Introducing the RS PRO Protection Tape, a high-quality and professional vapour sealing solution for many applications in commercial and residential environments. Designed as a thin, orange polythene tape with an aggressive rubber resin adhesive, the tape allows for optimum performance when in use as vapour barrier protection or joining and sealing applications on building sites. In addition to this, the tape is resistant to water and UV resistant making it ideal for environments with exposure to the elements like work sites. Thanks to its excellent properties, is easy to use and tear, and is conformable at low temperatures when awkward shapes or silhouettes require taping, as well as offering excellent adhesion to most surfaces.

Protection tape is used for all types of vapour and fume sealing applications across a range of environments. Because of this, the tape is generally designed for high-temperature applications and often has UV and water-resistant properties, while creating a secure seal, thanks to the commonly used aggressive adhesive on the tape that adheres to most surfaces. Protective tape is most often used in industries like:

• Damp-proof membrane joining


• Joining and sealing polyethylene sheeting


• Strapping of aluminium tubing


• Joining temporary dance floors


• Manual splicing of films within the plastics industry including core starting and end tabbing


• Reinforcing pallet wrapping films
