Tesa Membrane Joining Tape 48mm x 50m
The perfect taping solution for our Sisalation VapaWrap and Ametalin Brane VHP membrane wraps.
tesa® 51497 is a premium self-wound joining tape designed for sealing of all forms of vapour permeable wraps. It is based on a blended PET/PE woven fabric backing that allows for quick and clean hand tearability, while maintaining a high tensile strength that avoids splitting over long term applications.
