Self Adhesive Flashing Tape

Self-adhesive flashing tape is a bitumen-based waterproofing tape with a sticky underside protected by a release liner and a protective facing on the outside (often aluminum foil, HDPE or polyester). It's essentially a ready-to-use waterproof seal strip that sticks without heat or additional adhesive. Made from rubber-modified bitumen compound — sticky, flexible and waterproof. Upper side often reinforced (foil or film) to protect against weather and abrasion. Peel-off backing makes application simple — just press into place. 💡 "Flashing tape" refers to tape used where two building surfaces meet, creating a barrier against water entering the joint. 🛠️ What It's Used For Bitumen flashing tape is widely used in construction and repair for: 🔹 Roofing & Exterior Sealing roof joints, cracks and overlaps Around chimneys, skylights, parapets, dormer windows Roof cladding transitions and ridge joints Flashings and roof edges 🔹 Walls & Penetrations Sealing around pipes, vents, window/door frames Joints in external wall sheeting Terrace parapets and wall junctions 🔹 Waterproofing & Repair Temporary waterproof repairs on gutters, leaks, downpipes Quick fix for leaky surfaces before major work 💡 Key Features ✔️ Cold applied — no flame or heat needed ✔️ Instant watertight seal once applied ✔️ Flexible and tough, conforms to contours ✔️ Bonds to many surfaces (metal, concrete, masonry, tiles) ✔️ Easy to cut to length and install by hand 📏 Typical Sizes & Materials Self-adhesive flashing tapes commonly come in: Widths from ~25 mm up to ~300 mm or more Lengths around 5–10 m per roll Thickness around ~1.0–1.5 mm (varies by spec) Different brands offer aluminum-faced, polyester-faced, or HDPE-faced variants depending on durability needs. 🛒 Buying Tips Since I couldn't pull up a specific Bitumag branded self-adhesive flashing tape SKU via product search, here's how to choose a similar tape that fits the same role: What to look for when buying: Self-adhesive bitumen compound Protective facing (aluminum or polymer) Thickness & width suitable for your joint or roof detail Good adhesion and weather resistance Works at your local temperature range If you want, tell me the width/length you need and what you're sealing (roof, wall, pipe, etc.), and I can help pick an exact product that's available online or locally in India
