Bearer bond tape (sometimes referred to as joist flashing tape ) is an affordable solution that can protect a deck’s bearers and rim joists from wood rot while also preventing moisture penetration, sealing deck screws and reducing splitting due to freeze/thaw cycles.
A trustee acts much like the custodian for bonds or mutual funds, holding digital form of issuer’s reserve assets in digital format and operating according to an agreed upon protocol that sets fees and reserve ratios.
Water Proofing
When it comes to fixing leaks or patches, there is an array of tape options to consider when fixing leaks or patching areas. Duct tape is a go-to choice in the household and HVAC industries alike; however, it does not provide true waterproofing properties. Gaffer tape may also offer another viable solution but isn’t resistant enough against water, leaving behind sticky residue.
Selecting the proper waterproof tape for deck construction requires knowing what features to look out for. Butyl-based bearer bond tape provides superior moisture protection for joists and bearers to prevent costly timber damage – both are integral components in prolonging the lifespan of any deck structure.
Trex Protect joist and bearer tape provides essential substructure protection that will last the full lifespan of composite boards it supports, including blocking moisture intrusion while sealing fasteners to avoid freezing/thawing cycles and helping prevent split boards. Easy application ensures this tape provides adequate deck protection over time. Plus its strong rubberized backing clings securely to multiple surfaces including aluminum, steel, wood and fiberglass surfaces!
Structural Strength
Bearer bond tape serves a vital function when building decks: protecting timber from galvanized metal (joist hangers). It helps seal fasteners, prevents moisture penetration, eliminates splitting due to freeze-thaw cycles and is stronger than acrylic tape. Select a butyl-based tape with an easy self-adhesive backing which conforms easily to bearers and joists surfaces for long term durability.
An experimental thermosetting adhesive made with hyper-branched graft polymers blended with crosslinking agent Triglycidyl Isocyanurate was developed by mixing these substances, producing a novel thermosetting adhesive with improved crosslink density and toughness properties. This glue was tested on three-ply plywood samples to measure their shear strength; its results revealed that those containing an adhesive with hyper-branched crosslink structures had the greatest shear strength.
Super strong repair tape designed for bonding, sealing, patching and repairing all types of materials – it is used by Monster Energy Cup-Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck teams on race day! This self-adhesive material can be used on vinyl pools, awnings, conveyor belts, RV’s and car bodies; its use works on wet or dry surfaces-even underwater! Also excellent for sealing leaky faucets, filling cracks in plaster and cement walls, expanding joints as well as eliminating cracks; its high release backside allows it to be removed without harming its host surface!
Easy Installation
Bearer bond tape serves to safeguard joists, rim joists, stringers and ledger boards against timber rot and corrosion while simultaneously sealing deck fasteners to prevent moisture penetration or splitting due to freeze/thaw cycles. While there are various kinds of bearer bond tape available, butyl rubber tape such as Trex Protect is more durable than acrylic versions and easier to install; its hold up under higher temperatures without staining or oozing into screw holes than its competitors.
When selecting butyl-based bearer bond tape, look for self-adhesive options that adhere directly to boards to reduce cutting and overlap. Look for products with 25-year warranties to ensure a quality, long-term solution. Whenever possible, purchase self-adhesive butyl tape that has already been heated prior to use as this may make application simpler in cold temperatures and cutting should also be easy when it’s time for installation.
Low Cost
Bearer bond tape is both inexpensive and versatile, being utilized in various applications that would otherwise go untouched, joining surfaces together through means that are both safer and cheaper than rivets, welds or mechanical fasteners.
Bonding tapes offer manufacturers more strength and durability than other joining solutions, like rivets or welds. Self-curing adhesive tapes produce bonds as strong as their components they’re bonded to and sometimes up to 10x stronger. This strength allows manufacturers to add additional material into their products while creating more aesthetic results than would otherwise be achieved using rivets or welds.
Fully registered bonds require that an owner list their name on the ownership record in order to receive semi-annual interest payments, with their principal repayment of $1,000 being sent back upon maturity. Conversely, bearer bonds do not require this registration and instead feature coupons with each interest payment and coupon expiration date attached; when clipped and submitted with each interest payment these coupons are clipped off and sent directly back to the paying agent or their owners who ultimately get back the full $1,000 face amount of their bond at maturity.
What would happen if we combined the advantages of bearer bonds with the efficiency and fungibility of books-entry settlement? You would get an expansive marketplace populated with microintermediated underwriters, trustees, software developers, all competing to provide the best prices, collateral, reputation quality of execution etc. which in turn produces a global market of digital bearer financial instruments with risk grades attached.
