Applications of Isolontape 500 (self-adhesive tapes)
Profile sealing, junctions, acoustics, HVAC, pipes, anti-squeak and more.
Where to use Isolontape 500 and how to choose sizes
Typical tape thickness/width: 1–10 mm × 10–100 mm (master rolls up to 1 m wide with subsequent slitting). Application temperature: +10…+35 °C, service temperature: −60…+80 °C.
| Application | Recommended thickness | Typical width | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drywall profiles (dichtungsband) | 3 mm | 50 mm | Reduces vibrations/squeaks, seals the profile-to-wall joint. |
| Facade/partition junctions and details | 3–5 mm | 30–70 mm | Gap compensation and moisture protection (according to project detail). |
| Window/door mounting joints | 3–5 mm | 20–50 mm | Sealing and damping; airtightness class — according to the installation system. |
| Anti-squeak / damping (furniture, vehicles, appliances) | 1–3 mm | 10–30 mm | Self-adhesive backing speeds up assembly; reduces parasitic vibrations. |
| HVAC — joints and connections | 5–10 mm | 30–70 mm | Sealing and thermal break; joints of foil-faced systems closed with aluminium tape. |
| Pipes — wrapping / under clamps | 3–10 mm | 20–50 mm | Spiral wrap in 1–2 layers, protects against condensate and squeaks under clamps. |
| Acoustics — battens/joists, “floating” floor schemes | 3–5 mm | 30–50 mm | Reduces impact noise; avoid rigid bridges. |
| Interlayer pads / edge protection in transport | 2–5 mm | 10–50 mm | Protection against scratches/impacts; quick edge taping. |
Available options: LA/LM (foil / metallised film), variants with code N (balanced low-tack acrylic for dichtungsband). Roll length depends on thickness (typically 20–30 m).
3×50 mm tape along the profile perimeter. Reduced squeaks/vibrations, neat profile-to-wall junction, faster installation.
5 mm tape under flanges and duct joints as a local thermal and acoustic break; joints finished with aluminium tape — cleaner look, reduced losses.
2×20 mm strips applied to contact edges. Eliminated unwanted noises and vibrations, reduced customer complaints.
