Applications of expanding Robiband Psul tape in the installation of windows and houses

Concept

PSUL sealing tape is placed into joints or existing seams, after which it expands independently, filling cracks and gaps. Any, even minor, design defects will be hidden with the help of Robiband Psul. No weather influences can affect the heat level inside the room.

The most basic purpose for which PSUL tape is required is to create a ventilated assembly seam when installing doors or windows. It is made from polyurethane film to which acrylic is added. All these components in one material create excellent moisture-resistant and thermal insulation qualities. In addition, it can be used for a long time. The presence of an adhesive base on one of its sides also adds convenience to working with the tape.

VM tape

The VM Robiband vapor barrier tape is made of aluminum foil, which is reinforced with special artificial threads. The latter are extremely durable.

The use of VM B Robiband tape is recommended for internal vapor barrier of construction joints in order to subsequently treat the slope with plaster. There are 2 adhesive strips on the surface of the product. They are usually located on different sides, but upon customer request they can be placed on one side. One strip helps secure the tape to the structure, and the second is attached to the slope or wall.

The technical properties of the VM Robiband tape are the same as the previous one (NL). The product is sold in skeins of 12.5 m in length. The width of the tape is 8, 10, 12 and 15 cm. It is sold ready for use, so no special tools are needed.

Characteristics

When Psul tape is used, the characteristics on the positive side appear constantly. These include the following main features:

When compressed, the self-expanding Psul sealing tape is only two millimeters. After installation at its destination, it can expand up to 8 cm. This means that almost any gaps, even significant ones, will be hidden after installing the tape.
It is resistant to deformation (more than 14%).
Able to withstand atmospheric phenomena (solar radiation, moisture, temperature changes).
During operation, it is not subject to rotting or the appearance of various fungi and mold on the surface. At the same time, it has excellent vapor permeability properties. Rooms arranged with such tape “breathe” perfectly.
It is a material that is very difficult to burn.
It is capable of filling existing unevenness formed even during brick laying.
PSUL characteristics indicate that it is resistant to a large number of types of organic and inorganic solvents.
All work on its installation can be carried out at any temperature and weather conditions.
The service life is at least 50 years.

Manifesting qualities of PSUL tape

When using Robiband Psul, the characteristics are selected depending on the needs and environmental conditions. In any case, there are much more positive qualities than negative ones. Due to this, the expanding Psul tape is in great demand in the building materials market. More information about the types and properties of PSUL tape can be found on the company’s website https://robitex.ru/shop/psul/

Psul Robitex and Robiband

PSUL Robitex and Robiband are tapes made of elastic polyurethane foam, which have been compressed and rolled into a compact roll for easy storage and transportation. To ensure reliable protection of installation seams, the tape is impregnated with a special acrylic compound. An adhesive layer is applied to one side of it, which can ensure dense and reliable adhesion of the material to the surface.

Where can I use PSUL?

This tape will prove to be an indispensable assistant if you need to perform compaction:

connections in façade structures;
roofing elements in the construction of low-rise buildings;
“locks” when installing sandwich panels;
profile elements and light partitions;
gaps and junctions in wooden housing construction.

How is PSUL Robitex and Robiband applied?

The process of laying such tapes can be described by the following algorithm:

Clean the surfaces to be sealed from dust, dirt and oil stains. Then apply a penetrating bonding compound to them.
Peel off the protective paper covering the adhesive layer of the tape by about 10-15 cm.
Press the section of tape that has been removed from the protective paper onto the surface facing the joint that you want to seal.
Gradually unwind the roller and continue to press the tape along the entire length of the surface. Do not bend or pull it out.
Trim the PSUL when you have finished gluing the tape along the length of the seam or junction being sealed. It should expand, completely filling the gap being sealed. Please note that any longitudinal and angular connections of the PSUL must be made end-to-end.

