Flashing Tape

Torchtar’s Flashing Tape are a heavy duty selfadhesive, aluminium-backed flashing tapes specially formulated for waterproofing roof to wall and other building joints. It consists of a cold-applied aluminium foil coated with a bituminous adhesive and a plastic interleaving for cleaner handling and easier release. The aluminium 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.
