  • Publication number: 20100109249
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a strip for connecting and/or sealing a joint. Said strip comprises a first layer and a reinforcement element. Said strip having a first surface and a second surface, said first and second surfaces have a longitudinal extension and a transverse extension, said longitudinal extension having longitudinal sides, the longitudinal sides comprises edge means. Said first layer and/or edge means is made of polymeric material. Furthermore, said first layer and edge means hermetically cover the reinforcement element, and said edge means during the connecting and/or sealing of the joint provide a slope, said slope extending from the first surface downwards against a plane, said plane substantially being aligned with the second surface, so that the edge means enhances the adhesion of the strip to the joint. The invention also relates to methods for manufacturing the strip as well as to uses of said strip.
