ZIP System™ Flashing Tape
ZIP System flashing tapes are not your average industrial tapes. Made with advanced acrylic adhesion specially formulated for application over a wide temperature range, ZIP System tapes are pressure-activated to create a powerful bond that gets stronger over time. When used as part of a ZIP System building enclosures system, they are covered under a 180-day Exposure Guarantee and 30-year limited warranty[1].
