Leading Australian plasterboard manufacturer Gyprock announces the launch of the new Enviro paper jointing tape designed to offer a more sustainable solution for setting plasterboard joints, corners and angles, without compromising on performance.
Manufactured in Australia from 100% recycled paper, Gyprock’s Enviro paper tape provides strength and crack resistance in plasterboard joints and corners. Jointing tapes are bedded into a layer of base coat or all-purpose compound before the second coat and topping coat is applied. They are also used in conjunction with patching compounds to repair dents, cracks and holes in plasterboard walls and ceilings.
Gyprock’s new paper tape has high tensile strength and features a rough surface that provides better adhesion and stronger joints. Enviro paper tape is also perforated to prevent air bubbles from forming under the tape. A crease along the centre line provides a high-quality finish on corners and improved performance in automatic taping tools.
Featuring an ivory-coloured paper face and brown paper back, the tape is easy to identify for correct orientation when installing. The 52mm wide tape is available in 70m and 140m rolls to suit all project sizes.
Enviro paper tape can be used with all base coat and all-purpose compounds and is recommended for all plasterboard joint and repair applications. As buildings continue to have a massive impact on the environment, both in their construction and use, incorporating more sustainable solutions such as the Gyprock Enviro paper tape can make a small but important difference.
