Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) Flashing Tape
Description: PLIOSEAL™ SIP flashing tape is a laminate of a specially-formulated, permanently pressure-sensitive, cured butyl-based adhesive and a unique cross-laminated polyethylene membrane. The adhesive has been designed to have excellent specific adhesion to a wide range of plywood and oriented strand boards (OSB). The polyethylene film has excellent strength and temperature resistance. Together they provide an excellent barrier to air and water.
PLIOSEAL™ SIP flashing tape is available in standard roll form in widths of 4”, 6”, 9”, 12”, and 18”. The nominal thickness of the adhesive is 18 mils. Other widths and adhesive thicknesses are also available on a special order basis. All products are supplied on a high strength, specially-designed release liner.

Suggested Uses: Warm, moist interior air escaping into a roof panel can easily become trapped and condense when it comes into contact with cold exterior air. This condensation can promote rot in structural insulated panels (SIPs), as well as mold and mildew growth. Sealing the interior joints of wall-to-roof panels, as well as roof panel to roof panel, will reduce the potential for moisture collection in your SIP-constructed buildings.
PLIOSEAL™ SIP Flashing Tape, with its patented cured butyl rubber adhesive, is well-suited as an interior seam sealant for SIP construction, and prevents moist air from penetrating the seams between panels and along roof lines.
