Properties:

AQUAFIN Butyl self-sealing tapes are composed of highly adhesive micro-sealant non-curing rubber with a built-in-primer. These tapes were developed to quickly seal surfaces and stop the intrusion of moisture. The reinforced film tapes are self-protecting making them a true “One-Step” sealant product that’s available in Nonwoven fleece and EPDM backing. The Non-woven Fleece only film readily accepts solvent or acrylic based coatings and paints. The Fleece tape is ideal for use with metal roofing or single-ply roof applications as a seam and detail waterproofing fabric that bonds firmly to the surface. Double-Sided tape is great for sealing between metal-to-metal surfaces and to bond between seams of single-ply roof membranes. Also use in creating seals for border sealing of mechanical equipment. Offers a high degree of vibration dampening. May also be molded to shape for custom sealing. The highly adhesive bond of Aquafin Butyl Tape stays flexible in a wide range of temperatures for service use in all climates.

Areas of Application:

After surface has been properly prepared, cut desired length of AQUAFIN Butyl Tape. Remove silicone release liner and position over desired area. Apply the tape directly to the area exactly the first time. Trying to remove may damage the tape and roofing surface. Press down firmly with a cloth pad, finger pressure or roller making sure tape stays conforming to the root surface as you smooth out on to the surface. Edges should be free of opening at seams and wrinkling. AQUAFIN Non-woven fleece Butyl Tape should be coated over immediately. AQUAFIN Butyl Tape Double-Sided is not meant to be exposed directly to the environment.

Product Application:
