Comprising of a tacky non-bitumenous adhesive, bonded to a special tear free UV resistant film, Foilband offers a stain-free, long life seal when used with Polycarbonate, as well as offering many benefits to the installer.
Foilband is very safe to use it adheres well at low temperatures and so warming up with a blow torch is not needed.
Foilband is quick to use no primer is needed on most surfaces reducing the application time compared to bitumen based flashings.
Foilband is more aesthetically pleasing in many applications being available with white adhesive as well as black.
The combination of Foilband's special film and the flexibility of the butyl adhesive means that it can easily be formed around various joint shapes and is therefore able to be used effectively for sealing of T-bars in glazing with either glass or polycarbonate, for sealing joints in metal clad industrial and sectional buildings, glass roofs, caravans, and greenhouses, and also for repairing or replacing old lead flashing which has decayed or cracked.
