Illbruck joint sealing tape TP652

The joint sealing tape is applied to a joint, where it then swells, spreads out in the joint and adapts to the joint edges. The TP652 illmod trioplex from illbruck is a pre-compressed, waterproof joint sealing tape made of foam, specifically polyurethane. It has the following specifications:

• Multifunctional sealing tape
• Thermal insulation effect
• Waterproof sides
• Pre-compressed foam tape
• Low thermal conductivity
• Colour: anthracite
• For joint depths: 58-88 mm
• Tape lengths: roll of 3-9 m

Sealing tape is usually used to seal door joints and joints around the window. At the same time, the tape also has many uses: floor joints, in facade construction or the automotive industry.

Joint sealing tape has different names: sealing tape, window sealing tape, expanding waterstop, stopper tape or compression tape.

On the one hand, compression tapes are used to seal indoor and outdoor areas and protect them against draughts, rain, dirt, dust and noise. And on the other hand they ensure tightly sealed joints on building materials.

Joint sealing tape is not only an important accessory for sealing windows and doors in construction. Joint tape is also used actively in the private sector when installing door frames in masonry or to ensure a watertight connection between different building materials.

Waterstop applied to both the inside and outside perfectly seals construction joints as well as moving joints. The tapes are also used, for example, in interior panelling in timber construction or between aluminium profiles in building construction. Even the automotive industry and container construction make use of joint sealing tape.

Multi-purpose sealing tape is divided into different stress groups (abbreviated here as SG). According to the nature and properties of joint sealing tape, these stress groups are determined in accordance with standardDIN 18542 and divided into three SG categories:

• SG 1
• SG 2
• SG R

SG 1 is the highest stress group and meets the requirements for sealing external joints. Outdoor use is subject to greater stress, since the sealing tape is directly exposed to the elements and UV light.

SG 2-level sealing tapes, on the other hand, are used for covered installation; tapes from SG R are in most cases used indoors.

Determining which of these groups the tape falls into depends on aspects such as weather resistance, fire behaviour, air permeability (a-value), resistance to temperature changes and other factors.

Choose the right joint sealing tape depending on the joint width and requirements.

The illmod sealing tape roll is categorised as SG 1 (andSG R) and is recommended for insulation of any kind – for indoor as well as for outdoor use. The various models of illmod compression tape differ depending on the area of use and joint depth or size.
