Question

how does this work?

Accepted Answer

Product description:
Moss Tape is a honeycomb pattern, which when pressed on the surface, allows you to shape the tape in all directions freely and easily. Thanks to this technology, the flexibility of copper is comparable to that of lead tapes. The adhesive layer is made of butyl, which is characterized by high viscosity and adhesion to the surface. Roll length 5000mm (5 meters), width 150mm.

Application:
After some time, atmospheric conditions make the tiles an ideal place for moss or other lichens. This process although very slow is harmful to the roof. During the rooting of these tiny organisms small, microscopic cracks are formed. The roof loses its durability and aesthetic value. Moss and lichen cause the water to not flow freely from the roof. This has a negative impact on the tiles and on the functioning of the entire roof structure.

Chemical properties of copper:
On the top, copper forms a natural protective layer (patina) composed of alkaline copper salts such as copper carbonate, copper sulfate or, near the sea, copper chloride, which protect the metal very well against the aggressive effects of the atmosphere. The color of the protective layer changes with time - from red-brown, through dark brown to green. The speed of patina formation depends on the conditions (air composition, humidity and dust in the air). It lasts from 4 years in marine conditions, 8 years in industrial conditions, 15 years in urban conditions and even 30 years in rural conditions.

Erosion of the protective coating of copper:
The average erosion rate of the protective coating depends on weathering conditions and is about 0.8 µm in marine conditions, about 2.0 µm in industrial conditions, about 0.8 µm in urban conditions, and about 0.4 µm in rural conditions.

Desired action:
Erosion of the protective coating occurs due to chemical reactions and thermal movement of the metal sheet. During these processes, copper salts (copper carbonate, copper sulfate, and copper chloride) are washed away by rain and settle on the elements below the copper line. The salts provide very good protection against mosses and other lichens. This process is 100% natural and environmentally friendly. Every time it rains, the roof is coated with a layer of alkaline copper salts, so that it will serve you for longer.
