Tape Description

 

PSK itself refers to a laminated material that combines polypropylene film, scrim, and kraft paper, with a high performance solvent acrylic adhesive, protected by an easy-release silicone release paper. This structure enhances the tape's strength, durability, and resistance to moisture.

The robust construction of PSK tape makes it resistant to tearing, moisture, and environmental degradation, which is essential for long-term applications in building construction. By effectively sealing insulation materials, PSK tape helps maintain the insulation's integrity and performance, leading to improved energy efficiency in buildings.

Customers now have the choice of 3 different insulation facing colors: Black PSK, White PSK, or Silver FSK (Foil-Scrim-Kraft). The Black and White PSK were designed for aesthetically targeted applications, while the Silver FSK is intended for more traditional applications, like those behind closed walls or ceilings.

Tape Features:

  • Durable PSK jacketing tape for sealing insulation.
  • High-strength PP-scrim-kraft paper laminate backing resists tearing.
  • Peel-back design for easy application.
  • High-tack Acrylic adhesive forms an instant bond.
  • Moisture-, mold-, and UV-resistant design.

Tape Applications:

  • Sealing Insulation: PSK tape is commonly used to seal seams and joints in fiberglass or mineral wool insulation sheets and rolls.

  • HVAC Systems: In HVAC systems, PSK tape is used to seal and repair insulation on ductwork.

  • Repairing and Patching: PSK tape is also used for patching tears in insulation facings and other vapor barrier materials.

  • Moisture Control: It is utilized in applications where controlling moisture is crucial, such as in basements, crawl spaces, and commercial buildings.
