What is the difference between repair tape and aluminum tape?
As the name suggests, the repair tape is intended for repairing failures in the water and sewage system, as well as for temporary installation. In practice, when a specialist starts service or repair work and there are no replaceable parts, he saves the situation thanks to repair tape. He seals the installation and in the meantime orders everything needed to permanently remove the failure. Repair tapes have strong adhesive and are resistant to water, high and low temperatures.
Still easy to tear off by hand. They are worth having not only in the installer's toolbox, but also in every home, farm or production plant. However, they are not as durable as aluminum tapes. The latter are used for various types of permanent installations in the construction, finishing and renovation industries. In turn, aluminum tape is not used in electricity because aluminum conducts electricity. Insulating or repair tapes are used to connect cables and secure connections.
What is aluminum tape used for?
Aluminum tape is a specialized tape for special tasks. It is made of a layer of aluminum, which, as we know, is resistant to corrosion and also has thermal insulation properties. Therefore, aluminum tapes are durable and resistant to changing weather conditions, including UV radiation. They will withstand temperatures from -20 to 155°C, and the temporary fire resistance is 200°C (up to 1 hour). Another undoubted advantage is the layer of strong adhesive, thanks to which the tape adheres perfectly to all types of surfaces and joints of various types of materials.
Moreover, aluminum tape is non-toxic to the environment, so it does not release any harmful substances into water or air. It is safe for the environment and human health even many years after application. It can be easily cut with scissors and a knife. In addition, aluminum tapes are available in rolls of various lengths and widths, as well as in strips of various sizes and with a hole for a nail or mounting screw.
In practice, the most common uses of aluminum tape are:
- sealing and connecting ventilation and chimney systems;
- combining insulating mats made of fiberglass or mineral wool when insulating attics, ceilings and basements;
- sealing joints of steel, copper and aluminum pipes in water and sewage installations and roof gutters;
- for removing thermal bridges in thermal insulation and heating installations.
In the most difficult conditions, aluminum tapes reinforced with acrylic glue are used. They are reinforced with fiberglass mesh, covered with a layer of polyethylene laminate. This type of tape is suitable for insulating pipes in ventilation, water, air conditioning and heating systems.
