Question 1

What exactly is Henkel Polybit Bitutape 165PVC 10m x 150mm x 1.5mm, and where would I typically use it?

Accepted Answer

Henkel Polybit Bitutape 165PVC is a high-performance waterproofing tape made from a bitumen–polymer blend. It creates durable, watertight seals on substrates such as concrete, wood, metal, asphalt, and similar surfaces. It’s suitable for roofing, exterior walls, decks, basements, and other outdoor or wet-area applications where a flexible, long-lasting waterproof barrier is needed.

Question 2

What surfaces does Bitutape adhere to best, and do I need any surface prep before applying?

Accepted Answer

Bitutape adheres well to concrete, wood, metal, asphalt and masonry when properly prepared. Before application, clean the substrate to remove dust, dirt, oil and moisture. If needed, lightly abrade glossy surfaces and ensure the area is dry. For optimal adhesion, prime very smooth or porous surfaces according to project needs.

Question 3

How should I install this tape for a reliable waterproof seal? Any simple steps I should follow?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Step 1: clean and dry the area. Step 2: cut the tape to the required length. Step 3: press the tape onto the substrate with a brush or roller, ensuring full contact and removing air voids. Step 4: work from one end to the other, smoothing as you go. Step 5: re-check seams and joints for continuous adhesion. For irregular shapes, mold the tape gently to fit curves and edges.

Question 4

Can I use Bitutape indoors as well as outdoors, and how does it perform in different weather conditions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Bitutape is designed for both interior and exterior use. It offers UV resistance, moisture resistance and performance across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for harsh weather, strong winds and rain. It’s built to maintain a watertight seal in outdoor environments and tolerate indoor humidity when applied correctly.

Question 5

Is the tape flexible enough to seal around curves or irregular shapes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The Bitutape formulation is designed to be highly flexible and can be stretched and contoured to accommodate different sizes, shapes and joints. This makes it effective for sealing around corners, edges and irregular substrates.

Question 6

What kind of durability can I expect—UV exposure, moisture, and temperature extremes?

Accepted Answer

The tape is engineered to withstand UV exposure, moisture and temperature variations. It’s designed to provide a long-lasting waterproof seal even in challenging outdoor conditions, while maintaining adhesion and performance over time.

Question 7

If the tape gets damaged, how do I repair or re-seal it?

Accepted Answer

For repairs, clean the damaged area, dry it completely, and apply a fresh piece of Bitutape over the damaged spot, pressing firmly to ensure a seamless bond. For larger damages, remove the damaged portion and reapply tape over the patch, ensuring continuous adhesion at joints and overlaps.

Question 8

What safety precautions should I follow when applying Bitutape?

Accepted Answer

Wear appropriate PPE such as gloves and eye protection. Ensure good ventilation when applying in enclosed spaces. Keep away from open flames or heat sources during installation, as bitumen-based products can be flammable before fully cured. Follow local safety guidelines and store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Question 9

Are there any safety or compliance details I should know, like material safety data or VOC content?

Accepted Answer

Bitutape products typically come with a material safety data sheet (MSDS) and technical data sheet (TDS) outlining handling, storage and safety recommendations. They are designed to be used in accordance with standard building practices and local codes; ensure you follow any local fire-safety and ventilation requirements during application.
