Torchtar’s Flashing Tape are a heavy duty self adhesive, aluminum-backed flashing tapes specially formulated for waterproofing roof to wall and other building joints. It consists of a cold-applied aluminum foil coated with a bituminous adhesive and a plastic interleaving for cleaner handling and easier release. The aluminum laminate has a grey weatherproof lacquer finish that resembles lead. These tapes are resistant to water, cement-water, sea water, domestic sewage, bitumen, light fuel oil, diesel, alkali, acid. This product aggressively sticks and stays stuck both at lower and higher application temperatures than traditional flashing tapes. It even adheres to damp surfaces.
