EMSEAL 3/8" - 1-1/2" Self Expanding Multi Foam Weatherstripping Tape

Multi-Use Expanding Foam Tape

• Multi-use sealant tape is a preformed expandingtape seal made of a resilient cellular foam infused with a hydrophobic/hydrophilic, modified-acrylic, liquid adhesive sealant which is then compressed to a sealing density level appropriate to the application
• The result is a hybrid sealant that features thebest characteristics of foam and liquid sealants while eliminating their respective weaknesses
• Odourless, clean handling, UV stable, non-staining, and highly versatile - Compresses uniformly without overspill toprovide a lasting seal
• Typically, higher compression levels arerequired for watertightness in standing water or water run-off applications; lower compression can be used for snow seals at roof ridges
• Replaces and outperforms liquid and butyl-tapesealants as well as closed cell and unimpregnated open-cell foam closures
• Packaged precompressed in rolls
• The material contains a pressure sensitivemounting-adhesive on one face to facilitate installation
• Used to seal out dust, air, wind-driven snow,and moisture from joint details in metal buildings and roofs
• Ideal as a filler in expansion/compression jointssubject to movement from thermal expansion and contraction, and as a gasket in mechanically fastened, non-moving applications
• Can be used against metal, plastic, wood,concrete, and other common building materials
• Resistant to bugs and vermin
• Will not extrude from between joints like caulk orbutyl tapes
• Conforms to contours and fills gaps
• Maintains a seal during thermal expansion andcontraction of building panels
• Good thermal and sound insulator
• No shrinkage or blow-out due to closed-cellbreakage
• Will not adhere to components that are dirty ordust covered or to surfaces coated with oils or other release agents
• Will expand to follow and fill irregular substrateswithin reason
• Sharp corners and acute angles may need to befilled with additional filler pieces in order to ensure a proper seal
• Substrate must be capable of resisting, withoutdeflection, approximately 1.5 to 2.5 lb/in2 (10 to 17 kPa) back pressure from the tape
• Roll size: 1" x 12' (25mm x 3.6m)
• Expansion range: 3/8" to 1-1/2" (10 to 40mm)
