Aluminum foil tape is often used for sealing and patching HVAC ducts. It offers more benefits compared to duct tape and is the ideal alternative to it.
It’s also the ideal packaging tape to protect items shipped over long distances. Foil tapes can withstand severe temperature changes, moisture and vermin.
Durability
The insulating properties and durability of aluminium tape make it an essential part of every engine builder’s, custom car interior designer’s, or classic car restorer’s kit. From sealing ram air intake boxes to overlaying the gaps between insulation materials, these specialist tapes can help keep heat and noise out, and moisture and dust in.
Moisture Resistance
Aluminium Foil Tape is often used to create a vapour barrier in ductwork and insulation, it is also ideal for sealing and insulating ducts. Foil tapes are created using aluminum foil and dependable adhesives, creating a strong tape that conforms to uneven surfaces. It also has high resistances to moisture, vapor and temperature fluctuations.
It can prevent moisture intrusion into packed goods, keeping them fresh for longer periods of time during shipment. It’s heat, vermin and moisture resistant properties mean that it is ideal for protecting sensitive contents from damage during transportation.
Additionally, it’s moisture resistance means that it is ideal for use in marine environments. It can be used to coat the cargo of a ferry, or to mask windows and seams on an aircraft before paint stripping. It also has a high resistance to harsh chemicals, making it ideal for protecting equipment used in anodizing and electroplating applications.
Heat Resistance
Foil tapes are often used to protect products from moisture, heat and vermin that may inflict damage during shipping. The aluminium foil and dependable adhesives found in these tapes make them capable of handling extreme temperatures, as well as high levels of humidity.
Light Reflectivity
Foil tapes have a highly reflective surface designed to enhance visibility in low light or nighttime conditions. This helps reduce accidents and improves safety for pedestrians and drivers.
The adhesive on the foil tapes provides a strong hold to surfaces, even when exposed to moisture and extreme temperatures. Typically, the acrylic emulsion-based adhesive can adhere to wood, metal and glass surfaces, as well as waterproof items.
The aluminium and copper backings of these tapes provide durability and resistance to heat, vermin, and certain chemicals. They also act as effective heat sinks, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the RGB LED strip light. In addition, a LED channel track option can be used to mount the LED strip lighting, ensuring protection and stability during use. The channel also provides a diffuser to disperse the light evenly and add to the aesthetic of the LED strip lighting setup.
