Aluminum scotch: application and characteristics

Aluminum tape is an article consisting of a foil, on which the 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.

Just like metal, aluminum scotch is used for a variety of construction and installation works. Glutinous mixture, which is part of the product, has special properties and is capable of withstanding high temperatures up to 350 degrees, which makes this material durable.

Due to its reflective properties, aluminum scotch is indispensable in the repair and manufacture of thermal insulation, it is used in the industry to create and repair air conditioning and ventilation systems.

Foil, which acts as the basis of this material, has good moisture resistance, thermal insulation, as well as sealing against the effects of an aggressive environment.

A unique combination of qualities makes it possible to use aluminum scotch in plumbing systems, in air and heat pipes. The product is used in saunas, baths and ovens. With its help, quickly and easily perform connections of foil materials.

It is very convenient to use a material for sealing corrosion defects during painting, for example, in machines. In addition, aluminum scotch is used in the manufacture of household kitchen appliances (refrigerators, microwave ovens, ovens, plates).

As a rule, an adhesive aluminum tape is produced in rolls. A glutinous composition can sometimes be covered with a protective additional layer.

Before using this material, it is necessary to check the quality of the surface to be treated. If it is clean, dry and non-greasy, then it is necessary to separate the protective layer from the tape and apply an aluminum scotch.

In order for the product to last a long time, it is necessary to consider the following points. The tape can be glued only to a dry, cleaned of debris and oil surface. Do not use aluminum reinforced scotch with a moisture content of more than 100 percent. Do not use the product twice, it is one-off.

Before use, do not touch the adhesive with your hands.

To get a better seal, use an aluminum reinforced scotch. This material has improved characteristics. It is made of PVC with the inclusion of fabric fibers, on top of which a special polyethylene is applied.

This layer protects the surface from the penetration of dirt and water. The reinforced version of Scotch tape is used for plumbing work, as well as for the protection of goods.

Thus, the use of the material is due to its properties such as incombustibility in combination with high sound and heat insulating qualities, resistance to deformations at high temperatures. Scotch is not hygroscopic, has biological and chemical resistance. Also, the material can be easily mounted and retains its dimensions during the entire service life.
