Does leak repair tape work?
Leak repair tape is effective in specific situations, but it is necessary to choose the appropriate tape type and usage method based on the specific situation.
Types and applicable scenarios of leak repair tape:
Strong waterproof leak repair tape: This tape is suitable for household scenarios such as kitchen leaks. It is simple and easy to use, only needs to be attached to the leaking area, has strong durability, can maintain adhesion for a long time, and can resist friction and pressure.
Waterproof tape: suitable for balcony water leakage and other issues. Waterproof tape is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, but it is necessary to ensure that the surface of the pipeline is dry and the inlet valve is closed before use. The effectiveness also depends on the integrity of the plastic film during construction and operation, which may require additional protective layers to prevent damage.
ZSG-40 Leak Sealing Tape: Made of polymer waterproof synthetic rubber material, it has the characteristics of strong tensile strength, deformation resistance, low temperature resistance, and high temperature resistance. It can perform leak sealing and repair under temperate pressure conditions, and is suitable for emergency leak sealing of various pipelines, containers, and equipment.
Limitation:
Leak repair tape is suitable for small, non structural water leakage problems, such as water pipe interface leakage, roof cracks, etc. Its high viscosity and pressure resistance can form short-term seals on clean and dry surfaces.
If the cause of water leakage is complex (such as internal wall leakage or foundation problems), it is difficult to cure it solely with adhesive tape, and long-term use may result in failure due to aging, temperature differences, or mechanical stress.
