Overview

VaproTapes are designed to provide long term moisture protection especially in difficult environments. The unique sealant and film backing has been specially formulated to be resistant to:

UV rays
Thermal expansion and contraction
Ozone degradation
Impact and abrasion

UV/Humidity Testing

Testing included 4000 Hour QUV Weather-O-Meter Test with UV Light, UVA 340 in the presence of humidity.

Results

The results show that tensile yields and tensile at break are increasing in value over time, with an average elongation percent loss of only 2.8% (-11.3% over 4000 hours UV). The Q-Panel Lab product experts call 2000 hours of UV testing the equivalent of approximately two actual years of full sun exposure. Therefore, the 4000 hours of UV testing could be seen to represent four years or more of actual UV exposure. Extrapolating those results of the 2.8% elongation loss leads to an outdoor life projection of 18-35 years, depending on variables such as geographic location, traffic, environmental conditions, etc.

HEAT Stability

Whether the VaproTape with a tough, specially formulated multi-polymer alloy film backing, or the woven fabric backing properly coated with a quality coating; all VaproTapes have a long service life over a wide range of temperatures.

VaproTapes are designed to operate indefinitely at service temperatures that fluctuate from -70°F to in excess of 150°F and beyond without a loss of physical strength.
