Features and Benefits

  • High tensile strength to resist tearing, stretching and distortion.
  • Wafer-thin paper for easier joint treatment.
  • Roughened surface for superior bond.
  • Centre-creased to improve corner treatment.

USG Boral strongly recommends the use of paper tapes such as SHEETROCK® Joint Tape when embedding and second coating with air-drying type joint compounds. Eg. when using All Purpose Premix joint compounds.
