Bitac® multi-laminate road tape is a bituminous adhesive tape used in concrete and asphalt road pavements. It is a composite membrane of non-woven geotextile and self-adhesive rubberised bitumen. Bitac tape acts as a waterproofing, stress-relieving membrane between the old road surface and the widening, providing a long-term solution for road, bridge and culvert joints and repairs.
The combination of the self-adhesive geotextile impregnated with bitumen gives the product greater durability and high conformity to road surfaces. It has high strength and high elongation properties to ensure the waterproofing function and stress relief performance is maintained under the expected traffic loads.
