Butyl Tape
1 product availableButyl tape is a strong and flexible sealing and bonding tape. It is highly useful wherever a moisture-resistant seal between surfaces is required. It uses a butyl rubber adhesive, which conforms well around joints, edges, and slightly uneven areas. Hence, it is highly useful across construction, roofing, automotive, HVAC and general maintenance work. Our range includes Double-Sided Butyl Tape – Kikusui, a practical butyl adhesive tape for sealing and bonding between two surfaces.
Why Use Butyl Tape?
Butyl sealing tape provides a reliable seal in applications where mechanical fixings such as screws or bolts are not preferred or possible. Butyl tape can be applied over a range of common materials, including metal, glass, timber, PVC and painted surfaces where the surface is prepared to a clean and dry standard.
Common Applications
Butyl tape is commonly used for:
- Roofing joints and components
- Skylights and window trims
- Metal panel assemblies
- Automotive and caravan sealing
- HVAC work
- Building joints
- General repair and maintenance work

FAQs
Yes, this is one of the options people choose across various applications, like caravans and RVs, sealing windows, vents, trims and other joints where a flexible, moisture-resistant seal is required.
It highly depends on the steps you follow. This tape is highly useful in combination with an additional sealant on the exterior around edges and the surfaces that are exposed. Always follow the relevant installation instructions for components and systems.
Select the butyl tape width based on the area of surface contact required for the joint or between two surfaces. A greater width may be required on larger joints or where increased surface coverage is necessary.
Old butyl tape can typically be replaced. Ensure the existing butyl tape and residue is cleaned away before applying a new strip to replace it.
