Products made from butyl sealant are widely used across various industries – from construction to automotive – thanks to their excellent insulating properties and resistance to weather conditions. One of the key advantages of this product group is the ability to perform effectively in both low and high temperatures, without losing flexibility or adhesion.
Properties of Butyl Sealant in Extreme Conditions
Butyl sealant is known for its resistance to extreme temperatures – typically from -40°C to +90°C (and in some cases even higher). This makes it suitable for use in both freezing winter conditions and during hot summer days. It does not harden in cold temperatures, allowing it to maintain a tight seal, and it doesn’t soften excessively under heat, preventing it from oozing out of sealed joints.
Examples of Applications:
-
Construction and flat roofing – butyl tape and butyl rope are used for sealing roof joints, flashing, skylights, roof windows, and photovoltaic panels.
-
Automotive industry – butyl strip is used in the installation of car windows, headlights, and body components, providing resistance to vibrations and changing temperatures.
-
HVAC systems – butyl rope is ideal for sealing ventilation ducts and HVAC installations, where temperature fluctuations are frequent.
-
Concrete prefabrication – butyl sealant is used for connecting sewer and drainage elements that are exposed to harsh ground and weather conditions.
Why Use Butyl-Based Products?
Products such as butyl tape, butyl rope, and butyl strip offer long-lasting, flexible, and durable sealing without the need for additional chemicals. They are easy to apply, require no specialized tools, and deliver instant sealing – regardless of the ambient temperature.
