Product Information

Full details

ClassicBond EPDM Pressure Sensitive Elastoform Tape is designed for roofing contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, professional-grade solution for waterproofing complex roof details like corners, pipe penetrations, and outlets. Its primary benefit is its exceptional flexibility and ability to mould perfectly to irregular surfaces for a watertight seal; however, users must note that it requires specific primer to function correctly and cannot be installed on surfaces that have not been properly cleaned and prepared.

FAQs

Do I need to use primer with this tape?

Yes, ClassicBond EPDM Primer (302060) is mandatory to ensure the pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds correctly to the EPDM surface.

How wide is the tape?

This specific variant of the Elastoform tape is 228mm wide.

Can I use this on non-EPDM surfaces?

This product is specifically designed for EPDM rubber roofing. Compatibility with other materials should be verified through the manufacturer's technical data sheets.

What is the maximum length of a single roll?

The tape is provided in one continuous piece up to 15.25 metres long.

Can I remove the tape if I make a mistake?

Because the adhesive is self-curing and high-strength, it is designed for a permanent installation. Removal may damage the underlying membrane.

Is a roller required for installation?

While not strictly required, a silicone hand roller is highly recommended to ensure uniform pressure and a reliable seal.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking to the substrate.

Ensure the surface was cleaned properly and that ClassicBond EPDM Primer was applied and allowed to reach the correct tackiness before application.

Air bubbles forming under the tape.

Use a silicone seam roller to apply firm, even pressure from the center of the tape outwards to force air out.

Difficulty molding around tight corners.

Warm the tape slightly in ambient conditions or use a heat gun on a low setting to increase the material's elasticity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to mould around irregular shapes
  • Self-curing adhesive creates a robust, long-lasting seal
  • Highly resistant to environmental degradation and UV light
  • Simplifies the waterproofing of complex roof details
  • Consistent quality from a trusted roofing brand

Cons

  • Requires the use of specific EPDM primer for adhesion
  • Surfaces must be perfectly clean and dry for effective bonding
  • Not intended for large-scale flat surface coverage
  • Adhesive is permanent and difficult to remove once cured

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum adhesion, the surface must be cleaned with a dedicated EPDM cleaner to remove all dust, oils, and debris. Before applying the tape, you must coat the area with ClassicBond EPDM Primer (302060) and allow it to become tacky. The tape is supplied in rolls up to 15.25 metres; for larger installations, calculate your total run and join segments with a proper overlap. Always store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature curing of the adhesive layer. When cutting the tape, use sharp, heavy-duty utility shears to avoid jagged edges that may lead to potential failure points.
