BAL-29 rubber tape is a fire resistant product conforming to BAL-29 requirements
BAL-29 sponge rubber self adhesive tape manufactured by Gardiner Australia.
BAL-29 tape is a soft & conformable, so allows tolerance variation of mismatched surfaces when sealing water air or dust.
BAL-29 rubber tape can be used to seal gaps around windows & where wall & roofs join.
BAL-29 rubber sponge is an excellent all-round sealing material as well so can be used in domestic construction, effective against drafts and insulation breaks. It is used in applications such as truck and transport bodies, caravans, RV trailers and campers, heating and air conditioning units, duct work, refrigeration and cool boxes, boats, fibre glass components and industrial packaging.
