Eco-Friendly Aluminium Foil Butyl Waterproofing Tape for Superior Sealing

Mr. Maruthu Pandi, Business Head, PRONIL, India & South-East Asia

PRONIL PROBUTYL is an eco-friendly waterproofing tape made with aluminium foil and butyl, ideal for sealing and protection of buildings and structures. Made with premium materials like butyl and polyisobutylene, this tape is produced using an advanced blend formula and vulcanization process. This unique manufacturing process enhances adhesion of the product without the use of solvents, ensuring both high performance and environmental safety. 

Reinforced with a robust aluminium foil backing, the product offers an additional layer of protection against moisture, heat, and UV exposure. This unique formulation enables the tape to create a strong, waterproof, and airtight seal that adheres securely to a variety of surfaces, such as metal, wood, and concrete. As a result, it provides long-lasting protection even under extreme conditions. With exceptional sealing performance, PRONIL PROBUTYL not only meets the rigorous demands of various applications but also aligns with eco-conscious standards in modern sealing solutions.

Application Method for PRONIL PROBUTYL Aluminium Foil Butyl Tape

Surface Preparation

  • Start by cleaning the surface to remove dust, dirt, or any other debris.
  • Ensure the surface is dry, as moisture can impact adhesion.
  • If the substrate is uneven or porous, apply a suitable primer to improve adhesion.

Measure and Cut the Tape

  • Measure the area to be covered and cut the tape to the required length.
  • Allow for an overlap of at least 5 cm on adjacent strips to ensure a watertight seal.

Peel Off the Release Liner

  • Carefully peel off the grey-black release liner from the adhesive side of the tape.
  • Avoid touching the adhesive surface to maintain its stickiness.

Position and Apply the Tape

  • Place the adhesive side of the tape onto the prepared surface.
  • Start at one end and slowly press the tape down, smoothing it as you go to avoid wrinkles or bubbles.

Overlap Edges for a Watertight Seal

  • When applying multiple strips, overlap the edges by at least 5 cm.
  • This ensures a seamless, watertight seal and prevents gaps between sections.

Secure the Bond

  • Use a roller or apply firm hand pressure to press the tape, especially along the seams and edges.
  • Inspect the area for any bubbles or gaps, and smooth out as needed for a secure, long-lasting bond.

Post-Application Check

  • Re-inspect the application to confirm the tape is fully adhered with no loose edges.
  • Clean any tools or surfaces with water if soiled during the process.
