Aggressive Tape for Road & Street Repair
MarMacʼs Road Tape (also known as Seal Tape) is a reinforced mastic or butyl membrane used for the repair street joints and cracks. It is also an excellent choice for the installation of piezoelectric traffic counters.
Road Tapeʼs integrated adhesive component aggressively adheres to concrete and asphalt surfaces, making Road Tape a long-term repair solution. For application temperatures under 55° F, use of MarMacʼs RB Adhesive Primer is recommended.
The product is available in two versions to suit your needs: Standard Road Tape, for warm weather and temperate zones; and Winter Road Tape 53B, for cold weather applications. Please refer to the necessary section for version details.

Store in its original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area.
The surface of the structure to be sealed should be clean of dirt and debris. The surface should be as dry as possible in field conditions. The protective release film shall be removed from the edge of the tape and be applied centering the joint gap or crack. Continue to remove the release film as the wrap is applied, while keeping hand tension to prevent wrinkling, ensuring adhesion and alignment. For installation below 55°F, use of MarMacʼs RB Adhesive Primer is recommended for increased adhesion.
