XPANDA 300 - 1mm - 9mm - 12.5 Metre rolls - 300 Pascals
Xpanda 300 is a pre-compressed open cell polyurethane foam backed roll with a self adhesive scrim tape to assist positioning. Heavily impregnated with chemically stabilized acrylics creating flame retardant properties, Xpanda 300 remains permanently elastic and will continually self adjust after installation to keep gaps closed.
An excellent expanding joint sealing alternative to polyurethane aerosol foam due to its clean and easy application as well as its cost-efficiency. This product is ideal for professional and DIY use for the installation of windows and door frames as well as for joining structural elements in residential and commercial construction. The measured performance of Xpanda 300 is rated at 300 Pascals. This product allows for sufficient joint ventilation which prevents the accumulation of mildew, has high UV resistance, and ages well without noticeable cracking or splitting over the years. This makes it ideal in climates with seasonal changes and noticeable expansion and contraction in joints.
Sealing with water and air:
- Exterior windows and doors (PVC, wood, aluminium).
- All types of installation: wall, rabbet and tunnel, new and renovation.
- Rolling shutter boxes, bay units.
- Precast concrete elements.
- External Thermal Insulation.
- Timber Frame Houses.
- Other applications (caravans, prefabricated constructions, etc.).
Performance:
-
- Impermeable to driving rain from 300 Pa
- Airtight, Weather, UV resistance – Class 2 NF P 85-570
- Fire resistant – B2 DIN 4102
- Temperature resistance – -40°C – +90°C
After application, this foam tape will expand to fill gaps and will adapt to uneven surfaces, providing thermal insulation.
Xpanda 1-9 will expand from 1mm in its compressed state to a maximum of 9mm once unwound and applied.
FAQs
What is the length of a roll?
12.5 Metres
What does Pascal mean?
The unit of force that the product has been tested to against wind and driving rain.
What is the lead time?
Next working day if ordered before 12pm
What do the numbers mean 1mm-9mm?
The first number (1mm) is the thickness of the foam in it's compressed state on the roll.
The second number (9mm) is the maximum expansion.
Why are the numbers on the roll different to your description?
On this sized roll you will see the numbers 1/3 - this is the range at which the product meets the 300 pascal rating for water and airtightness.
At what expansion will this product achieve air and water tightness?
Between 1 and 3mm expansion - after this it will start to lose it's properties and become a thermal insulation only.
Are any other widths available?
Yes, we cut this product to size so please contact us for more options.
Is Xpanda 600 Foam Tape BBA Approved?
Yes, please contact us if you require a copy of our certificate.
Is this Compriband?
Yes, this product is also referred to as Compriband, however, our product is known as Xpanda 600.
How do I store the tape?
Store between 1°C to 25°C
How does the temperature affect the foam?
Temperature affects the speed at which the foam will expand.
In cooler conditions it will take longer for the foam to expand, in this instance warming the foam can be useful to help speed up the expansion process.
In the summer months (hotter days) it will, of course, expand at a faster rate. In these conditions we recommend storing the foam in a cool area to aid in a more controlled installation and also to prevent unwanted expansion in the pack.
Once the roll has been opened the foam will begin to expand.
