Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0399952A1] For sealing or covering openings in a construction, a permanently elastic strip consisting of a base layer (1) and a foamed-material layer (2) of open-cell foam structure is used. The foamed-material layer (2) is, on the one hand, watertight and allows, on the other hand, water vapour to pass through. The foamed-material layer is preferably composed of PVC and has a diffusion resistance value (SD) equal to or less than 1.3 m. <IMAGE>
