Product Overview
Aluminium Foil Tape with a 100mm width and 45-metre roll length. Manufactured with a soft, malleable aluminium foil backing and a high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive, this tape provides an effective seal against air, moisture, and vapour.
Designed for professional insulation and HVAC applications, it delivers excellent adhesion to foil-faced materials and metal surfaces. The reflective aluminium surface enhances thermal efficiency by maintaining insulation continuity and preventing heat loss through joints or seams.
Its conformable foil layer ensures a tight, continuous bond even on irregular or curved surfaces. The 100mm width offers broad coverage for large joints or wide insulation board seams, reducing installation time and improving finish quality.
Features & Benefits
- Reflective aluminium surface: Enhances thermal performance by reflecting heat and light in insulation systems.
- Vapour and moisture barrier: Provides a continuous, airtight seal that prevents condensation and air leakage.
- High adhesive strength: Pressure-sensitive adhesive delivers secure bonding to foil-faced insulation, ductwork, and metal surfaces.
- Thermal conductivity: Aluminium composition allows efficient heat distribution where required.
- Temperature tolerance: Suitable for both low and moderately high temperature environments.
- Conformable and flexible: Adapts easily to curved or uneven surfaces for a seamless finish.
- Durable construction: Resistant to ageing, UV exposure (foil component), and many common chemicals for long service life.
- Roll size 100mm x 45m: Provides extensive coverage for professional or large-scale installation work.
Applications
- Foil-faced insulation joints: Seals seams and joints in PIR, phenolic, and mineral wool insulation boards to maintain vapour barriers.
- Pipe lagging: Secures and seals the outer layer of foil-faced pipe insulation to preserve thermal and moisture protection.
- Ventilation ducting (HVAC): Provides airtight joints and seals in rigid or flexible air ducts to improve system efficiency.
- General HVAC and metalwork: Used for metal-to-metal sealing where a vapour-tight or moisture-resistant joint is needed.
- Containment sheeting: Suitable for sealing seams in polythene sheeting for temporary dust or containment barriers.
- Reflective shielding and surface repairs: Can be used to create temporary heat shields or perform minor metallic surface repairs.
Installation Guidance
- Surface preparation: Ensure all surfaces are dry, clean, and free from dust or grease before application.
- Application method: Unroll tape and apply firm, even pressure along the seam or joint to achieve full contact.
- Cutting and handling: Cut to length using a utility knife or scissors; no specialist tools required.
- Overlap joints: When sealing seams, allow sufficient overlap to maintain full vapour continuity.
- Temperature conditions: Apply within the recommended temperature range for best adhesion results.
Compliance & Performance
- Material specification: Soft aluminium foil backing with pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive.
- Thermal and vapour performance: Conforms to standard insulation sealing and HVAC duct sealing requirements.
- Chemical and UV resistance: Maintains adhesion and surface integrity under typical service conditions.
- Service temperature range: Suitable for environments ranging from sub-zero to moderately high operating temperatures.
- Important note: Always confirm compatibility with insulation or duct materials before application in critical systems.
