Tape Description

 

PSK tape is a high-strength laminated material consisting of polypropylene film, scrim, and kraft paper, combined with a solvent-based acrylic adhesive. The tape is protected by a silicone release liner for easy application and excellent adhesive bonding. Its robust construction resists tearing, moisture, UV damage, and environmental degradation, making it ideal for long-term use in demanding conditions.

The tape is designed to seal insulation and prevent moisture infiltration, preserving the thermal performance of fiberglass, mineral wool, and other PSK faced insulation materials. The tape also plays a crucial role in improving energy efficiency in buildings by ensuring insulation materials maintain their integrity.

Customers can choose from three distinct PSK faced insulation colors: Black PSK, White PSK, or Silver FSK (Foil-Scrim-Kraft. Black and White PSK options are designed for aesthetically sensitive applications, while Silver FSK is suited for traditional uses behind walls or ceilings.

Tape Features:

  • Durable and Strong: The PP-scrim-kraft paper laminate backing resists tearing, providing long-lasting durability in harsh environments.
  • Easy to Apply: The peel-back design ensures effortless handling and quick application.
  • High-Tack Adhesive: Acrylic adhesive bonds instantly, making the tape highly effective for sealing and patching.
  • Moisture and UV Resistance: With resistance to mold and moisture, this tape is ideal for use in areas prone to high humidity or exposure to UV light.
  • Flame Retardant: Ensures safety in construction and HVAC applications.

Tape Applications:

  • Sealing Insulation: PSK tape is ideal for sealing joints and seams in fiberglass insulation or mineral wool insulation.
  • HVAC Systems: Commonly used to seal and repair insulation on ductwork in HVAC systems.
  • Repair and Patching: Perfect for repairing and patching tears in insulation facings and vapor barrier materials.
  • Moisture Control: Essential in moisture-prone environments such as basements, crawl spaces, and other commercial buildings.