Robiband

Main advantages

When it comes to combining the pros and cons of using PSUL tape, the main emphasis is on the advantages:

During installation, you can easily cut the tape and bend it in the desired direction. There are no difficulties during gluing.
Convenient packaging.
It can be combined with various surfaces, which can be not only metal, plastic, but also concrete and stone.
Regardless of the temperature and weather, the quality of insulation will remain at the required level.
It is very difficult to move it from its place once attached to the surface.
Environmental friendliness and fire safety.

But these are only the main advantages that the PSUL tape has. In addition, it can be noted that it is widely used in various industries.

Sun tape

Robiband BC tape is also aluminum foil, which is reinforced with special durable synthetic threads. It has 2 adhesive strips on different sides (but the manufacturer can place them differently upon request).

The use of Robiband BC tape in a frame house is intended only for internal vapor barrier of construction joints. In this case, in the future the slopes should be finished using a dry method (for example, using plastic slopes, sandwich panels, etc.).

One adhesive strip is fixed on the structure, and the second on the wall. The product has the same technical characteristics as the previous one. The tape can be purchased in lengths of 12.5 m and widths from 8 to 15 cm.

Application area

There are several types of PSUL seals, depending on the scope of application and installation conditions. They can be used in any case for waterproofing. But in addition to this, they perform the functions of sound insulation, steam and heat insulation.

For example, when replacing old windows with new ones, a weak point immediately appears - the junction between it and the wall. Most often it is filled with polyurethane foam. But it deteriorates very quickly during operation. Especially if there is increased exposure to moisture and sunlight. In order to fill the resulting gaps efficiently and profitably, Psul Robiband tape is used. It is also capable of protecting the polyurethane foam itself from destruction.

Another area of application is balcony blocks. The most commonly used tape here is butyl psul. In addition, this material is suitable for roofing under certain conditions. Its main quality is sufficient here - waterproofing. It seals drainage joints, joints of roofing materials, attic windows, etc.

Vapor barrier tapes

Robiband VM

This material is an integral part of the Robiband system, used to organize a ventilated assembly seam. The Robiband system fully complies with modern technical standards.

In the line of PREMIUM ROBIBAND brand products, the Robitex company uses the latest butyl rubber adhesive layer (BKKS), which provides ultra-high adhesive-cohesive qualities and stickiness to surfaces. According to test results, the new BKKS showed excellent durability results. The conditional service life is more than 20 years.

Brief Product Description

Vapor barrier tape made of aluminum foil reinforced with high-strength synthetic thread. The tape is intended for internal vapor barrier of assembly joints, followed by plastering of slopes. The tape has two adhesive strips on one (optional) or two sides. One strip is intended for attaching the tape to the translucent structure, the other is for attaching the tape to the wall slope. On the side of the strip intended for fastening to the translucent structure, the tape is duplicated with non-woven material to create adhesion of the tape with the plaster mortar. A wide range of tape sizes allows you to choose a material to protect seams of almost any size. The tape is supplied in rollers. The use of Robiband vapor barrier tapes provides reliable protection of the mounting foam from moisture from the room and prevents moisture from escaping from the seam on the surface of the internal slopes.

Choosing the size of Robiband VM

To ensure reliable protection of a seam or joint, the tape must be glued to the wall or slope with the entire width of the corresponding adhesive strip. Therefore, the width of the tape is selected as follows: it is necessary to add 45 mm to the width of the installation gap (rounded up). If necessary, a wider tape can be used.

Basic sizes

Tape width, mm	Length, m
80	12,5
100	12,5
120	12,5
150	12,5

It is possible to produce other standard sizes upon request

Application of Robiband VM tapes

The Robiband VM tape is immediately ready for use and does not require special tools for installation. The surfaces of joints and seams must be cleaned of dirt. Absorbent and fragile surfaces require preliminary priming. The tape must be glued tightly along its entire length. Installation of the tape should be carried out using the “from the frame” technology, having previously glued it to the SPK box. The tape must be overlapped. It is recommended to seal the assembly seam “on the wet foam”. This is necessary so that the polyurethane foam, when expanding, sticks the tape to itself and stretches it a little for more convenient work during subsequent plastering of the slopes. Only the integrated use of the Robiband system ensures the necessary reliability and durability of the assembly seam. The use of each material separately or their incomplete combination only partially improves the characteristics of the seam and does not provide comprehensive protection against a wide range of negative impacts on the seam during its entire service life.

