Metal Tape

A roll of metal tape refers to a strip of material with sticky substances on one side as well as metal substances. It is widely used for sticking objects together, from household applications to all kinds of industries. Compared to the scotch blue tape or other sticky tape, metal tape has better strength and elasticity. Being strong and durable, it can be stretched and bent to meet different needs. Also, it shows great resistance to heat, water and air. Therefore, it retains sticky substances for a long time and has a lower possibility of getting rust. In addition, tin soldering is suitable to be applied to the surfaces of metal tape. Serving as an adhesive, metal tap joins metals, wires or other things together by tin soldering. One of the available goods is aluminum foil tape.

The materials of aluminum foil tape

The aluminum foil tape can be made from aluminum foil, butyl rubber, opp film or other materials. Aluminum foil is a light metal made into thin sheets in the color of silver-gray. Being waterproof and elastic, it resists liquid well and allows flexible processing. One of the functions of aluminum foil is to be used as a wrapper. In addition, butyl rubber features great chemical stability and thermal stability. Compared with natural rubber, butyl rubber is less permeable to water, air and steam. Butyl rubber tape also comes to be a useful tool in practice. Opp film, a light plastic material, is used to cover the sticky side of the tape before use. Overall, the materials mentioned above make for better performance of aluminum foil tape.

The application of aluminum foil tape

With those materials of high quality, aluminum foil tape is suitable for a wide range of applications, including all kinds of industries and household repair. For example, it plays a role in the repair of the main bearing bore of a car engine. Compared with other methods of repair, like brushing, electroplating and spraying, using aluminum foil tape saves more time and cost. In addition, aluminum foil tape can be used on different surfaces, such as concrete, glass, wood, stone and steel. Therefore, it is a good helper in repairing leaking objects, sealing containers and joining things together in daily life.

The specific usage of aluminum foil tape

In order to stick things firmly, there are several steps of using aluminum foil tape for reference. First, determine where aluminum foil tape will be used. Flaccid surfaces, like sand surfaces, are not suitable for the tape. Then, clean the surface, tear off the opp film and put the sticky side to the surface. Last, press the tape with force and double-check if it is fixed firmly.
