FSK Tape Description

 

FSK insulation tape features a robust, multi-layer construction that includes an aluminum foil facing, fiberglass scrim, and a kraft paper backing. The outer aluminum foil layer reflects radiant heat, aiding in heat control and insulation. The middle scrim layer, typically made of fiberglass mesh, enhances the tape’s tear resistance and overall strength. The inner kraft paper backing provides a surface for the high-performance adhesive, ensuring a secure bond.

Coated with a solvent-based acrylic adhesive, FSK foil tape offers excellent adhesion to various surfaces, providing long-lasting sealing power. This tape is highly resistant to punctures, tears, moisture, and mold, making it ideal for demanding insulation applications.

FSK Facing Tape provides an efficient, durable solution for HVAC professionals looking to enhance the performance of their insulation systems. Whether you are sealing ductwork or patching insulation, this foil scrim kraft insulation tape is designed to deliver long-term performance and reliability in high-demand applications.

Tape Applications:

  • Sealing Seams and Gaps: Ideal for sealing seams, gaps, and joints in FSK faced duct wrap insulation used in HVAC systems.
  • Patching Insulation: Quickly repairs minor tears or holes in FSK faced duct wrap insulation, maintaining its integrity.
  • Vapor Barrier: In some cases, FSK foil tape can be used to create a vapor barrier over insulated walls, ceilings, or attics, helping to control moisture.

Tape Features:

  • Durable Multi-Layer Construction: The foil-scrim-kraft laminate provides enhanced tear resistance and superior insulation properties.
  • Strong Adhesion: The high-tack synthetic rubber adhesive ensures an instant bond, even to irregular or curved surfaces.
  • Heat & Moisture Resistant: The aluminum foil layer helps reflect radiant heat, while the tape is also moisture-, mold-, and UV-resistant, making it ideal for high-demand environments.
  • Easy Application: The peel-back design allows for quick and straightforward application, reducing installation time.
  • Long-Lasting Performance: FSK Tape offers superior holding power, resisting lifting, curling, and other forms of degradation over time.
