Butyl Tape

Butyl Tape is chemically inert, therefore it will resist oxidation, and will remain permanently elastic, resistant to cracking, and will not degrade under Ultra-violet light. (Butyl tape was tested for over 9000 hours in a U.V cabinet without degradation).

It will not:
 

• Harden.
   

• Crack or nor lose adhesion when subjected to bending, elongation, expansion or contraction. (Even at low temperatures).
   

• Soften and flow out of the joint.
   

• Lose adhesion.
   

• Break-down nor flow out of a joint, due to sound or wind vibration.

It will:

• Adhere to metal, glass, porcelain, concrete, plastic, polycarbonate, wood, and marble.

• Retain Tack and adhesion.

• Remain elastic from -20^o C to 120⁰ C.

• Allow movement due to expansion and contraction.

• Resist moisture vapour transmissions. (Prevents moisture from passing through the seal.) No fogging of glass or rusting of metal.

• Absorb vibrations and sound.

• Reduce sound by absorption.

It is:

• Self Healing.

• Chemical, weather and age resistant.

• Resistant to acids, alkali’s and salts.

• Resistant to mildew.

It has:

• An effective life of 20 years.

• A high heat resistance of up to 160⁰ C.

• A low temperature resistance of -40⁰C.

It can:

Be painted with conventional systems if required.
