DUPONT TYVEK TAPE 2" X 164'

DuPont™ Tyvek® Tape is a high-strength, waterproof adhesive tape designed to seal joints and seams in Tyvek® housewrap, improving energy efficiency by preventing air and moisture infiltration. Key uses include sealing building envelopes (walls, windows, doors), along with specialty applications like archival book repair and gear repair. Key Aspects of Tyvek Tape: Purpose: The primary purpose is to seal seams, tears, and penetrations in Tyvek® weatherization systems, creating a continuous barrier against wind and water. Common Uses: Construction: Sealing house wrap, taping window/door flashing, and securing vapor barriers. Archival/Repair: Hinging, spine reinforcement, and general archival repair due to its acid-free nature. Outdoor Gear: Repairing packs, shelters, and packrafts (e.g., patching tears). Application Method: Construction: Apply to clean, dry surfaces, starting at the bottom and overlapping towards the top to ensure a proper water-shedding seal. Pressure-Sensitive: It requires firm pressure to activate the adhesive for a secure, durable bond. Performance: Features a tear-resistant, durable polyethylene backing with a strong acrylic adhesive that works well in a wide range of temperatures. Safety & Precautions: Always check the Material Safety Data Sheet ((M)SDS) before use. For construction, 2-inch tape is typical for home wrap, while 3-inch is used for drain wrap. It is important to use genuine Tyvek® tape to ensure compatibility with house wrap products for long-term durability.
