EE1040
Semi-closed crushed EPDM Foam Tape
EE1040 (EPT Sealer) is a pressure-closed-cell foam joint-filling material used to fill gaps found in a variety of structures i.e. buildings, civil engineering works, rolling stock, housing facilities and all types of equipment. EE1040 is laminated with a double coated butyl adhesive to adhere to greasy, rough or rubber substrates. It is manufactured by expanding a mixture of synthetic rubber and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene methylene). According to the degree of compression applied to the foam, EE-1040 can be used as a waterproofing, windbreak, dust-proofing, sound damping or thermal insulating material. Building and civil engineering works: For sealing joints of exterior panels such as PC plates, ALC plates or slate plates. For sealing joints around sashes and of steel water grooves, and at road or bridge construction sites. Electrical appliances: For packing and sealing refrigerators, washers, air conditioners, etc. Housing and equipment : For packing and sealing. Marine vessels, rolling stock, autos: Used for sealing weatherstrip retainers and for filling and sealing all types of joints.
