The “machine-extruded bitumen joint tape” process ables watertight joints during the implementation of new bituminous pavement coverings, by extruding a bituminous strip, on the edge at the connection between 2 strips. Applying machine-extruded bitumen joint tape is faster and more precise than traditional hot seam casting methods. It is also more durable than bridging. As its tightness is guaranteed, the machine-extruded bitumen joint tape also offers an alternative when warm strip connections are required.
