Guerlain sealing tape: features and benefits

A modern adhesive tape sealant has recently appeared on the building materials market. The Guerlain sealing tape is a special type of building material, created using a special technology and widely demanded in construction and other fields. The product has technological features and undoubted advantages over other means.

The domestic manufacturing company "Filikrovlya" produces high-quality tape sealant, which is a roll insulating material with a number of advantages that allow it to be used in repair and construction in cases where the usual means in the form of a paste or gel are not suitable for work. With it, you can carry out high-quality insulation of joints located in hard-to-reach areas of any design.

The product contains a universal sealant based on synthetic rubber that is not subject to solidification, as well as fillers, plasticizers and special additives that give the tape all the necessary performance characteristics.

It is enough to list the remarkable properties of this material to understand how unique it is:

• the sealing product has excellent adhesion to most work surfaces such as wood, metal, stone, concrete, glass, brick;
• roll material is easy to transport and use - for this, the protective paper layer is simply removed and you can start working;

• the tape is easy to cut, has different widths (from 50 to 280 mm) and thicknesses (from 1.5 to 3 mm), so it is always possible to choose the optimal size for specific purposes;
• the sealant is highly durable and elastic, which makes it easy to install;
• the product has an optimal level of water absorption (0.2%), has steam and waterproofing properties;
• in combination with different bases, it can effectively provide vibration and noise isolation, as well as insulate objects and rooms.

Depending on the application, double-sided tape can be used, as well as versions with one-sided adhesion and foil or polyester fabric.

Different types of products differ in the presence and type of certain layers, and, accordingly, in different areas of application.

Let's list the main brands of the product.

• Category "D" - tape based on butyl and rubber with one-sided adhesion, the second side has a canvas coating, which can be coated with a water-based emulsion or putty of the desired color. In addition to being used in the automotive and aircraft industries, it is used for various types of repair of roofing structures of the roof, window protection, sealing construction joints, waterproofing works. Performs two tasks at once - sealing and thermal insulation.

• Brand "T" features a double-sided sticky coating. The area of ​​application is the sealing of roofing coverings, including bituminous ones. It provides maximum water resistance, therefore it is used to ensure the reliability of the connection of water supply facilities.
• The brand "AG" was made in the same way., which is used in the insulation of internal mounting fasteners and construction joints of the external walls of the facade, fixed to the load-bearing layer of the wall.

• FA series - tape with a protective layer of foil-clad aluminum, designed to protect the joints of pitched roofs, the problem of which is frequent leaks. The sealant can insulate the seams of glass, concrete bases, the joints of the chimney abutments.
• Protective sealant against the penetration of steam and condensate brand "OSP" differs in the presence of an adhesive and a canvas layer on both sides of the product. It is glued to foam, can be used to protect window thermal insulation from moisture and water vapor.
• Windproof material "OSV" has maximum vapor permeability, is used in a narrow range in the external vapor barrier of window joints, fits under the lower part of the window block, providing internal dryness.

Due to their high wear resistance and strength, all materials have a long service life (more than 20 years) and are safe, and do not emit harmful vapors into the environment.

Correct adhesion will ensure durability and maximum tightness of the seams. To do this, it is necessary that the surface of the coating be cleaned of dirt, small debris and completely dry.

The sealant is cut with scissors or a construction knife and carefully glued to the desired area. Only then is the protective film or paper removed. The following material can be placed on top of the tape.

In addition, the sealant, which is an ideal barrier against moisture and air, despite its indisputable quality, has a low price compared to analogues in the form of mastics, gels and pastes. These nuances are the main reason why many people prefer the Guerlain tape.
