Aluminum Foil Tape Description

 

The duct foil tape is a single-faced adhesive tape of aluminum foil backing which is coated by solvent acrylic adhesive (PSA). The lack of scrim means that the tape is generally smoother, more malleable, and more easily to irregular surfaces and shapes. Duct aluminum foil tape can withstand extreme temperatures, making it suitable for heating and cooling applications. It provides good adhesion to both metallic and non-metallic surfaces, ensuring a secure seal.

This aluminum foil tape is sufficient for light-duty applications with higher flexibility, and cost-effective. It is an essential component in HVAC installations and repairs.

Tape Applications:

Sealing ductwork: Seal joints and seams in ductwork to prevent air leaks, which can improve the efficiency of the HVAC system and reduce energy costs.

Insulation: Provide insulation by sealing and covering gaps in ductwork, helping to maintain the temperature of the air flowing through the system.

Repairing HVAC systems: Repair damaged sections of ductwork, providing a temporary or sometimes permanent fix.

Moisture and vapor barrier: The tape can act as a moisture and vapor barrier for ductwork, helping to prevent condensation and moisture buildup.

Tape Features:

  • Made of thin aluminum foil coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
  • Easily adapts to irregular surfaces and tight corners.
  • Resistant to tearing, puncture, and moisture.
  • Can withstand temperatures up to 200°F (93°C).
  • Meets UL 181B-FX standards for flame resistance.
  • Service Temperature range from -30℃ to +150℃.
