HydroFlash^® UV+

HydroFlash UV+ is a premium, high-performance flashing tape formulated with acrylic adhesive for extreme environmental conditions. It is essential to use a UV-stable flashing tape for open-joint cladding applications to ensure the durability and resilience of the building envelope.

HydroFlash UV+ boasts a 12-month UV rating, allowing the tape to be exposed before the siding goes up. Additionally, this tape is vapor permeable – allowing trapped moisture to dry towards the exterior of the envelope. The characteristics of this premium flashing tape prevent mold and rot behind critical penetration points like windows and doors.
