3M Aluminium Tape, 5.1N/cm Adhesion Strength, 0.12mm Thickness - 425 Series - 425 - 25,4MM (R06933)

Use this aluminium tape from 3M to shield delicate machine parts from hot or corrosive treatments. It's thermally conductive so spreads heat out, which helps to reduce the chance of hotspots damaging the surface of your equipment. For a firm hold, its acrylic adhesive offers long-term durability. The tape removes cleanly, even when put to the test in harsh applications, so there's no need to scrub off sticky residue.

• Soft aluminium foil backing conforms easily to both smooth and uneven surfaces
• Resists solvents and chemicals for an extended lifespan
• Withstands temperatures up to +149°C, so it's suitable for use in demanding environments

Applications

• Light and heat reflecting
• Masking during chemical paint stripping
• Seaming and sealing

Can I use this tape outdoors?

Designed for heat shielding, heat reflecting, chemical masking, light enhancement, chemical milling, seaming, sealing and de-paint operations. Both indoor and outdoor.

Yes, thanks to its resistance to UV light and moisture, this tape is suitable for outdoor use.

Benefits of 3M Foil Tape

An Acrylic Adhesive backing. This 3M Aluminium foil tape is coated in a superior acrylic adhesive, which works well in extreme cold and heat conditions. This matters when comparing to most duct tapes that are made with a rubber adhesive. This is then known to delaminate from its backing in these extreme conditions. Other adhesives can offer greater resistance but will lack mechanical strength, poor ageing resistance and UV light.

Longevity of foil tape. Within the construction industry, the use of pressure sensitive tapes is often used in hard to reach areas. This means they can't be easily replaced or repaired. The acrylic adhesive on the 3M aluminium foil tape offers better cohesion, adhesion and thermal properties.
