What Is Aluminium Foil Tape? Construction and Selection

Aluminium foil tape combines a metal foil backing with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Some products also include a release liner; construction and properties vary by product.

How to select a tape

Consider the substrate, joint geometry, service conditions and required tape width. Foil tapes can be considered for ventilation and insulation work; verify required performance and documentation in the relevant data sheet.

Test before use

Prepare the surface and apply pressure at the temperature specified by the manufacturer. Trial adhesion on a small area of the actual substrate before the full application.
