Those who appreciate the warmth and comfort in their own home are trying to produce high-quality not only insulation, but also sealing of each room. At the same time, cost savings are an important factor. It is enough to do the work to reduce heat loss once, in order to spend less money on payment later. In this case, it is very important to seal up all the gaps in the doors and windows. In this, the PSUL tape is an excellent assistant.

Concept

The PSUL sealing tape is placed in the joints or existing seams, after which it expands on its own, filling cracks and gaps. Any, even minor design defects will be hidden with the help of Robiband psul. No weather influences can affect the indoor heat level.

The most basic thing for which PSUL tape is required is to create a ventilated assembly seam when installing doors or windows. It is made from polyurethane film, which is added with acrylic. All these components in one material create excellent moisture resistance and thermal insulation properties. In addition, it is capable of being in operation for a long time. Convenience in working with the tape is also added by the presence of an adhesive base on one of its sides.

Characteristics

When psul tape is used, the characteristics on the positive side appear constantly. These include the following main features:

1. When compressed, psul self-expanding sealing tape is only two millimeters long. Once installed at its destination, it can expand up to 8 cm. This means that almost any gaps, even large ones, will be hidden after the tape is installed.
2. It is resistant to deformation (over 14%).
3. Capable of withstanding atmospheric phenomena (solar radiation, moisture, temperature changes).
4. During operation, it does not rot, the appearance of various fungi and mold on the surface. With all this, it has excellent vapor permeability properties. The rooms arranged with such a tape "breathe" perfectly.
5. It is a material that is very difficult to burn.
6. Able to fill the existing irregularities formed even when laying bricks.
7. PSUL characteristics indicate that it is resistant to a wide variety of organic and inorganic solvents.
8. All work on its installation can be carried out under any temperature and weather conditions.

9. The service life is at least 50 years.

   

When using robiband psul, the characteristics are selected depending on the needs and environmental conditions. In any case, there are much more positive qualities than disadvantages. Due to this, the expanding psul tape is in great demand in the building materials market. Details about the types and properties of PSUL tape can be found on the company's website

Main advantages

When it comes to combining the pros and cons of using PSUL tape, the main emphasis is on the benefits:

• During the installation process, you can easily cut the tape, bend it in the desired direction. There are no difficulties when gluing.
• Convenience of packaging.

• Combines with various surfaces, which can be not only metal, plastic, but also concrete, stone.

  

• Regardless of temperature and weather, the quality of the insulation will remain at the required level.
• It is very difficult to move it after fixing it to the surface.
• Environmental friendliness and fire safety.

But these are only the main advantages of the psul tape. In addition, it can be noted that it is widely used in various industries.

Application area

There are several types of PSUL gaskets, depending on the application and installation conditions. They can be used in any way for waterproofing. But in addition to this, they perform the functions of sound insulation, steam and thermal insulation.

For example, when replacing old windows with new ones, a weak spot immediately appears - the junction of it and the wall. Most often it is filled with polyurethane foam. But it is destroyed very quickly during operation. Especially if there is an increased exposure to moisture and sunlight. To fill the resulting gaps with quality and usefully, psul robiband tape is used. It is also able to protect the polyurethane foam itself from destruction.

Another area of application is balcony blocks. Most often used here is butyl psul tape. In addition, under certain conditions, this material is suitable for working with a roof. Here, its main quality is sufficient - waterproofing. It seals the gutter joints, joints of roofing materials, windows in the attic, etc.

Choice of ribbons

When a Robiband waterproofing tape is chosen for installation, you should pay attention to certain qualities and factors:

• Expansion ratio. The density of the seam filling will depend on it. Allocate the optimal ratio in which the expansion does not exceed the original (contracted) position by 20-30 percent. A more critical condition is 50-60 percent. In this case, the density for the psul tape will differ.
• The width of the adhesive layer. This will affect the tightness of the adhesion to the base, which is pasted over, as well as the strength during use.
• The robiband sealing tape should have a minimum width of 2 cm if windows are installed. The wider the material, the better it shows its qualities during operation.

For example, you can give the following calculation: the width of the seam is 1 cm. In this case, the expansion ratio is best in the range of 30-40 units. This suggests that the tape will increase by about 20-25% of the original state.

The price will be influenced not only by the size of the robiband butyl tape, together with the length of the roll, but also by the composition, the presence of additional components, the features of the manifested functions and types. Everyone knows that the price will increase depending on the number of dealers. This suggests that the best option is to purchase the tape from a manufacturer or reseller.

Advice

When a PSUL is purchased, it will not be superfluous to demand from the seller a passport for this material, or a certificate of conformity. This will only once confirm the quality of the products, hide numerous doubts.

If for the first time comes across a tape, it is better to seek help from a specialist in this direction. He will not only tell you about the options and types available, but also suggest the best choice.

Installation work can be carried out at low temperatures. In this case, you can use a building hair dryer to warm up the tape. The increase in the rate of growth in size will be almost twice as fast.

You don't have to start unrolling the entire roll right away for work. Subsequently, if part of the material is no longer useful, it will be impossible to rewind it. Hence, it turns out to be a simple waste of money. It will be very difficult to install the expanded sealant later. Most often, in such situations, errors and errors in installation are manifested.

As soon as the surface is ready for pasting, the tape should be attached immediately before it has had time to expand to the limit.

The use of this material will allow you to insulate the house, minimize heat loss, and protect the house from any climate influences.
