What is Butyl Tape?
Butyl Tape is a flexible, rubber-based adhesive that’s perfect for sealing and repairing almost anything. Its unique properties make it highly effective for both indoor and outdoor use. Unlike regular tapes, Butyl Tape remains tacky in both high and low temperatures, providing a strong bond to nearly all surfaces—metal, wood, tile, plastic, and more.
Made of pure Butyl Rubber and an upgraded aluminum foil cover, ADHES Butyl Tape is designed to be thicker, heavier, and stronger than many similar products. It’s waterproof, UV resistant, and offers long-lasting durability, making it ideal for a wide range of repairs.
What Can You Use Butyl Tape For?
The versatility of Butyl Tape is one of its strongest points. Here’s a list of common uses:
● Roof Leaks: Fix leaks on rooftops, RVs, or boats with ease.
● Window Sealing: Seal cracks and gaps in windows to prevent drafts and leaks.
● Gutters and Downspouts: Use it to seal small holes in gutters, downspouts, and other outdoor fixtures.

How to Use Butyl Tape: Step-by-Step Guide
Using Butyl Tape is simple! Follow these easy steps for effective repairs:
Clean the Surface: Make sure the surface you’re applying the tape to is dry, clean, and free of grease or dust. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely.
Cut the Tape to Size: Measure the area you need to seal and cut the tape accordingly. Remember, you can always trim more later, so start with a little extra.
Apply the Tape: Peel off the protective packaging and press the tape firmly onto the surface. Make sure to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles as you go to ensure a secure seal.
Press Down and Seal: Once the tape is in place, press down along the edges to ensure full contact and a tight seal. No additional tools are needed!
And that’s it! You’ve now successfully applied Butyl Tape for a waterproof, long-lasting fix.
How to Remove Butyl Tape
If you ever need to remove Butyl Tape, don’t worry—it’s simple! Use a plastic putty knife to loosen the edges, then apply some adhesive remover or dish soap to dissolve the adhesive. Wipe away any leftover tape and clean the surface, and you’re good to go!
