Introduction

Roof Cap / Roof Tape

Roof Cap and Roof Tape is a flexible polyester fabric / aluminum backing laminated to and adhesive sealant.

The Roof cap and Roof tape are a unique but proven method of sealing fasteners, and small holes on metal roofs.

Owing to their ease of application, conformability and effective water tightness, Roof Cap / Roof Tape can replace the burdensome and expensive task of sealing metal roof fasteners with traditional mastics.

Roof Tapes are ideally suited for sealing edges, seams and flashings on metal roof panels.

  Uses
  • As a seam sealer on metal roofs
  • As a flashing material around roof penetrations
  • As a seam sealer for metal copings, flashings and accessories
  • As a sealer for screw heads on metal roofs

  Advantages
  • Adheres instantly and is ready to coat
  • Excellent low temperature flexibility and adhesion
  • Remains flexible
  • Instant Waterproofing
  • Superior Adhesion
  • Long-term Durability

  Preparation
Surfaces must be dry and free of dust, loosely adhering particles, oil or grease.
  Application
1oz bottle Peel off the release liner. Take care to apply the tape accurately the first time as trying to remove and reapply may damage the tape and the roof surface.  Press down firmly starting at the center and working towards the outside edge, removing bubbles. Edges must have no openings or fish mouths. Once the tape is firmly and correctly in place, the product is ready for over coating.
  Precautions
Overcoat with suitable waterproofing coating within 7 days of application as prolonged exposure to ultra violet light will deteriorate the fabric backing. Roof cap / tapes with aluminum backing may not be coated. Do not stretch during application
