Typar Construction Tape, 2-1/2 in. x 180 ft. Roll
Typar Construction Tape seals the seams, overlaps and edges of house wrap and sheathing so air and moisture stay out of the wall. The adhesive is pressure-sensitive and grabs on contact, and the edge tears by hand, so no knife is needed on the ladder. This roll is 2-1/2 in. (63.5 mm) wide by 180 ft. (55 m) long.
It is part of the Typar Weather Protection System and is the tape to use on Typar house wrap and flashing.
