With ISO-BLOCO HYBRATEC, ISO-Chemie is setting a new benchmark in terms of multi-functional tape 4.0. This innovative hybrid technology combines the high resistance to air and driving rain provided by window connection films with the optimum expansion force and high long-term capacity to absorb movement of pre-compressed PUR soft foam.
“ISO-BLOCO HYBRATEC combines the quality features of premium window connection films with the benefits of high quality BG 1 and BG R-certified multi-functional joint sealing tapes”, explains Inge Knorn, Head of Marketing at the successful sealing specialist. ISO-BLOCO HYBRATEC stands out from conventional multi-functional joint sealing tapes with its exceptional functional characteristics.
100% reliability in terms of energy efficiency and resistance to air and driving rain
Multiple film barrier layers make the 3-layer tape totally air tight on the room side (a-value of 0.00 m3/[h·m·(daPa)n]). Uncontrolled convection heat losses or draughts via the window connection joint are thus no longer an issue. This should be particularly welcomed by building owners since the strict separation of internal and external climates brings considerable energy savings, all in line with the requirements of the Building Energy Act. This airtight joint sealing also has a positive effect on the building’s energy passport and the blower door test results.
In the functional area, the innovative tape has excellent acoustic and thermal insulation values while, in the weather protection layer, it offers outstanding resistance to driving rain (1,050 Pa). This important aspect can represent a far-sighted product solution in view of advancing climate change with the associated violent storms and torrential rain.
