Description

EIFS Tape is a self-adhering, air and moisture barrier transition membrane used in conjunction with our Water Restrictive Barriers (WRB); Blue Shield, Green Guard, Flexcrete, Mastic 100 and EctoFlex, to bridge inter-face gaps and to create continuity in the water penetration barrier within a wall assembly clad with one of our Durex EIFS Systems. EIFS Tape is a 30 mils thick SBS modified rubberized asphalt membrane with a polyester top surface. The polyester surface enhances the adhesion when V.C.A 3.0, Flexcrete or Monobase Insulation Adhesive is applied directly to this surface. The EIFS Tape can be applied over gypsum board, wood, metal, polystyrene and polyethylene surfaces to form an air and vapor barrier in the EIFS System. EIFS Tape is self-sealing when penetrated with mechanical fasteners. EIFS Tape should be used to seal window and door openings, joints in dissimilar substrates and wherever water infiltration may be a concern.

Advantages
  • SBS modified rubberized asphalt membrane with a polyester top surface.
  • Ability to bond Adhesives and Water Restive Barriers (WRB) ontop of product once applied to base substrate.
  • Available in 12", 6" and 4" rolls.
  • Seal window and door openings, joints in dissimilar substrates and wherever water infiltration may be a concern.
Uses

An integral component of cavity wall and EIFS wall design, EIFS Tape is designed to collect and direct any water within the cavity to the exterior of the building enclosure. Fully bonded to the exterior face of the substrate the EIFS Tape prevents accumulated cavity water from seeping back into the structure. Installation of EIFS Tape should be considered at the base of all cavity walls clad with brick, EIFS, pre-finished metal and siding. Furthermore, it should be applied at all inter-face gaps located throughout a wall assembly, such as window and door openings, expansion joints, dissimilar substrates, metal flashing, through-wall penetrations and wherever water infiltration is possible. EIFS Tape is suitable for use in a variety of building assemblies and combination with most common construction materials, including; concrete, masonry, metal, wood and gypsum sheathing.
