50400 Tuck Tape EvoSeam for Insulation Boards
Intertape Polymer Inc.
07 26 00 Vapor Retarders
Sealing joints of insulation boards requires a specially formulated tape that has both a strong adhesive and is flexible enough to withstand the expansion/contraction of the insulation material that happens during extreme temperature changes. Tuck Tape® EvoSeam™ Premium Seaming Tape is the best choice for sealing seams of exterior insulation boards. This tape is made of a multi-layer ultraviolet (UV) protected polyethylene film coated with a permanent bond adhesive.
MAIN FEATURES
- High shear adhesive provides excellent initial tack to surfaces.
- Will adhere to all major brands of insulation boards and air barriers.
- Strong and durable holding power.
- Film is flexible and can adapt to material expansion/contraction.
- Seals around fasteners and nails.
- Water and moisture resistant.
- Prevents air infiltration.
- Excellent resistance to UV.
