When seeking a durable, versatile, and aesthetically pleasing solution for roofing and flashing repairs, the Protecto Cool White Roof & Gutter Tape, offered by A1A Wholesale Supply, stands out as a top-tier choice. This high-performance self-adhered membrane is engineered to provide exposable waterproofing for a wide range of applications, eliminating the need for unsightly black asphalt marks.

Cool White Roof & Gutter Tape is an 18-mil thick membrane composed of a tough, cross-laminated High-Density white film laminated to an aluminum foil. This construction provides exceptional UV resistance and weatherability, boasting an impressive 10-year UV stability. Unlike traditional products, it features an asphalt-free adhesive that offers superior adhesion over standard flashing membranes.

One of its most significant advantages for contractors is its remarkable cold weather application capability: it can be applied down to -20°F (-28°C) without the use of primer, although surface adhesion testing is always recommended. This capability minimizes weather-related delays and increases job site efficiency. The adhesive is also effective on damp surfaces.

Key Features and Benefits for Contractors:

• High Performance & Durable: An 18-mil thickness and robust construction ensure long-lasting waterproofing.
• Exposed Application: UV rated for long-term exposure, making it suitable for visible applications.
• Asphalt-Free Adhesive: Eliminates unsightly black asphalt adhesive marks and lines. Offers superior adhesion over standard flashing membranes.
• Cold Weather Installation: Can be applied down to -20°F (-28°C) without primer.
• Versatile Adhesion: Compatible with and adheres to most construction surfaces including wood, concrete, CMU Block, OSB, Plywood, glass mat exterior sheathing products, foam insulation board, ICF, metal, and aluminum.
• Seals Fasteners: Passes ASTM D1970 for nail sealability, preventing water penetration through fastener points.
• Environmentally Friendly: No VOC’s, HFCC’s, or CFC’s.
• Thin Profile & Lightweight: Easy to handle and provides a low-profile finish.
• Low Permeance: Has a permeance of less than 0.05 (<.05).
• Wide Service Temperature Range: Up to 300°F (116°C).

Applications:

• Waterproofing Seams on Insulated Aluminum Roof Panels: Ideal for this specific application.
• Gutter Repair: Provides a durable and waterproof solution for damaged gutters.
• Skylight Flashing: Ensures a watertight seal around skylights.
• RV and Mobile Home Roofs: Excellent for repair and sealing on recreational vehicles and mobile homes.
• Sealing HVAC Units: Creates a tight seal around HVAC unit penetrations.
• Sealing Metal Buildings: Effective for sealing seams and joints on metal buildings.
• Window Flashing Applications: Can be used by following generally accepted methods for window flashing set by ASTM E 2112 or Protecto Wrap’s Super Stick installation instructions.

Installation Considerations:

• Preparation: Substrate surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of any foreign materials, gaps, sharp edges, and protrusions. Metal surfaces may need solvent wiping and/or abrasion. Protecto Wrap Company recommends field testing substrates for adhesion.
• Application: Remove the release liner and press in place. Firmly roll with a hand roller to smooth out wrinkles, air bubbles, or creases. It can be cut with a utility knife.
• Slope Requirement: A minimum slope of 1/2″ per foot is required.
• Limitations: Not recommended for use on substrates with standing water or visibly wet surfaces, dirty or frozen surfaces, or surfaces contaminated with grease, oil, or solvents. Do not use in areas of ponding water. Not recommended for direct contact with flexible PVC roofing membranes. Do not stretch the tape during application. While it can be applied in extreme cold/hot weather, Protecto Wrap Company does not recommend applying tapes below 0°F (-17°C) or above 125°F (51.6°C) due to health and safety reasons.
