Novia Ltd - Metallised BOPP Tape

Product Overview

Novia® Metallised BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) Tape is a high specification jointing tape available in cold weather and standard weather options. It is suitable for a wide range of applications where Novia membranes require sealing against air and water vapour ingress. Novia® Metallised BOPP tape is a high tack, highly tear resistant, low emissivity and low moisture vapour permeability lap sealing tape for use in Air & Vapour Control Layer’s (AVCL), Damp Proof Membranes (DPM) and Gas Barrier applications.

Novia® Metallised BOPP Tape has a high specification acrylic dispersion adhesive which gives excellent product performance. The use of a high quality metallised polyester also significantly improves the overall strength of the jointing tape, in comparison to traditional low tear strength aluminium foil tape.

Novia® Metallised BOPP Tape should be used in all AVCL, DPM and Gas Barrier applications as an edge and lap sealing tape. It should be used in conjunction with the Novia® Double Sided Butyl jointing and sealing tape. This tape must also be used when installing the Novia Methane Pro membrane, acting as a final seal against methane gas escaping from the construction.

Novia® Metallised BOPP Tape can be found on NBS Chorus and NBS Source software packages. They are available for specifying as additional products, and fall within a variety of relevant clauses.

Full installation and technical details can be found on the datasheets available for download below.
