Environmental compatibility
Basically, there has been a general change towards environmentally friendly products in civil engineering in recent times. The use of products containing solvents, for example, has declined considerably. They are only used in areas where they cannot be replaced.
Products whose process is based on a chemical function are also used to a lesser extent. Here, pre-compressed sealing tapes have an advantage because their application is based on physical processes.
Furthermore, sealing products make a significant contribution to positively influencing the indoor climate and thus significantly improve the energy efficiency of a building. This contributes to further reducing the global environmental impact.
