ADHESIVES
A Self-Adhesive Tape
MFM Building Products has introduced its Seal & Coat EiFS Tape. The tape is a self-adhering membrane composed of a polyester fabric laminated to a rubberized asphalt adhesive. According to the company, the fabric strengthens the material while providing a surface which bonds with most exterior coatings to provide a waterproof, self-sealing layer.

Seal & Coat EiFS Tape is designed to be used as a waterproof tape around doors and windows, taping panel seams and other openings. The product will adhere to most clean, dry surfaces including masonry, concrete, house wrap, foam insulation board, ICF, plywood, OSB, rigid vinyl, aluminum and other common construction materials, according to the company.

The tape has a thickness of 30-mils and can be applied in temperatures from 40 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. It is available in roll widths of 4-, 6- and 9 inches by 100-foot lengths.

COATINGS
The Look of Wood
Royal Building Products has introduced a new water-based stain that is low in volatile organic compounds (VOC) and achieves the look of wood grain on fiberglass and steel doors. The RoyalBond Tri-Stain uses a three-step process (base coat, stain coat and clear coat) that company officials say allows fabricators to create a factory-applied finish that replicates wood grain with a short drying time.

Tri-Stain is available in mahogany, dark mahogany, cherry, teal, espresso, walnut, bordeaux, hickory and dark oak.
