Vandex Construction Joint Tape

Vandex Construction Joint Tape, in combination with Vandex BB75 E elasticised waterproofing slurry forms and excellent and durable seal for construction joints and cracks.

Vandex Construction Joint Tape is a synthetic rubber strip, approximately 0.8 mm thick. It is covered on both sides with an alkali-resistant and flexible polyester fabric mat, which forms a web on the edges.

Application Layers

Vandex Construction Joint Tape is applied as follows:

1. A bed of Vandex BB75 E slurry is applied in a strip at least 20 cm wide over the construction joint.
2. Vandex Construction Joint Tape is rolled out over the BB75 E slurry (as shown in the picture). The fabric edges of the Vandex Construction Joint Tape are then embedded into the BB75 E.
3. A second coat of BB75 E is then applied over the Vandex Construction Joint Tape.

Benefits of using Vandex Construction Joint Tape include:

• Tested for joint openings up to 5 mm
• Can be applied on a damp substrate
• Resistant to hydrostatic pressure.
• Permanently flexible

Movement / Expansion Joints

Where movement or expansion joints need to be covered, Vandex Flextape should be used.
