Description
Foilband is a synthetic rubber-based preformed strip sealant laminated with a fixed foil backing. The exposed side adhesive is specifically designed for adhesion to PVC-U and other low surface energy sash and frame materials and the liner adhesive is specifically designed for adhesion to glass. These surface-specific adhesives provide optimum performance, weather resistance and longevity.
Features and benefits:
- Good adhesion to a wide range of substrates.
- Remains tacky even at low temperatures.
- Resistant to flow at high temperatures.
- Remains flexible throughout its service life.
- The product is highly conformable.
- Good ultraviolet (UV) resistance.
- The foil has excellent tear and puncture resistance.
- Easy and accurate to use with little waste and no mess.
