RANGE REVIEW Shurtape brings two new tapes to market
Tape manufacturer Shurtape is introducing two new professional tapes to market: a pro grade flashing and waterproofing tape for the building industry and a new double-sided tape for painters and decorators, FrogTape Pro Grade Flashing and Waterproofing Tape has been launched to provide reliable weatherproof seals around windows and doors in residential and commercial projects. The tape has been created with high-performance ShurGRIP acrylic adhesive, made using UV technology. This delivers several advantages over traditional Butyl flashing tape. It creates a stable adhesive system that won’t break down over time, instead creating a stronger bond.
It also provides superior performance and conformability across a range of hot temperatures and climates and gives excellent adhesion to all building materials with no need for a primer, and it won’t react with caulks and sealants. Available in three sizes: 95mm x 22.9m, 15.2cm x 22.9m and 22.8cm x 22.9m the product will be available in merchants very soon.
Jason Burns, MD of Shurtape, says: “FrogTape Pro Grade Flashing and Waterproof Tape provides a superb waterproof seal and easily bends around building transitions, edges and corners, with initial opportunity to reposition before sealing for a superior, durable bond after installation. “What’s more, it is manufactured without solvents, thermal ovens, pollutants or greenhouse gasses, making it a more sustainable sealing option for builders.” FrogTape Containment Tape, meanwhile, is a premium painter’s masking tape on one side, to stick
to surfaces such as drywall, wood trim, glass, plastic and vinyl, with an aggressive adhesive on the other side which can adhere to polysheets and plastics. It was created to provide the specific adhesives necessary for safely and swiftly securing different textures, perfect for poly-sheeting, dropcloths, decorating sheets, tarps and other protective coverings. With secure adhesion for up to 21 days, the tape provides sealed protection for dust containment as well as spray painting , making it ideal for a range of interior tasks including decorating, cleaning, sanding, mould remediation and asbestos removal.
