Centrecoat Overbanding Tape

Centrecoat Overbanding Tape (non HAPAS Approved) has been formulated for application to asphalt roads to prevent water ingress and progressive fretting following repairs. Prevents water ingress immediately extending the life of the repair to paths and roads.

Application method is to heat the Over Banding Tape with a gas torch, and allow to cure for 10 minutes before return to service. Overbanding Tape is also known as Hot Asphalt Joint Tape.

Best Uses

Centrecoat Overbanding Tape is suitable for application to roads, pavements, playgrounds and secondary roads. Centrecoat Overbanding Tape is applied to the joints in tarmac surfaces to prevent the ingress of water.  Water ingress, especially when it freezes, causes not only fretting but also cracking to the surface leading to the breakdown of the tarmac.

As Overbanding Tape cures within seconds, return to service is in a matter of minutes.

Centrecoat Overbanding Tape contains a non slip aggregate to reduce any slip hazard, and further non slip aggregate can be hand cast to the tape whilst it is still warm to increase its anti-slip properties. The ideal application temperature for Overbanding Tape is 190°C which can be measured with a Non-Contact Infrared IR Thermometer.

Preparation

Use a stiff broom or brush before application of Overbanding Tape. Also remove any dirt and debris from the joints and surrounding road surface. Ensure that the surface of the road is dry before application. It may be necessary to use a gas torch to dry the cracks and surrounding area.

Application

Apply Overbanding Tape by hand or application roller following the line of the joint. When the joint is covered, cut off from the roll and press down thoroughly.  The use of a wall paper roller may help the tape adhere. Remove the interleaving film from the tape. Where abrupt changes in direction occur, cut the tape with a stanley knife and start a new section, overlapping the end of the previous section by 50mm.
