Aluminum Foil Tape with Liner
Product Description
T.R.U. AF-20R Aluminum Foil Tape is a 2 Mil dead soft premium grade Aluminum Foil coated with an extremely aggressive synthetic rubber adhesive that provides a tight positive grab when smoothed on work surfaces; its malleable foil conforms well to irregular and curved surfaces. The T.R.U. AF-20R Aluminum foil tape is an all-weather general purpose used in fiberglass duct board systems (on seams and joints to maintain the integrity of the vapor barrier) and on FSK systems.
Applications
For heat reflection and dissipation - Masking in paint stripping and electroplating - Cover over and seal seams in Hexayurt shelters - Waterproof sealing - Sealing plastic and automation plateware (in biotech research).

- Enhanced Protection Against Elements: Our 3.6 MIL aluminum foil tape is designed with a 3-inch core, making it incredibly resistant to water vapor, certain chemicals, flames, moisture, weather, and smoke transmission. Ideal for various applications, it serves as a robust barrier, ensuring the integrity and longevity of insulation systems.
- Optimal Vapor Barrier: This aluminum tape acts as an effective vapor barrier, safeguarding insulation systems from moisture and vapor, thus maintaining their efficiency and durability over time. Its superior resistance qualities make it an essential component for construction and repair projects.
- Improved Thermal Efficiency: The thermal conductivity feature of our aluminum foil tape aids in the cooling and heating efficiency of HVAC systems. By reflecting heat and acting as an insulator, it enhances the overall energy efficiency, leading to cost savings and a reduced environmental impact.
- Strong and Versatile Adhesion: Equipped with a conformable backing and a pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive, our aluminum foil tape adheres strongly to both smooth and irregular surfaces. This versatility ensures a reliable seal in a wide range of applications, from standard ductwork to complex industrial environments.
- Multi-Use Application: Whether you're looking to improve HVAC efficiency, seal ductwork, or require a high-temperature resistant tape, our aluminum foil tape meets a broad spectrum of needs. Its ability to withstand extreme conditions makes it an indispensable tool for professionals in the construction, automotive, and industrial sectors.
