BudVent™
Striped Adhesive Venting Tape
BudVent™ is a strong polypropylene, non-woven fabric with adhesive stripes that are covered by a release liner. It is highly permeable material. BudVent™ is specifically designed to cover vent holes and seams. It holds foam insulation in and allows more air and gas to escape during foam-in-place injection. BudVent™ venting tape allows foam to draw more efficiently throughout the entire cavity. By eliminating foam voids and allowing the foam to cure faster, BudVent™ reduces non-conformances, may lower foam usage, and decreases labor hours throughout the production process. Customers using other vent tape, Permagum and masking tape virtually eliminated foam leaks and cleanup time by switching to just BudVent™. Because it comes on a release liner, this product is typically used in custom roll widths and butt cut lengths.

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.
It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.
Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.
Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.
