VAPROTAPE UV WHITE
Widths : 2” and 3”
Our new VaproTape UV White is UV stable and adheres to virtually all surfaces. It is moisture proof, helping create an air barrier when installed with our membranes. The UV stable backing combined with our advanced MicroSealant creates an ideal protection surface against UV degradation. VaproTape UV White remains flexible in temperatures as low as -70°F making it virtually impossible to cause thermal shock.

BASIC USE
VaproTape UV White is designed for use on buildings,
as a jointing tape and as a protective flashing layer
for all VaproShield’s membranes. VaproTape UV
White seals to itself so it can be cut and folded
around an object.
COMPOSITION
VaproTape UV White utilizes advanced MicroSealant
Technology; a 100 percent solids formulation of
synthetic resins, thermoplastics and non-curing
rubber (non-butyl) with a built-in primer. The
microsealant is then bonded to a mixed polymer
backing. The adhesive coating is protected by a
silicone release liner, which is removed prior to
application.
INSTALLATION
Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean and dry. Remove moisture,
dust, dirt, salt, contaminants and other foreign
matter. Remove oil and grease, etc. with a
non-residue cleaner such as acetone or lacquer
thinner.
Application
Tape can be applied to clean dry surfaces from
150°F to -20°F ambient.
For installations from 40°F to -20°F ambient treat
surface with VaproPrimer.
- To prevent contamination, gradually remove the release liner prior to application.
- Do not stretch tape during installation.
- Roll with hand pressure or a steel roller to activate
Technical Data bonding process.

VaproTape UV White is designed as a UV stable jointing
tape helping to create an air barrier when installed with
WrapShield (orange).
