Megatape Self-Adhesive Waterproof Tape
Megatape Self-Adhesive Waterproof Tape
Providing highly-effective sealing of corners and joints, Mega Tape is a robust and totally water-resistant material. Its flexible construction and self-adhesive property makes it easy to apply and helps to ensure that a fully waterproof finish is achieved in the wetroom.
Advantages:
- High flexibility
- High starting tack (sticks immediately)
- High long lasting adhesive force after 24 hrs. (high resistance towards peeling, shearing, pulling).
Areas of Application:
- Sticking of materials without any long lasting mechanical stress
- Sealing towards water and water vapour
- Damping of vibrations between modules
Processing Notes:
The user must ensure that the adhesive is compatible with the subsurface in terms of adhesive strength, paint compatibility and chemical compatibility (perform own tests). The subsurface must be clean, dry and free of dust. Porous and absorbent subsurfaces must be pre-treated with Multi Primer. Pull off the cover paper from the layer of adhesive on the rear, and press the Butyl Tape DS down. Once fixed in place, continue pulling off the cover film / cover paper at the same time as continuing to press the product down hard to prevent the formation of air bubbles. To prevent any loss of adhesive strength, you must ensure that the Butyl Tape DS takes on the contours of the subsurface once fitted. After fitting, therefore, Butyl Tape DS must be pressed down hard into the subsurface (use a pressure roller). Butyl adhesive tapes are by their nature plastic and have no elastic characteristics. They are not suited for continuous heavy mechanical loads and cannot replace the use of assembly adhesives or mechanical fixings. The mechanical load that may be applied to butyl rubber adhesives reduces as the temperature increases. Adhesive tapes with butyl rubber adhesive are sensitive to solvents.
Processing Notes:
storage area must be properly ventilated. There is a tendency for the cover paper to adhere strongly to the butyl adhesive if the storage temperature exceeds 30 °C.
Safety:
Keep away from children. If in doubt, consult the safety data sheet.

It is used for waterproofing joints in a wetroom application. Examples of this would be between the tray and floor, floor and wall and up the corner of the room.
This tape is better than alternatives as it is self-adhesive. This makes it much easier to use, as you do not have to apply it with the paint on membrane which can be very messy. It has a split back also, which makes sure of a tight fit in the corners.
Mega Tape can be used in conjunction with decoupling mattings, to make a waterproof join where two mats meet.
The tape comes on a 10m roll, and is 80mm wide.
