Tape Description
Our Aluminum Foil Duct Tape is constructed for professional reliability:
- Heavy-Duty Backing: The tape utilizes a 75µm (micron) thick normal aluminum foil backing. This professional-grade material resists extreme temperatures, humidity, chemicals, and UV degradation.
- Acrylic Adhesive: Coated with a high-quality acrylic adhesive, the tape creates a strong bond that seals gaps effectively, preventing moisture and emissions from leaking into or out of ducting.
- Easy Application: Protected by an easy-release silicone paper liner, the tape is flexible and easy to handle, ensuring a smooth application even on complex shapes and metal pipes.
- Safety & Durability: The tape is flame-resistant, crucial for HVAC safety, and acts as an excellent vapor barrier due to its low moisture vapor transmission rate.

Features & Benefits
- Durable Construction: 75µm Aluminum Foil Backing. Resists UV degradation, chemicals, humidity, and physical wear.
- Extreme Temperature Resistance: Service range from -30°C to +150°C. Maintains a secure seal in both extreme cold and high-heat air duct environments.
- Moisture & Vapor Barrier: Low moisture vapor transmission rate. Prevents moisture ingress and condensation, acting as an excellent vapor barrier.
- Versatile Adhesion: Strong acrylic adhesive system. Effectively seals leaks and gaps in ducting, preventing energy loss.
- Flexible Application: Conformable foil material. Easily patches holes and seals cracks on irregular metal surfaces and roofing.

Applications
Aluminum Foil Duct Tape is essential for a wide range of maintenance and construction tasks:
- HVAC System Maintenance: The primary use is sealing leaks, gaps, and joints in air conditioning ducts, ensuring system efficiency.
- Pipe Sealing: Wrapping and sealing joints in metal pipes to prevent leakage.
- Emergency Repairs: Ideal for temporary patches on metal surfaces, such as repairing holes in ducts or sealing cracks in metal roofing.
- Vapor Sealing: Providing a continuous vapor barrier in insulation systems to control moisture.
