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.
