Aluminum Fiberglass Cloth Tape

• Tape Description

  Engineered for performance-critical environments, AGA120170FR90 combines the radiant heat reflective properties of aluminum foil with the mechanical toughness of woven glass cloth. The composite backing (7µm foil / FR glue / 110gsm glass cloth 12×12) is coated with a high-performance solvent-based acrylic adhesive and protected by an easy-release silicone liner. This structural synergy grants multidirectional tensile strength, ensuring the tape resists tearing, stretching, and physical abrasion under constant mechanical stress or equipment vibration.

  The solvent-based acrylic adhesive creates a permanent, airtight, and watertight bond that acts as an impermeable vapor barrier. Despite its heavy-duty reinforced construction, the tape retains excellent flexibility to mold seamlessly around irregular fittings, complex pipe joints, and wire bundles. Whether utilized for HVAC duct joint sealing, thermal insulation wrapping, or automotive heat shielding, AGA120170FR90 delivers long-lasting protection against heat, moisture, and mechanical wear.

• Features & Benefits

  • Heat & Radiant Light Reflection: The outer 7µm aluminum foil layer efficiently reflects radiant heat and light, optimizing energy management in high-temperature systems.
  • High Multidirectional Strength: Reinforced with a 110gsm 12×12 woven fiberglass cloth to provide exceptional tensile strength in both vertical and horizontal directions.
  • Solvent-Based Acrylic Adhesion: Formulated with a solvent acrylic adhesive that forms a strong, durable bond across metal, plastic, and composite substrates.
  • Moisture & Vapor Barrier: Functions as a robust sealing barrier with low moisture vapor transmission, protecting underlying surfaces against water ingress and corrosion.
  • Flame-Retardant & Flexible: Features flame-retardant adhesive construction while remaining sufficiently pliable to conform around curved surfaces and complex geometries.

• Applications

  • Thermal Insulation & Pipe Wrapping: Insulating cables, high-temperature piping, and sensitive equipment to maintain thermal stability and heat retention.
  • HVAC Sealing & Repair: Creating airtight and watertight seals across duct seams, joints, and insulation facing in commercial heating and cooling systems.
  • Automotive & Aerospace Shielding: Protecting critical wire harnesses, engine compartments, and heat-sensitive components from radiant thermal exposure.
  • High-Vibration Environments: Sealing industrial machinery and equipment subjected to continuous movement and vibration without debonding or tearing.
  • Industrial Wire Harnessing: Bundling and wrapping electrical wire harnesses for thermal insulation and physical wear protection.

FAQ:

Q1. What makes AGA120170FR90 different from standard fiberglass cloth aluminum foil tape?
A: AGA120170FR90 utilizes a specific 7µm aluminum foil laminated to a 110gsm (12×12) glass cloth via flame-retardant glue, paired with a solvent-based acrylic adhesive for maximum chemical, moisture, and temperature stability.

Q2. Why is solvent-based acrylic adhesive used on this tape?
A: Solvent-based acrylic adhesive provides superior long-term durability, higher temperature resistance, and stronger bond stability in harsh, wet, or outdoor environments compared to water-based acrylic or rubber adhesives.

Q3. Can this Aluminum Fiberglass Cloth Tape handle high vibration?
A: Yes. The woven fiberglass cloth reinforcement provides exceptional multidirectional tensile strength, preventing the tape from cracking, tearing, or peeling when applied to equipment exposed to continuous movement and vibration.

Q4. Is AGA120170FR90 flame retardant?
A: Yes, the backing incorporates flame-retardant (FR) adhesive between the 7µm foil and glass cloth layer to meet stringent safety requirements in high-temperature applications.

Q5. Does the tape act as an effective vapor barrier?
A: Yes. The combination of dense aluminum foil and solvent acrylic adhesive creates an airtight and watertight seal with extremely low moisture vapor transmission rates.
