The Application of Joint Sealing Tape and Coils

The use of joint sealing tape, also known as swelling tape or compression tape, is widespread in the construction industry. It is a pre-compressed tape used for sealing joints. This tape is particularly useful for sealing joints between components to prevent the penetration of water, air, and other environmental influences. This extends the lifespan of the components and improves their function.

Pre-compressed tape and its properties

A pre-compressed tape is a type of joint tape that is compressed during manufacturing to increase its sealing capability. When applied to a joint, it expands to completely fill the joint. The joint sealing tape BG1 is an example of such a tape that is commonly used in the construction industry.

What is joint sealing tape BG1?

The joint sealing tape BG1 is a special joint tape that meets particularly high sealing requirements. It is often used in areas with high loads from wind, weather, and mechanical stresses. BG1 stands for the highest stress group that a joint tape can achieve. It offers excellent resistance to weathering and aging.

The swelling tape and its application

Swelling tape is another type of joint seal that expands upon contact with water. It is often used in the construction industry to seal joints that regularly come into contact with water. The expansion of the swelling tape effectively seals the joint and thus prevents the ingress of water.

Compression tape and foam tape

Compression tape, also known as foam tape, is a type of joint tape made of a compressed foam material. It has the unique ability to expand after application, forming a tight and durable seal. It is often used to seal joints on windows, doors, and other building components.

Stress group BG2

In addition to the joint sealing tape BG1, there is also the joint tape of stress group 2, or BG2. It has similar properties to BG1 but is designed for lower loads. It is often used in areas where the stress from wind and weather is not as high.

Whether one chooses a BG1 joint sealing tape, a swelling tape, a compression tape, or a foam tape depends heavily on the specific requirements of the respective construction project. However, all these tapes offer effective solutions for sealing joints and thus contribute to improving the lifespan and functionality of buildings.
