Made with a specialized high-temperature tempering process, butyl tape is thoroughly airtight and watertight to endure the harshest of weather conditions - from heavy rains to frigid winters, and its UV resistance helps to withstand direct sunlight with minimal damage.
2. Durability Red insulation tape is designed to withstand high temperatures and resist various environmental factors. This durability ensures that it can maintain its insulating properties over time, even in challenging conditions.
Polyethylene Rubber Tape is composed of a polyethylene backing material with a rubber-based adhesive. Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion. The rubber adhesive provides strong adhesion to different surfaces.
The application process of Flex Tape is straightforward, adding to its appeal. To use, simply cut the desired length, peel off the backing, and press it firmly onto the surface needing repair.

This ease of use makes it accessible for individuals without extensive DIY experience while still appealing to seasoned professionals.
The benefits of butyl rubber rolls extend beyond their physical properties. Their long lifespan and low maintenance requirements make them a cost-effective solution for various industries. By reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs, businesses can allocate resources more efficiently.
In a typical tape splice, you’ll tug and pull out the tape, stretching it to just before the breaking point. The tape’s width narrows to about 1/3rd of its original size. The tape’s length increases; your hand travels very quickly up to 20” away from where you started. Quite often you’ll be wrapping in a tight location making this even more difficult. Proper taping techniques are critical to realizing the many performance benefits of rubber tape.
