Aluminum Foil Tape Description

 

Aluminum foil tape is designed to provide excellent reflective properties, moisture resistance, and heat resistance. The 25 micrometer thickness of the aluminum foil provides a good balance between durability and flexibility. It's thicker than many standard foil tapes, offering better resistance to punctures and tears while still being able to conform to irregular surfaces and curves. The adhesive used is typically a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive known for its strong bonding properties and durability. 50mm width aluminum foil tape is ideal for most sealing tasks, allowing for sufficient coverage without excessive overlap.

The aluminum foil tape can withstand high temperatures and humidity conditions, making it suitable for use in HVAC systems. Both indoor and outdoor, this tape's acrylic adhesive strips cleanly away to leave a tidy finish.

Tape Applications:

HVAC Systems: Primarily used for sealing joints and seams in ductwork to prevent air leaks and improve energy efficiency. The tape acts as an excellent vapor barrier and reflects heat, which is crucial for maintaining temperature regulation within duct systems.

Thermal Insulation: Commonly used to wrap thermal insulation on pipes and ducts to enhance energy efficiency by reflecting heat and insulating against temperature extremes.

General Repairs: Its robust properties make it suitable for repairs that require a durable, moisture-resistant seal, such as in roofing, gutters, and even automotive applications.

Tape Features:

Enhanced Durability: The 25um thickness provides a sturdy barrier against physical damage and environmental factors, making it more resilient in various applications compared to thinner variants.

Flexibility: Despite its thickness, the tape remains flexible enough to mold to complex shapes and tight corners, making installation easier and more effective.
Temperature and Environmental Resistance: The acrylic adhesive offers reliable performance in extreme temperatures, typically ranging from about -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F), and resists degradation from UV light and moisture.

Effective Moisture and Vapor Barrier: Excellent for HVAC applications where preventing moisture ingress and maintaining air tightness are critical.
