Gyprock, an Australian plasterboard manufacturer, has released the Enviro Paper Jointing Tape.

Manufactured in Australia from 100% recycled paper, Gyprock’s Enviro Paper Tape is a more sustainable solution for setting plasterboard joints and angles, without compromising on performance.

Typically used to provide strength and to offer crack resistance in joints and corners, jointing tapes are bedded into a layer of Base Coat or All-Purpose compound before the second coat and topping coat is applied. They are also used in conjunction with patching compounds to repair dents, cracks and holes in plasterboard walls and ceilings.

The new paper tape is high tensile strength and features a rough surface that provides better adhesion and the creation of strong joints. The Enviro Paper Tape is also perforated to prevent air bubbles forming under the tape and is designed with a crease along the centre line to provide a high-quality finish on corners and improved performance in automatic taping tools.

Featuring an ivory-coloured paper face and brown paper-back, the tape is easy to identify for correct orientation when installing. The 52mm wide tape is available in 70m and 140m rolls to suit all project sizes.

Enviro Paper Tape can be used with all Base Coat and All-Purpose compounds and is recommended for all plasterboard joint and repair types. As buildings continue to have a massive impact on the environment, both in their construction and use, incorporating more sustainable solutions like the Gyprock Enviro Paper Tape can make a small but important difference.
