Aluminum Foil Tape Description

 

This Aluminum Foil Insulation Tape is constructed with a heavy-duty 50-micron (2.0 mil) aluminum foil backing, giving it superior mechanical strength and resistance to tears, punctures, and moisture. The total tape thickness of 90 microns ensures long-lasting durability even in harsh industrial and outdoor environments.

The high-tack rubber-resin adhesive provides strong, immediate bonding to a wide range of surfaces - smooth, rough, or irregular—making it suitable for metal ducts, insulation materials, pipes, automotive components, and construction substrates. Its pressure-sensitive design allows effortless hand application without heat or water activation. A silicone-coated release liner ensures easy peeling and clean application, reducing installation time and improving precision during complex sealing tasks.

Designed to withstand temperature fluctuations, chemicals, humidity, and UV exposure, this aluminum insulation tape is ideal for sealing, repairing, wrapping, heat shielding, and moisture control across industrial sectors.

Tape Applications:

Its enhanced durability, temperature resistance, and excellent vapor-barrier properties make it a trusted solution for ductwork sealing, insulation bonding, and environmental protection in extreme conditions.

  • HVAC Systems: Essential for sealing seams, joints, and penetrations in rigid and flexible ductwork to prevent air leakage and improve system efficiency.
  • Insulation: Used to seal and repair seams in insulation materials for pipes and thermal jackets, ensuring a continuous moisture-resistant barrier.
  • Construction: Providing a robust moisture barrier in roofing, cladding systems, and cold rooms to enhance thermal performance and durability.
  • Automotive: Suitable for under-hood applications as a heat shielding material to protect sensitive components from high engine temperatures.

Tape Features:

  • Heavy-Duty Aluminum Foil Backing: 50-micron aluminum foil provides mechanical strength and long-term durability. Excellent heat and light reflectivity for thermal insulation efficiency.
  • Superior Adhesion: Rubber-resin adhesive delivers strong initial tack and reliable long-term bond. Adheres to metals, plastics, insulation boards, ducts, and uneven surfaces.
  • Moisture & Vapor Barrier: Very low moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR). Helps prevent condensation, corrosion, and moisture intrusion in HVAC and insulation systems.
  • Excellent Environmental Resistance: Withstands chemicals, oils, solvents, and humidity. Service temperature range: –20°C to +80°C.
  • Easy & Accurate Installation: Silicone release liner allows fast, clean peeling and positioning. Ideal for detailed or precise applications.
  • Multi-Industry Versatility: Suitable for HVAC, construction, insulation, automotive, and general industrial sealing applications.

FAQ:

Q1: What makes the 50-micron backing superior for professional use?
A: The 50-micron thickness significantly increases the tape’s mechanical strength and resistance to accidental tears or punctures during installation or service life, which is critical when sealing heavy ductwork and structural insulation.

Q2: Is this insulation foil tape suitable for both hot and cold pipes?
A: Yes. With a service temperature range of -20°C to +80°C, this tape maintains its strong adhesion and barrier properties across a wide temperature spectrum, making it effective for both heating and cooling applications.

Q3: Is the adhesive long-lasting?
A: The rubber-resin adhesive combines excellent initial tack with long-term bond strength, suitable for industrial and construction applications.

Q4: Does the tape adhere well to rough surfaces?
A: Yes. It bonds effectively to smooth, rough, and irregular surfaces such as metal, insulation boards, pipes, and composite materials.

Q5: How does this Aluminum Foil Insulation Tape contribute to energy efficiency?
A: This aluminium foil tape works in two ways: it prevents air leaks in ductwork (saving conditioned air), and its reflective surface acts as a radiant barrier, reducing heat transfer into or out of the insulated space, thereby minimizing energy loss.
