Eurostrip - Sealing Tape
From Accessories
Eurostrip is a specially developed sealing tape used in concrete construction elements to seal expantion joints, pipe culverts and other construction technological breaks that are constantly or periodically exposed to pressure and surface water. The tape is made of bentonite, a natural clay mineral. The special fillers and additives are binding agents.

Products Details
The product replaces traditional sealing systems, e.g. PVC tapes.
The contact with water causes the tape to activate and increase its volume. The swelling tape puts pressure on the weld and seals it. Moreover, Eurostrip penetrates deeply into small cracks and shrinkage cracks. The swelling and shrinking process are reversible, which allows the tape to be used where contact with water occurs periodically.
Features
- High swelling capacity,
- Self-initiating action – it penetrates into all crevices and voids,
- The material does not age – it swells even after decades,
- Quick and easy assembly.
Use
It can be used to seal:
- Expansion joints between concrete slabs and vertical walls,
- Expansion joints in-between two materials, e.g. concrete to concrete, stone to concrete or steel to concrete,
- Heading joints between steel pipes and concrete bodies such as used in swimming pools, settling tanks, sumps, etc.,
- Joints in tunnels, dams and waterworks, including tanks used for drinking water.
Assembly
The bentonite tape is laid in the middle of the working gap inside the reinforcement. Very uneven substrates should be smoothed, e.g. with levelling compound. When laying, keep the cover between the edges of min. 8cm on each side. Do not overlap – cut the ends at the joint. Then place the mounting grid on the tape and fasten with steel pins or nails every 25 cm. Adhesive fixing is also possible.
Once Eurostrip has been laid, the concrete can be laid immediately. The minimum thickness of concrete to be used with Eurostrip is 7cm.
