Description

IPG 1.88-Inch x 54.6-Yard Red Acrylic Solvent Sheathing and Vapor Barrier Tape

The IPG Red Acrylic Adhesive Sheathing Tape is a 3.0 mil industrial polypropylene film sealant engineered to create airtight and watertight lap seams across exterior house wraps, rigid foam insulation panels, and interior vapor barriers. Formulated with a aggressive solvent-based acrylic adhesive system, this 1.88-inch wide by 163.8-foot long construction tape bonds permanently to weather-resistive barriers and membrane surfaces to prevent air infiltration and moisture penetration around door frames and window rough openings. The UV-resistant red film construction ensures continuous structural adhesion and high-visibility joint identification across changing environmental temperature fluctuations.

Best Used For:

  • Exterior House Wrap Seaming: Sealing overlapping joints and perimeter edges on residential weather-resistive membranes to eliminate draft leakage.
  • Rigid Foam Insulation Panel Bonding: Joining butt seams on exterior foam insulation boards to construct a continuous thermal and moisture envelope.
  • Vapor Barrier and Film Repair: Patching tears, punctures, and mechanical cuts in polyethylene construction films and roll batt insulation facings.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Solvent-Based Acrylic Adhesive: Delivers aggressive quick-stick tack and permanent shear adhesion to smooth and textured building membranes.
  • Durable Polypropylene Backing: Tensile-rated 3.0 mil film construction resists tearing and jobsite abrasion during wall assembly installation.
  • Universal Weather Barrier Protection: Seals effectively across major house wrap brands, polyethylene sheeting, and rigid insulation materials.
  • Airtight and Watertight Seal: Stops draft migration and bulk water penetration around window flanging, door buck penetrations, and wall studs.
  • High-Visibility Red Color: Provides immediate visual verification for building envelope inspectors to confirm continuous joint coverage.
  • UV and Temperature Resilience: Maintains structural bond strength under direct site exposure and severe outdoor temperature swings.
