COFAIR
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about COFAIR from 3G Electric.
What surfaces are COFAIR roof repair tapes compatible with?
COFAIR roof repair tapes are designed for use on thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membranes, as well as metal, OSB, rigid extruded polystyrene, and rigid PVC surfaces. The specific compatible surface material varies by SKU: for example, the UBW410 tape is compatible with TPO, while the UBB425 tape is compatible with metal. Always verify the compatible surface material listed in the product specifications before application to ensure proper adhesion and performance.
What is the thickness of COFAIR roof tapes, and why does it matter?
All COFAIR roof repair tapes have a 30-mil thickness. This thickness provides sufficient durability to resist punctures and tears during installation and service, while remaining flexible enough to conform to irregular surfaces on a roof. A 30-mil tape is a standard choice for patching TPO membranes, offering a balance between strength and ease of handling for maintenance crews.
Are COFAIR tapes UV-protected, and how does that affect their lifespan?
Yes, COFAIR tapes are UV-protected, as indicated in the product specifications. UV protection prevents degradation from sunlight exposure, which is critical for roof repairs exposed to direct sunlight. This feature extends the tape’s service life by resisting cracking, fading, and loss of adhesion over time. For long-term repairs, UV protection is essential to maintain the seal’s integrity.
What sizes are available for COFAIR roof repair tapes?
COFAIR roof repair tapes are available in widths of 4 inches and 6 inches, with lengths of 10 feet or 25 feet per roll. For example, the UBW410 is 4 inches wide by 10 feet long, while the UBW625 is 6 inches wide by 25 feet long. These sizes cover common repair scenarios, from small punctures to longer seam repairs. Multiple rolls can be ordered for larger areas.
Can COFAIR tapes be applied in cold weather?
COFAIR tapes are self-adhesive and designed for peel-and-stick application. While the manufacturer does not specify a minimum application temperature, TPO repair tapes generally perform best when applied at temperatures above 50°F (10°C) to ensure proper adhesion. In colder conditions, the tape may become less flexible and adhesion may be reduced. For cold-weather applications, consult the product’s technical data sheet or contact 3G Electric for guidance.
