Butyl Roofing Tape - The Sticky Stalwart
Whether you’re thinking sticky tape, tacky tape, sealing tape, roofing tape, bonding tape, black tape, rubber tape, cable tape, in demand over many years already, has proven itself to be the most versatile of sealants, with limitless applications in the roofing, construction, industrial, automotive and air-conditioning industries.
WHAT MAKES BUTYL SEAL SO INVALUABLE?
Butyl tape is a self-bonding, pliable, tacky and flexible adhesive sealing tape that adheres to all metals, glass, plastics, wood, marble, concrete and porous surfaces*. Butyl tape has unparalleled insulation properties and offers instant water-tight bonds for optimum sealing. Because it is chemically inert, Butyl tape will resist oxidation and will remain permanently elastic. It will remain resistant to cracking and will not degrade under Ultra-violet light. The unique qualities give Butyl tape an effective life of more then 20 years.
BUTYL TAPE IS
- Chemical and oxidation resistant
- Weather, temperature and age resistant
- Resistant to acids, alkalis and salts
- Resistant to mildew
- Non-porous
- non-toxic and non-hazardous
- Self-healing
- Paintable with conventional ways.
ADVANTAGES OF USING BUTYL ROOFING TAPE
Butyl tape is optimally used to seal all profiles of IBR and corrugated sheets, plastic,poly-carbonate and metal. The tape is applied to the leading edges of the sheet during operation, and the sheets are then fastened in the conventional way. the resulting roof pitch is far less then a standard roof, and this lower pitch means less material used.
- Butyl tape adheres to galvanized iron, play-carbonate, PVC and fiberglass.
- Butyl tape increases the structural strength of the roof by more than 40%.
- Butyl tape prevents a chemical reaction when two galvanized sheets touch each other.
- Butyl tape bonds the sheets together and lessens the risk of wind damage.
- Butyl tape waterproofs all roof screws.
- Butyl tape seals flashing’s as well as gaps optimally.
- Butyl tape reduces the chances of you returning to fix leaks, after a job has been completed.

BUTYL TAPE WILL
- Seal against moisture and rust
- Retain tack and adhesion
- Remain elastic from -20ºC to 120ºC
- Allow movement due to expansion and contraction
- Prevent moisture from passing through the seal (no fogging of glass or rusting of metal)
- Absorb vibrations
- Reduce sound by absorption
- Withstand high voltage
BUTYL TAPE WILL NOT
- Harden
- Crack nor lose adhesion when subjected to bending, elongation, expansion or contraction (even at low temperatures)
- Soften and flow out of the joint
- Break down, nor flow out of a joint, due to sound or wind vibrations.
- Degrade under UV