Application of Robiband PB tapes

The Robiband PB tape is immediately ready for use and does not require special tools for installation. The surfaces of double-glazed windows in the sealing zone must be cleaned of dirt; it is recommended to treat them with degreasing compounds. The tape must be glued tightly along its entire length. Any gap or leak is a channel for moisture to penetrate. The tape must be overlapped. Seal in stages, first horizontal seams, then vertical ones. The tapes should not protrude beyond the covering strip. The base material used (Al+Polyethylene) allows you to use a construction hair dryer to warm up the adhesive layer when working at negative temperatures, as well as attach the covering strip without violating the vapor barrier characteristics of Robiband tapes. Sealing of translucent structures Robiband PB tape is used for vapor barrier of the installation seam from the inside of the room in the lower part of the window frame. Remove the protective paper from the tape. Glue the tape with one side to the stand profile or in the fold intended for installing a window sill, and the other to the bottom of the window opening. It is recommended to seal the assembly seam “over wet foam”, but an option is possible when sealing it onto cut PPU foam. Sealing of roofs and drains In case of local violation of the tightness of a roof made of galvanized steel, metal tiles, asbestos fiber sheets, etc. Robiband PB tape is used as a repair material. The width of the tape is selected taking into account covering the hole by at least 2 times. The surface to be repaired is degreased. The protective release paper is removed from the tape. The tape is placed on the crack (hole) to be repaired and rolled tightly with a roller or smoothed with a rag.

Tape selection

When choosing a Robiband waterproofing tape for installation, you should pay attention to certain qualities and factors:

Extension degree. The density of filling the seam will depend on it. An optimal ratio is identified in which the expansion does not exceed the initial (compressed) position by 20-30 percent. More critical condition – 50-60 percent. In this case, the density for the PSUL tape will be different.
Width of the layer with glue. This will affect the tightness of the fit to the base, which is pasted over, as well as the strength during use.
The Robiband sealing tape must have a minimum width of 2 cm if windows are being installed. The wider the material, the better it exhibits its qualities during operation.

As an example, we can give the following calculation: the width of the seam is 1 cm. In this case, the degree of expansion would best be within 30-40 units. This suggests that the tape will increase by approximately 20-25% of its original state.

The price will be influenced not only by the size of the Robiband butyl tape, along with the length of the roll, but also by the composition, the presence of additional components, the features of the functions and types. Everyone knows that the price will increase depending on the number of resellers. This suggests that the best option is to purchase the tape from a manufacturer or intermediary.

Tape NL

The waterproofing vapor-permeable tape is made of artificial membrane-like non-woven material. The use of Robiband tape ensures the reliability of the joint. It is used for waterproofing the lower construction seam.

The tape has 2 adhesive strips on one side (and can be made on both sides to order). One is used to fix the product on the structure, and the other is used to attach it to the wall.

Tips for choosing

Before purchasing any type of Robiband tape, experts advise first asking the seller for a passport for such a product or certificates of conformity. They definitely need to be viewed and verified. This is a confirmation of the quality of the product, so doubts will disappear.

If this is your first time choosing and using such a tape, it is best to first consult with a specialist in this field. He will tell you about all the options for Robiband tapes, their features, applications, differences, and also tell you what is preferable to purchase.

Installation work can also be carried out at low ambient temperatures. In this case, it is recommended to use a special construction hair dryer to preheat the tapes if necessary (in particular, for PSUL). For her, under such conditions, the increase in size will occur 2 times faster.

Do not unwind the entire roll while working. In the future, if part of the product is no longer needed, it is quite difficult to wind the tape back, and this is wasted money. It is best to use the product by carefully unwinding the required amount from the roll.

In general, the use of Robiband tapes will help to efficiently insulate a building and protect it from the effects of negative conditions.
