Applications & Uses

Application Instructions

Surface preparation

• All surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from frost, grease, and loose materials.
• When cleaning contaminated substrates, HS Butyl recommends using propan-2-ol (IPA) and allowing it to dry before applying the butyl tape.

Application

• Apply directly from the reel onto one surface and press along its entire length to ensure good initial adhesion.
• Remove the backing paper, position the other surface onto the butyl tape, and push firmly to seal across the joint.

Product Application

• For use as a gap-filling sealant in body-in-white applications on vehicles.
• For sealing a variety of joints in roofing and cladding systems.
• For sealing joints in more aggressive environments, such as slurry tanks.
