Aluminum Foil Tape Description

 

The 1.6 mil thickness of the aluminum foil backing offers excellent conformability, allowing the tape to adhere well to both fibrous and sheet metal ducts. The foil itself acts as an excellent barrier against moisture, dust, flame, and certain chemicals.

Rubber adhesives are known for their strong initial tack and good adhesion to a variety of surfaces including both smooth and rough materials. The rubber-based adhesive in cold weather aluminum foil tape maintains its stickiness and flexibility at lower temperatures, where acrylic adhesives might harden and lose their grip.

This aluminum foil tape is specifically formulated to perform in cold environments. It can be applied in temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C), making it ideal for cold weather applications where other tapes might become brittle and fail.

Tape Applications:

  • HVAC Systems: It is commonly used in the HVAC industry for sealing and patching ductwork, especially in cold climates. The tape can seal joints and seams against moisture and vapor and help maintain energy efficiency.

  • Refrigeration: Suitable for insulation and sealing tasks within refrigeration units and cold storage facilities.

  • Construction: Can be used in general construction, particularly for insulation installation and vapor barrier protection.

  • Automotive: Useful for under-the-hood applications where temperature resistance is required.

Tape Features:

  • Flexibility: Maintains flexibility in cold temperatures, which is critical for a durable seal.

  • Durability: Highly durable and designed to withstand harsh environments without degrading.

  • Ease of Use: Can be torn by hand and conforms easily to irregular surfaces.

  • Excellent adhesion: Even in cold temperatures, the rubber-based adhesive ensures a strong and reliable bond to various surfaces.

  • Durability: Resistant to moisture, chemicals, and UV rays.
