Butyl tape is a type of adhesive sealing tape made from butyl rubber, a synthetic rubber known for its durability, flexibility, and strong sealing properties. It’s commonly used for waterproofing and sealing joints, seams, and surfaces.
Key Features of Butyl Tape:
-
Waterproof and airtight
-
Highly adhesive to metal, glass, plastic, wood, and concrete
-
Flexible and conforms to irregular surfaces
-
Resistant to weather, UV, and chemicals
-
Non-hardening, so it stays pliable over time
