Metal foil backing
Insulation tape is used for insulating, protecting and sealing pipes, installations and constructions. Depending on the tape type, insulation tape can contribute to heat reflection, thermal protection, and protection against external influences such as UV radiation, moisture and chemicals. Insulation tapes are widely used in industry, engineering, installation and construction, for both indoor and outdoor applications. Would you like to learn more about the applications and benefits of insulation tape? Read more below the product list.
Applications of insulation tape
Insulation tape with a metal foil backing is widely used for sealing, protecting and insulating pipes, installations and constructions. Common applications include sealing ducts and pipes, use in food industry production processes (such as detectable tapes), and applications in refrigerators and freezers.
Depending on the tape type, insulation tape is suitable for temperatures of up to approximately 150 °C, making it widely applicable in industrial and technical environments.
Construction of insulation tape
Insulation tapes consist of a high-quality metal foil backing, such as soft aluminium, lead or zinc, combined with an industrial-grade adhesive. This combination provides excellent sealing, protection and insulation properties.
Thanks to this construction, metals can be processed quickly, cleanly and efficiently in tape form, making insulation tape particularly suitable for assembly and installation work.
Use in installation technology
Within installation technology, metal foil insulation tapes are widely used, for example for joining and sealing aluminium air ducts in air-conditioning and air-handling systems. These tapes ensure reliable sealing and contribute to a durable and energy-efficient installation.
Siliconized or non-siliconized
Metal foil insulation tape is available in different versions:
-
Non-siliconized: commonly used in installation technology and provides a permanent bond when overlapped
-
Siliconized: allows parts to be removed more easily, depending on the application
The correct choice depends on the installation method and the desired level of adhesion.
Advantages of insulation tapes
Insulation tapes are characterised by:
-
Good ageing resistance
-
High to extreme temperature resistance
-
Very good resistance to solvents
-
Low water vapour permeability
-
Excellent die-cutting capability of the metal foil backing
These properties make insulation tape suitable for both temporary and long-term applications.
