically the tape can be applied without extra accessories, but skipping proper pressure application and (where needed) a primer greatly increases the risk that the tape will peel or lose its seal over time.
