Waterproof tapes can be a useful tool for many different applications from making temporary repairs to leaky pipes, hoses, tents, tarps, or marine equipment.


Waterproof tapes can also be used to weatherproof gaps around windows to improve energy efficiency.  


What is Waterproof Tape?

Waterproof tapes are specially designed to resist water, creating a watertight seal and preventing moisture penetration. These tapes vary depending on the materials used and the intended application.


Waterproof sealing tapes are used in roof repairs, window and door sealing, pipe wrapping, weatherproofing foundations, and various outdoor applications such as boat and marine repairs.


Water Guard™ Heavy Duty Waterproofing Tape

BT-519 Water Guard™ is a heavy-duty waterproofing tape that can be applied and submerged underwater! BT-519 is commonly used to seal cracks and gaps in foundations to prevent water from seeping into basements or crawl spaces.


BT-519 is also popular for repairing leaks in pipes and plumbing fixtures, providing a temporary or permanent solution until more extensive repairs can be made.


Remember that while waterproof tape is versatile, it may not be a permanent solution for major repairs. Reach out to an Application Specialist to learn more about the right solution for your application.
