Aluminum scotch tape is a product consisting of a foil on which an adhesive coating is applied. This type of material has a high level of reflection of thermal radiation and ultraviolet rays, which allows it to be used in the repair of thermal insulation.
As well as metal, aluminum adhesive tape is used for a variety of construction and installation works. The glue mixture, which is part of the product, has special properties and is able to withstand high temperatures up to 350 degrees, which makes this material durable.
Due to its reflective properties, aluminum tape is indispensable in the repair and manufacture of thermal insulation; it is used in industry for the creation and repair of air conditioning and ventilation systems.
The foil, which acts as the basis of this material, has good moisture resistance, thermal insulation, as well as sealing against the effects of aggressive environments.
A unique combination of qualities allows the use of aluminum tape in plumbing systems, in air and heat pipelines. The product is used in saunas, baths and stoves. With its help, quickly and easily perform the connection of foil materials.
It is very convenient to use the material for sealing corrosion defects during painting, for example, in cars. In addition, aluminum tape is used in the manufacture of household kitchen appliances (refrigerators, microwave ovens, ovens, stoves).
As a rule, adhesive aluminum tape is available in rolls. And the adhesive composition can sometimes be covered with a protective additional layer.
Before using this material, it is necessary to check the quality of the processed surface. If it is clean, dry and non-greasy, then you should separate the protective layer from the tape and apply aluminum tape.
For the product to last for a long time, the following points must be considered. The tape can only be glued to a dry, dust-free surface. Do not use aluminum reinforced tape with a moisture content of more than 100 percent. Do not use the product twice, it is disposable.
Before use, it is not recommended to touch the adhesive composition with your hands.
To get the best sealing, use reinforced aluminum tape. This material has improved performance. It is made of PVC with the inclusion of fabric fibers, on top of which special polyethylene is applied.
This layer allows you to protect the surface from the penetration of dirt and water. The reinforced type of adhesive tape is used to perform plumbing work, as well as to protect goods.
Thus, the use of the material is due to its properties such as incombustibility combined with high sound and heat insulating qualities, and resistance to deformation at high temperature. Adhesive tape is not hygroscopic, has biological and chemical resistance. Also, the material is easily mounted and retains its dimensions during the entire period of operation.
