Home Aluminum Foil Tape

Whether you are sealing air conditioning ducts, enhancing thermal insulation, or preventing moisture infiltration, our Aluminum Foil Tape is your go-to solution for achieving a strong, durable, and airtight seal. We offer a variety of Aluminum Foil Tape options, each designed to meet the specific needs of different applications. SLAA standard aluminum foil tapes comes in three different adhesive.

Different Adhesive Types of Aluminum Foil Tape

Comparison Diagram of Different Adhesive Types

  • Synthetic rubber resin adhesive, Also named Hot melt adhesive
  • Water-based acrylic adhesive
  • Solvent-based acrylic adhesive

Synthetic Rubber Resin Adhesive (Hot Melt Adhesive): Provides high bonding strength, ideal for high-temperature applications such as HVAC ducts and automotive heat shielding.

Water-Based Acrylic Adhesive: Offers a more eco-friendly solution with good adhesion properties for general sealing and insulation applications.

Solvent-Based Acrylic Adhesive: Known for superior adhesion and resistance to harsh chemicals, this adhesive is perfect for use in refrigeration systems and electrical shielding.

The thickness of aluminum foil backing from 18um to 150um. But the actual common thickness is up to 50um. The thicker the aluminum foil is, the higher the tensile strength of the tape becomes. But the thicker the foil, the more expensive it is. We usually use reinforced foil to increase its tensile strength but not much production costs.

  • SLAA Reinforced foil tapes include:
  • Aluminum foil glass cloth tape
  • Foil scrim tape
  • PET laminated foil tape

Aluminum Foil Glass Cloth Tape: Reinforced with glass cloth for added durability and tear resistance. This tape is often used in demanding industrial applications and HVAC systems.

Foil Scrim Tape: Provides enhanced puncture resistance, making it ideal for sealing ductwork and high-stress applications.

PET Laminated Foil Tape: Features a PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) laminate for improved strength, flexibility, and moisture resistance, commonly used in electromagnetic shielding.

Applications of Aluminum Foil Tape

Aluminum Foil Tape is incredibly versatile, with applications across various industries. Here are some of the most common uses:

  • HVAC Systems and Ductwork

    HVAC systems benefit greatly from Aluminum Foil Tap as it helps seal seams and joints in air ducts, preventing air leaks and enhancing the system’s efficiency. It is also used to seal range hoods, ensuring better air flow and performance.

  • Building Insulation

    Aluminum Foil Tape is often used in building insulation to seal insulation materials like fiberglass, foam board, and reflective panels. This creates an airtight barrier, improving the overall energy efficiency of buildings.

  • Waterproofing and Moisture Barriers

    The moisture-resistant properties of aluminum tape make it ideal for use as a moisture barrier. It effectively seals gaps and joints in windows, doors, and other surfaces to prevent water infiltration, which is critical in areas exposed to high humidity or moisture.

  • Refrigeration and Appliance Repairs

    Aluminum Foil Tape plays an important role in the repair and maintenance of refrigeration systems, air conditioners, and household appliances. It is used to seal and reinforce joints, repair damaged components, and provide thermal insulation.

  • Automotive Applications

    In the automotive industry, aluminum tape is used for wire harness wrapping, heat shielding, and securing insulation materials in engine compartments. Its heat resistance and reflective properties make it ideal for demanding automotive applications.

  • EMI and RF Shielding

    For electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency (RF) shielding, Aluminum Foil Tape is used in electronic enclosures. It helps prevent the leakage of electromagnetic waves and protects sensitive components from interference.

Aluminum Foil Tape is a high-performance, reliable solution for sealing, insulating, and repairing. Whether you're sealing ducts, insulating pipes, or repairing appliances, Aluminum Foil Tape provides the strength, durability, and versatility needed for reliable performance.
