Measure the joint width and depth at several points, then use the full variation to select the correct expansion range. If you are unsure, call 0330 128 1212 and the Dortech Direct team will help.

Compriband Tape is available in grey/anthracite and black. Grey or anthracite options may be subject to minimum order quantities.

Tremco-Illbruck Compriband Tape is an impregnated joint sealing tape designed for a wide range of movement joints, including window perimeter seals and other building applications.

The tape is primarily used in movement joints, window perimeter seals, and various other building and civil engineering applications.

The tape is weather-tight, offering protection against severe combinations of wind and rain, making it an effective external weather seal.

Yes, it has full BBA approval and meets the certification standard Cert 96/3309.

The tape expands to fill voids and gaps, providing minimum watertightness, airtightness, and also offering thermal and acoustic insulation properties.

Yes, Compriband Tape has a self-adhesive side to aid in its initial placement and positioning.

The tape is impregnated with a UV-stabilised resin, ensuring protection against UV degradation.

While its primary design is for building and civil engineering applications, it’s always best to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for any alternative uses.

Its unique combination of UV-stabilised resin impregnation, BBA approval, and versatility in application sets it apart from many other products.

The longevity of the tape can vary based on environmental conditions and the specifics of the application. However, its UV-stabilised resin ensures a longer lifespan compared to tapes without such protection.

Yes, with its self-adhesive side, the tape aids in initial positioning, making the installation process smoother.

The unique composition of Compriband Tape allows it to adapt to various temperature ranges, maintaining its integrity and sealing properties.

It’s advisable to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines, but typically, once the tape is fully adhered and set, it can be painted or covered as per the project requirements.

Like many construction materials, Compriband Tape may have a recommended shelf life. Always check the product packaging or consult the manufacturer for specific details.

The tape is designed to be water repellent, reducing the risk of mould growth and moisture intrusion.

The tape comes in various sizes to cater to different application needs. It’s best to check the product catalog or contact the manufacturer for specific dimensions.

While the tape has water-repellent properties, it’s essential to ensure that it’s suitable for specific high-humidity applications by consulting the product specifications.

Always ensure the application area is clean and free of debris. Use appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and safety glasses, and follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines.

For optimal adhesion and performance, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of dust or contaminants. However, always refer to the product’s installation guide for specific recommendations.

Expansion speed varies by product and ambient temperature. It is generally faster in warm conditions and slower in cold weather, so allow for site conditions when planning installation.

Yes. When the correct product and expansion range are specified, the flexible foam can compress and expand with the joint while maintaining contact with the surrounding surfaces.

In many correctly designed applications, Compriband can provide a clean and durable alternative to a wet-applied sealant. Suitability depends on the joint design, substrate and required performance.
