VITOLEN sealing tapes adhere very well to a wide variety of surfaces. The closed-cell foam has good thermal insulation properties and hardly absorbs any moisture.

VITO sealing tapes are made of a closed cell PET-Foam equipped on one side with a special pressure sensitive glue favorable to an intact environment. The elasticity of the VITO sealing tapes compensates the movements caused by wind load stressing as well as by changes in temperature and humidity. These may occur at different speed and may overlap.

Suitably applied and in conjunction with commercially available elastic sealing materials VITO sealing tapes ensure closed glazing joints which show efficient weathering resistance. Produced in the mentioned way, the durably elastic glazing joint performs its function for many years.

A positive effect obtainable through the use of glazing tapes is the better isolation against transmission of noise. Our glazing tapes are free from softening agents. They can be used within a temperature range extending from −80 °C up to 50 °C. Compatibility with commercially available elastic sealing materials is given. High adhesive strength and shearing strength guarantee a stable adhesive cohesion power. Only in case of uneven and porous grounds, a preliminary paint (primer) is recommendable in order to achieve a good adherence. But normally our glazing tapes do not need any preliminary paint. The glazing joint must be dry and exempt from any separating agents and dust.
The recommended temperature of application is between 2 °C and 30 °C.

Sealing tapes made of polyethylene foam may not be exposed to direct solar radiation, because the surface layer of the material could be damaged by the high ultraviolet load. VITO sealing and glazing tapes are available in different versions.
