Product overview
A molecular‑memory TPE elastomeric tape designed to absorb micro‑movements and maintain watertight continuity of structural joints in swimming pools, terraces and outdoor areas exposed to high dynamic stress.

Detailed description
Continuous elastic anti‑fracture tape with a central thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) strip bonded to a modified polypropylene non‑woven backing. The tape adheres to concrete, cementitious substrates and ceramic tiles when installed with permanently elastic, crack‑resistant epoxy gels such as PowerGel Pro Max or, alternatively, CrackRepair.

The multi‑layer construction combines a high‑surface‑area non‑woven facing for substrate adhesion with a highly deformable TPE core that provides enhanced transverse elongation while retaining longitudinal rigidity. The ultra‑thin profile allows installation beneath tiles and thin coverings. The product offers elevated chemical resistance suitable for aggressive environments.

Advantages / Features

• Crack bridging: continuous elastic profile engineered to resist crack transmission across joints.
• Simple bonding: compatible with concrete, cementitious substrates and ceramic tiles when used with recommended epoxy gels (PowerGel Pro Max or CrackRepair).
• Multi‑layer technology: modified polypropylene non‑woven backing combined with a central TPE elastomeric strip for optimized transverse elongation and longitudinal stability.
• Ultra‑thin profile: suitable for embedding below tile coverings and thin screeds.
• Chemical resistance: formulated for durability in chemically aggressive or chlorinated environments.
• Movement accommodation: molecular‑memory elastomeric behavior to absorb micro‑movements and preserve waterproofing continuity.

Technical specifications

• Product type: Continuous elastic anti‑fracture joint tape for waterproofing.
• Main material: Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) central strip.
• Backing: Modified polypropylene non‑woven with high specific surface area.
• Mechanical properties: High transverse elongation, longitudinal rigidity; elastomeric, molecular‑memory performance.

Applications

• Waterproofing structural joints in swimming pools and natation installations.
• Terraces, balconies and outdoor paved areas subject to thermal and mechanical movement.
• Shower trays and wet rooms where continuous waterproofing under tiles is required.
• Areas exposed to chemical or chlorinated environments (pools, treatment plants).
