Application

Suitable:

  • For use as flashing tape, for example in conservatory construction.
  • For over-sealing or repair of joints in gutters and downpipes.
  • For sealing over T-bars in glazing and conservatories.
  • For temporary remedial work such as sealing of leaking components.

Description

Foilband is a synthetic rubber-based preformed strip sealant laminated with a fixed foil backing. The exposed side adhesive is specifically designed for adhesion to PVC-U and other low surface energy sash and frame materials and the liner adhesive is specifically designed for adhesion to glass. These surface-specific adhesives provide optimum performance, weather resistance and longevity.


Features and benefits:

  • Good adhesion to a wide range of substrates.
  • Remains tacky even at low temperatures.
  • Resistant to flow at high temperatures.
  • Remains flexible throughout its service life.
  • The product is highly conformable.
  • Good ultraviolet (UV) resistance.
  • The foil has excellent tear and puncture resistance.
  • Easy and accurate to use with little waste and no mess.


Approvals:

  • BS 8000-7.
  • Glass and Glazing Federation Manual Section 4.2 Ref IG7.
  • BS 6375-1 Weathertightness UK exposure category.
  • BS 7950 Specification for enhanced security performance of casement and tilt/turn windows for domestic applications (annex A5 glazing removal test).
