Is Drywall Tape harmful to the human body?

1. Is Drywall Tape harmful to the human body?

① Drywall Tape is made of Glass Fiber woven fabric as the base material, which is soaked in polymer anti-emulsion coating. As a result, it has good alkali resistance, flexibility and high tensile strength in the longitudinal and latitudinal directions, and can be widely used for thermal insulation, waterproofing, fireproofing, crack resistance, etc. of interior and exterior walls of buildings. The Drywall Tape is mainly alkali-resistant glass fiber Fiber Glass, which is made of medium-alkali-free glass fiber yarn with a special organizational structure, and is then treated with high-temperature heat setting such as alkali resistance and reinforcing agents.

② Occasionally contacting the Drywall Tape is not a big problem, but long-term improper protection will cause greater harm. Glass fiber will irritate the skin, cause skin allergies and itching, and may penetrate into deep layers, causing greater damage. If inhaled into the respiratory tract, it may cause lung damage and cause digestive system diseases.
2. Characteristics of Drywall Tape
① Good chemical stability, resistance to alkali, acid, water, cement corrosion, and other chemical corrosion, strong bonding with resin, and easy to dissolve in styrene, etc.
②High strength, high modulus, light weight.
③Good dimensional stability, stiff, flat, not easy to shrink and deform, and good positioning.
④Good toughness. Good impact resistance.
⑤ Mildew-proof, insect-proof, fire-proof, heat preservation, sound insulation and insulation.
3. Main uses of Drywall Tape
① On wall reinforcement materials (such as fiberglass wall Fiber Glass, GRC wall panels, EPS interior and exterior wall insulation boards, gypsum boards, etc.).
② Reinforce cement products (such as Roman columns, flues, etc.).
③Granite, mosaic special Fiber Glass, marble back-Fiber Glass.
④Waterproof membrane cloth and asphalt roof waterproofing.
⑤Reinforced skeleton materials for plastic and rubber products.
⑥Fireproof board, grinding wheel base cloth, geogrid for highway pavement.
