What is Expanding Foam Tape?

Expanding Foam Tape is a type of weatherstripping that has been available for commercial use for a long time, Sanders told us, but is a recent addition at the retail level. And it can make all the difference for home or office.
Expansion Foam tape is a compressed swelling tape for storm-resistant sealing, with a polymer impregnation for long-term stability. The Yousan expansion tape guarantees complete wind and water tightness (driving rain) up to wind force at a building. In addition, the tape is almost completely vapour permeable which corresponds to current building requirements.

How to Use Expanding Foam Tape

1. Storage and Surface Preparation
Tapes should be stored in a warm dry interior location. Ideal application
temperature is approx. 75°F (24°C). Expansion will be faster at higher
temperatures and slower at lower temperatures.
Tip: For faster expansion in cold conditions keep the material warm before use and,
if desired, apply heat from a hair dryer to installed material to accelerate
expansion. Joint faces should be dry and cleaned of dirt, oils, grease, etc. There
should exist proper depth to receive full height/width of the expanded sealant. It
will not effectively seal greater than the specified expansion.
Reels must be stored FLAT and kept compact. Should material expand
in package it can still be used. Unroll material, allow it to expand, then recompress
it between surfaces to be sealed.

2. Opening Reels
Only open materials that will be immediately used. Remove shrink wrap.
Cut in front of colored marking tape and pull back release liner to expose mounting
adhesive.
3. Square Off Ends
Start and finish ends must be cut square. For easier cutting spray knife or scissors
with mist of water.

4. Peel Off Liner
Remove release liner to expose adhesive face of tape.

5. Adhere to Surfaces
Press adhesive face to one surface. Align other surface with tape. Secure surfaces
together. Tip: If needed, cut and fit small filler pieces of tape to fill panel
corrugation or voids.

6. Joining Lengths
Work in one direction towards the previously installed length or end of joint. Do not
stretch material.
Leave the end to be joined to the previous length sticking proud of the joint. Push
the joining faces together. Push hard on the foam length to compress joins firmly
together. Ensure there are no voids at joins.
