Preservation, Sealing and Protective Tapes
Single-sided preservation, sealing, and protective specialty tapes are for those applications that require more durability, environmental resistance, and protection than temporary protective products. Unlike single sided foam tapes which seal when sandwiched between two substrates, these products perform their function as a thin outer layer along a seam, gap, edge or surface. When the application calls for long term outdoor stability to preserve, seal, and protect, and remove cleanly, these products will meet the need. They come with a variety of backings, in a variety of thicknesses, and come with rubber and acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives.
Applications include: Marine, oil and gas, and equipment preservation, leading edge protection, durable outdoor surface protection, sealing rough openings.
- Wide range of backing types to maximize performance
- One piece removability
- Conformable backing types
- Highly resistant to UV, abrasion and moisture
- Long term durability
- Excellent seam and gap sealing
