GIB RocTape 50 X 75mm

Description

GIB RocTape A new way to reinforce plasterboard joints. 

GIB Roc Tape is bedded in similar to GIB Paper joint tape and can be installed using hand tools or mechanical tools.  Both GIB RocTape and GIB Paper joint tape are approved for use in all GIB Systems.

Jointing tapes are an important component in a GIB System, providing critical strength between plasterboard sheets to aid in resisting structural movement and therefore it is important to select the most appropriate jointing tape for the application.

GIB Roc Tape is a matt fibreglass tape that uses random fibre placement to achieve superior mechanical strength for flat joint applications. GIB jointing compounds can permeate through the GIB RocTape matt, creating a very strong joint through reinforcing the GIB jointing compound. This means less cracking and cosmetic defects, resulting in fewer call backs, saving time and money.

A matt fibreglass joint tape (nonwoven) is very different in performance to the (woven) square mesh fibreglass joint tape.  Some square mesh fibreglass tapes are pre-glued.  The woven square mesh fibreglass joint tape is not recommended for reinforcing plasterboard joints by Winstone Wallboards and AS/NZS 2589-2017.

GIB Roc Tape is suitable for flat plasterboard joints.  For corner joints use GIB Levelline, GIB Goldlin, GIB UltraFlex, or GIB Paper joint tape.

GIB RocTape advantages:

–       Makes the joint mechanically strong

–       Faster drying times

–       No entrapped air bubbles under the tape

–       No swelling or shrinkage due to water absorption

–       Eliminates inadequate compound under the joint tape, reducing tape adhesion failure

–       Coloured yellow for easy identification
