Supplied in a Roll - Quick, clean and accurate to install Butyl with a constant coating thickness.Butyl will fuse with nearly any stable solid surface including many low surface energy materials e.g. Forms an Immediate Bond - No curing time and no solvent evaporation.Butyl will not crack and has a virtually unlimited storage life. Allows movement due to expansion/contraction. A Non-hardening Mastic - Butyl forms a soft resilient compression seal.Pressure Sensitive Adhesive - Easily applied, no pre-heating or primer, no special installation equipment required.Used in many industries from providing waterproof joining solutions for synthetic turf and water sealing tarpaulins for dams and pond liners, to waterproofing and joining applications for piping, roof flashing, corrugated iron and shower bases. A synthetic rubber, or elastomer, butyl rubber is impermeable to air and used in many applications requiring an airtight rubber seal. It is hard wearing, can be applied to a wide variety of carrier surfaces and is able to be easily applied, thus giving instant results. The advantage of using butyl rubber in an adhesive format is that it is malleable and impermeable to air and water. Self-fusing Butyl Tape is used in many applications.

Also popular with caravan/RV manufacturers to bed in windows and hatches. In the marine industry butyl is often used for bedding in deck fittings, portlights & hatches on boats.
