Performance characteristics described in the listing
The surface is described as a fluorocarbon film (white PVDF seam membrane). The fluorocarbon film is described with up to 20 years of anti-aging performance and as providing durability, tear resistance, and temperature stability through strong F-C bonds, resisting cracking in cold or melting in heat. The white PVDF seam membrane is also described as reflecting UV rays to reduce surface temperature.
This insulation sealer tape is described as offering great corrosion resistance, optimal thickness, flame retardancy, and puncture resistance. The waterproofing tape is described as featuring a double waterproof design with a dual-layer structure: the upper PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) membrane is described as creating a strong flashing moisture barrier, while the bottom bitumen layer is described as penetrating deeply into the substrate to completely seal and bond.
It is described as self-healing for minor damage repair. The exceptional elasticity of the SBS modified rubber asphalt is described as ensuring a watertight seal even when the substrate experiences thermal expansion and contraction. The PVDF surface is described as having superior hydrophobic properties compared to other materials, with stain resistance and water roll-off in raining weather, and it is described as ideal for outdoor use.
For quick access to the product reference, use this weatherproof sealing membrane.
