DPM jointing tape is a self-adhesive tape used for waterproofing and sealing joints in DPM membranes. It can also be used to seal around pipes, cables, and other fixtures.
The acrylic adhesive on DPM jointing tape also ensures an excellent grip while providing superior flexibility in comparison with more rigid mastic asphalt products – making it easier to install without sacrificing performance in any way. In addition, the tape is flexible and durable while being easy to use and quick to apply.
DPM jointing tape is made from a high-quality PVC material that is resistant to water and weathering. The tape is durable and long-lasting, making it the perfect choice for sealing joints in DPM membranes. It can also be used to seal around pipes, cables, and other fixtures.
DPM jointing tape is designed for use on DPM liquid-applied membranes used in all types of new construction applications. It is extremely versatile and can be used anywhere that liquid-applied membrane has been used before, including below-ground areas like cellars or basements. The tape acts as a sealant that fills small gaps and crevices and provides a waterproof barrier that protects against water damage.
In addition to being practical from an aesthetic standpoint, the tapes are also completely waterproof. Only until now has there been no reliable way to provide a watertight seal along joints in DPM membranes without using mastic asphalt or bitumen products, which have proven over time to be less than ideal.
In comparison, DPM jointing tape has been shown to provide more pronounced waterproof barriers. It is far easier to fix should the need ever arise without affecting the integrity of your membrane system. The use of bitumen or mastic asphalt materials can reduce the lifespan of membranes by up to 40% due to their exposure to sunlight over time, causing them to dry out, become brittle, crack, and wear away at a faster rate.
DPM jointing tape offers all the benefits of other types of sealing products like tapes, caulk, or mastics. Still, it also protects against water damage that is much greater than what these traditional products can offer. It makes it perfect for use in areas where there is a risk of water ingress, such as wet basements or underground water storage tanks.
Using DPM jointing tape is also a cost-effective solution to the problem of ensuring waterproof membranes on both new and existing buildings. In areas where water damage has already occurred, you have the choice of completely removing old mastic asphalt materials from your membrane system before reapplying new liquid-applied membranes with mastic asphalt materials again. Simply use DPM jointing tape instead, which will provide a more modern, long-lasting solution while providing many additional benefits, including better aesthetics.
To summarize, DPM jointing tape provides the perfect waterproof seal for your liquid-applied membrane while being easy to use. It can cut costs by eliminating the need to rely on traditional sealing products like mastic asphalt. It is the best solution to ensure the long-term protection of membrane systems against water damage.
