For long-term storage of the 4EvaSeal Products, ideal storage temperatures are 50-90°F. Both products can be stored in colder temperatures for weeks and even months without affecting the long-term performance of the system. Since this tape system uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive the tackiness of the 4EvaSeal will be lower the colder the roll temperature is.

If the supplies to be used within a day can be kept a little warmer you will have higher initial adhesion which can help with inspections. If a cold tape is applied under tension to a cold surface, there may not be a high initial adhesion, but with time the adhesive will soften, and a permanent bond will form.
The installed tape system can be left exposed to temperatures as low as -40°F without affecting the performance or waterproofing performance of the tape.
Compared to competitive brands 4EvaSeal Tapes outperform in adhesion and tensile properties prior to and after aging.
