Seals Decking Screws
Pressure-sensitive 20 mil butyl waterproof membrane, containing no asphalt or VOCs, self-seals around nail and fastener penetrations. -
Provides a Barrier Between Metal and Wood
Corrosive chemicals like alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) and copper azole (CA), commonly used in pressure-treated wood, can corrode steel joist hangers and other metal hardware. Installing Imus Seal Butyl Joist Tape between metal and wood creates a barrier to prevent contact. -
