Saint-Gobain Imptek, a leading company in waterproofing, light construction and road solutions, renews the image of its double-sided asphalt tape "Fazband".. With this change, the brand seeks to strengthen its positioning as an integral multipurpose solution, by making more clearly visible all the functionalities it offers: acoustic insulation, waterproofing and fastening.

"This evolution of Fazband responds to new market demands and trends in efficient, sustainable and comfort-oriented construction. Its new, ultra-adhesive version communicates all its properties more clearly and directly, consolidating it as a versatile solution, easy to install and aligned with modern standards of habitability," says Mauricio Beltrán, Business Developer of Light Construction Business at Saint-Gobain Imptek.

It should be noted that Fazband adapts to both traditional and lightweight construction, and is designed to face two of the main challenges of the sector: noise and humidity. With a complementary plus of use to fix any object. In this way, Fazband is presented as an ally to combat these challenges in Ecuador and international markets. According to INEC, 3 out of 10 homes in Ecuador report acoustic problems, while 85% of buildings have suffered water damage.

The line includes five presentations: 10 meter rolls in widths of 2.5 cm, 5 cm, 7.5 cm, 10 cm and 65 cm.

Light construction applications:

• Cutting of acoustic bridges in metal profiles.
• Sealing of perimeters and irregularities.
• Support for fixing gypsum boards, fiber cement and agglomerates.
• Vibration absorption and reduction.
• Vapor barrier thanks to its high density polyethylene core.

Applications in traditional construction and general uses:

• Waterproof protection for furniture in kitchens and bathrooms.
• Hermetic seals on windows and doors.
• Fixing of objects by its double ultra adherent face in interiors and exteriors.
• Soundproofing solutions for the automotive industry.

Thanks to its attributes, Fazband elevate the comfort experience to the next level in every space where it is used. This band is unique in the Ecuadorian market and testimony to the constant innovation and high quality of Saint-Gobain Imptek products.
