Product evaluated by the CCMC Indicates that the product from this manufacturing facility has been evaluated by the CCMC
Conditions and limitations
The CCMC’s compliance opinion is bound by this product being used in accordance with the conditions and limitations set out below.
- The products can be used to tape butt joints in the Tyvek® HomeWrap® (see CCMC 12808-R) and the Tyvek® HomeWrap® – Air Barrier Material™ (see CCMC 12857-R). They are permitted to be used in new and existing residential construction, subject to the following conditions:
- the tape can be applied at temperatures as low as −10°C; however, adhesion increases with warmer temperatures; and
- the products’ shelf life is 1 year from the date of receipt by the customer when stored under optimum conditions of 21°C and 50% relative humidity.
- The products must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s current instructions, which include the following recommendations:
- for optimum adhesion, surfaces should be relatively clean and dry;
- do not apply to wet facing or wet wood;
- use of the 3M PA-1 Tape Wiper is recommended to ensure proper rub down of the tape;
- apply tape to all joints and tears in the substrate; and
- all joints must be butt joints not exceeding 10 mm wide or lap joints with the tape centered on the joint.
- Each roll must be identified with the manufacturer’s name and the CCMC Evaluation Report number at intervals not exceeding 300 mm.
Technical information
This evaluation is based on demonstrated conformance with the following criteria:
