Introduction
As an essential sealing and waterproofing material in construction, industrial, and household applications, the selection of flexible flashing tape directly impacts the durability and safety of projects. Kejian, as a professional manufacturer, understands the varying performance requirements across different scenarios. This article analyzes core dimensions such as environmental temperature, UV resistance, surface material, and safety standards to help achieve optimal sealing results across industries.

Environmental Temperature
The performance of flexible flashing tape is closely tied to its operational temperature range. For example, in cold regions (e.g., northern winters), the material must withstand extreme low temperatures (below -30°C) to avoid cracking or detachment due to contraction. In high-temperature environments (e.g., industrial equipment or tropical areas), the tape should resist sustained heat above 80°C to prevent softening or deformation.
Recommendation: Clarify the temperature range of your application environment and prioritize products labeled as "wide-temperature compatible" to ensure stability under extreme conditions.

UV Resistance
Long-term exposure to outdoor sunlight can degrade flashing tape due to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, leading to aging, brittleness, or failure. Thus, UV resistance is a critical indicator for outdoor applications.
Recommendation:

1. Choose products with UV stabilizers or anti-UV coatings.
2. Verify compliance with industry testing standards (e.g., ASTM G154 accelerated aging test) to guarantee a UV-resistant lifespan exceeding 10 years.

Surface Material
The surface material of flashing tape affects its sealing performance, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation. Common materials include:

• Aluminum foil base: Heat-resistant and puncture-proof, ideal for industrial pipelines or high-temperature roof areas.
• Polymer coatings (e.g., butyl rubber): Highly flexible, suitable for irregular structures or vibrating surfaces.
• Lead-free eco-friendly materials: RoHS-compliant, recommended for residential or public buildings with strict environmental requirements.
  Recommendation: Select materials based on mechanical stress and chemical exposure in your application.

Safety Standards
Compliance with safety regulations is vital. Key certifications include:

1. Fire resistance: Meet UL 94 or GB 8624 fire safety standards to prevent combustion.
2. Environmental certifications: Ensure lead-free compliance and RoHS standards to avoid harmful substance release.
3. Industry standards: Adhere to ASTM, ISO 9001, or other international quality management systems.
   Recommendation: Request complete test reports from suppliers to confirm compliance with local regulations.
