Green-Zip Tape

摘要

It's hard to get simpler in conception and execution than Green-Zip Tape. The product is a substitute for the joint-compound tape that has been used between gypsum board panels since the introduction of prefabricated plasterboard in the early 1930s. The product impressed all three jurors.rnCristobal Correa noted that the product is one step in a new process that allows for the reuse of drywall-creating demountable partitions. In fact, builders can reuse the metal studs, tracks, and screws as well. A releasable adhesive is applied to the middle studs, while screws are used only to attach the edges of the boards. Green-Zip Tape is applied-much like ordinary tape-with joint compound float applied over it. But Green-Zip Tape is extended 3 inches beyond the bottom of the panel and can be hidden under the carpet or behind a base. When it's time to demount the wall, you simply expose the end of the tape and peel it off-exposing the board's edges and screws for simple disassembly. The only material that can't be reused is the joint compound.
