Self Adhesive Bituminous Tape for Asphalt Repair and Joint Sealing

Self Adhesive Bituminous Tape is a high-performance sealing solution designed for asphalt repair, joint protection, and crack prevention. It creates a durable, flexible barrier that blocks water penetration and reduces premature pavement failure in both new and existing asphalt surfaces.

This cold-applied system allows fast installation while ensuring long-term performance in road construction and maintenance projects.

What Is Self Adhesive Bituminous Tape?

Self-Adhesive Bituminous Tape is a polymer modified bitumen tape with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. It bonds directly to asphalt, concrete, and metal surfaces without the need for hot bitumen or flame application.

By forming a stress-absorbing interlayer, it controls movement between different materials and prevents reflective cracking.

Polymer Modified Bitumen Technology

This tape is manufactured using SBS modified bitumen, which significantly improves flexibility and temperature resistance.

As a result:

• The tape remains flexible at low temperatures

• It maintains stability under high surface temperatures

• It adapts to traffic load and pavement movement

This polymer modification makes Self-Adhesive Bituminous Tape suitable for demanding climates and heavy-duty applications.

Key Benefits of Self Adhesive Bituminous Tape

• Cold applied with no heating required

• Excellent adhesion to asphalt, concrete, and metal

• Prevents water ingress into pavement layers

• Reduces crack formation around patchwork areas

• Extends the service life of asphalt repairs

Typical Applications

Self Adhesive Bituminous Tape is widely used in:

• Asphalt patchwork and pothole repair

• Utility trench reinstatement

• Manhole and inspection chamber sealing

• Asphalt-to-concrete and asphalt-to-metal joints

• Urban roads, highways, and industrial pavements

Installation Method

Installation is fast and simple:

1. Clean and dry the surface

2. Remove the release liner

3. Apply the tape with firm pressure

4. Install new asphalt over the tape

In cold weather, light pre-heating improves adhesion, although the product remains cold-applied.

Designed for Professional Infrastructure Projects

Self Adhesive Bituminous Tape plays a critical role in modern pavement systems where durability and performance are essential. Its flexible structure allows it to perform reliably under temperature variation and traffic movement, making it a trusted solution for professional road construction and maintenance.

Long-Term Performance and Cost Efficiency

By reinforcing joints and sealing weak zones, Self Adhesive Bituminous Tape reduces maintenance frequency and lowers overall lifecycle costs. It helps engineers and contractors achieve longer-lasting asphalt surfaces with minimal installation time.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Is Self Adhesive Bituminous Tape the same as asphalt tape?
Yes. “Asphalt tape” is a common market term, while Self-Adhesive Bituminous Tape is the technical name.

Does it require hot application or flame?
No. The tape is cold-applied and does not require hot bitumen or flame.

Can it be used in cold climates?
Yes. The SBS-modified structure ensures flexibility at low temperatures.

Is this product suitable for permanent repairs?
It is designed to reinforce repairs and significantly extend asphalt service life.
