Uses for Butyl Tape

Butyl waterproof tape is a sealing tape that is blended with butyl rubber and polyisobutylene and other main raw materials. The advanced adhesive properties of butyl tape are well known. It is suitable for small home repairs, on glass, on some metal materials and more. Having a roll of butyl tape makes quick repairs a snap, and it can be used in a variety of ways on a wide range of surfaces.

Butyl Tape for Roofing Uses

Butyl tape was originally created and used for roofing. It protects from the outdoor elements and is fantastic for repairs. It seals seams and binds cracks and holes that are small in diameter and just on the surface of the roof and its shingles.

For the best results from butyl tape, put it down on grit-free roofs that have a smooth surface. Clean the roof thoroughly with a pressure washer or a good solution of detergent and water by hand before applying the sticky layer of tape.

Butyl tape may be a lifesaver, but it has its limits. Only use it on small areas. If you apply butyl tape over large areas as a patch, it may not hold up to the harsh weather conditions that a roof is designed to endure.

Butyl Tape for Gutter

For temporary fixes, butyl tape can be wrapped around gutter and downspout with minor leaks. As a stop gap, the adhesive will hold up to oozing and dripping while attempting to find the source of a problem or running out for new parts.

Before applying it to a gutter, wipe down the area with rubbing alcohol or a commercial cleaner. This will help the tape to adhere to the pipe cleaner and faster.

Butyl Tape for Glass

Butyl tape does a good job on ribbed and flat surfaces as well as on a slick pane of glass. There is a specific type of butyl tape for use on glass. It is double sided and rather like tape that is used for glazing.

When using butyl tape for windows or glass, it does a few things:

· When you are placing a window pane into its frame, a layer of butyl tape will act as a barrier.

· It provides an adhesive insulation between the thin pane of glass and the metal, hard plastic or wood frame.

· It helps the glass to stay snugly inside its frame.

· A layer of butyl tape protects the window from losing the heat inside, keeps the cold outside and vice versa.

Other Repairs

Butyl tape is also called dum-dum tape for its putty-like qualities. It can be used to hold fuel lines up and away from engine parts in some situations.
