Foiling is a favourite choice for decorative print materials and more. It is a dynamic option that can provide plenty of benefits. With metallic foil for instance, you can use it on far more surfaces than you can use standard ink. Additionally, you end up with an appearance that the other processes can’t replication. Best of all, when you work with us, you get fantastic foiling services for some very good prices.
One foil item you might not know about is aluminium foil tape. This is what you get when you combine the weather-resistant sealing power of adhesive tape and aluminium’s finish. The tape has enough versatility that various industries love using it. This includes construction and manufacturing. Thanks to the chemical and moisture resistance, you have a tape for a wide array of applications. There is also the weatherability, plus light and heat reflectance. In addition, there is the flame resistance, and good thermal conductivity.
When did the tape first appear?
Aluminium foil initially became available in 1888. Commercial production in America began in 1913. It also saw extensive use in World War II. After all, it was a favourite for its attractive appearance in packaging and containers. It could protect insulation, electrical capacitors, and packages. The tape became available for commercial use after the war.
Now that you know the history, let’s go over the benefits.
A better option than mastic?
For one thing, it is a brilliant alternative to mastic. Aluminium foil tapes are typically not messy. This is mastic’s biggest downside. In addition, the tapes use less equipment. There is no requirement for drop cloths, paint brushes, gloves, eye protection and so on. What’s more, you don’t need to use additional fasteners like drywall mesh, scrap metal, and metal screws to seal huge areas. You can use the tape to tackle holes in an air handler or furnace.

Is everything holding up okay?
The tape also has the ability to hold up over time. During construction work, labourers often use pressure-sensitive tapes in places that are hidden. Examples include foil-faced insulation and house wraps. What this means is that they won’t be easy to replace or repair. So, you must use the right materials at first.
Thanks to the acrylic adhesive technology, aluminium foil tape comes with superior thermal stability. There is wonderful adhesion and cohesion too. This is if you compare to tapes with rubber adhesives. In other words, the foil one can hold up to UV light exposure and temperature fluctuations. It won’t break down quickly, ensuring you get longer service.
