Expansion Joint and Crack Tape
The Ultimate Joint and Crack Sealant System
Excellent Chemical and Temperature
Resistance for Joint or Crack Sealing
The FluoroGrip® Joint and Crack Sealing Systems provides a highly chemical and temperature resistant method for sealing joints or cracks in compatible materials and substrates such as concrete.
FluoroGrip Joint Tape is a fluoropolymer-based tape manufactured with advanced technology pressure sensitive adhesive for “peel-and-stick” ease of use. It is the ideal replacement for traditional chemical resistant caulks, offering all the advantages of FluoroGrip linings such as:
- Elastomeric (to 330% elongation)
- Superior reliability of a fully fluorinated material
- Highest resistance to harsh chemicals
- Temperature resistance to 450° F
- Easier installation than traditional sealants
- Reduced labor and installation costs
- No VOCs and / or hazardous solvents – safer
FluoroGrip Joint Tape protects against corrosive/reactive liquids leaking into expansion, control joints and cracks in concrete and other materials. It stands up to a wide range of harsh chemicals such as organic and inorganic acids, solvents and more. Review the PDF flyer below for additional information.

Installation Instructions
- Clean and remove unsound surfaces – high pressure water, grit blasting, grinding or sanding.
- If no existing primer is present, one can be applied to the concrete (Figures 1 and 2). If no primer is to be used, the Mx-Membrane joint tape only requires that the concrete be
prepared to Nace No. 6 (Figure 3). - Remove backing from sealant tape and apply over joint or crack (typically 4 to 6 inches wide). Activate
pressure sensitive adhesive with roller or burnishing tool, using moderate pressure. - Edge Sealing Procedures for FluoroGrip® joint tape:
Figure 1 – Saw cut terminate the tape and seal tape edges with a fluoroelastomer caulk
or equivalent.
Figure 2 – Apply chemically resistant primer over the joint and seal tape edges with a fluoroelastomer caulk or equivalent.
Figure 3– Apply fluoroelastomer caulk or equivalent.
