Aluminum foil tape, literally, should be similar to ordinary transparent tape. That's right, you guessed it right, they look exactly the same in appearance.
They are both wide and thin profile, one side are coated with high strength adhesive, however, their main material is very different. Transparent tape is the main material used bopp film, and aluminum foil tape is the most basic material is aluminum foil, the two adhesive is not the same, transparent tape is generally used in natural or synthetic rubber and Acrylic, while the aluminum foil tape on the adhesive requirements of the higher, the use of acrylic adhesive.
Because of the different substrates and adhesives, aluminum foil tape is much more versatile than ordinary transparent tape, so to speak, if the ordinary tape has a piggyback 36 changes, then the aluminum foil tape has the Monkey King's 72 changes, but the aluminum foil tape because of its high cost, expensive and special features such as utility, the popularity of the tape is not high in daily life, it is only in the industrial sector in some specific areas of the flashes of their own magic! It only shines its magic in some specific fields of industrial products.
Why is aluminum foil tape so powerful? It all has to do with the fact that it comes with the word "aluminum foil" - aluminum foil has extraordinary physical properties.
One of the greatest properties of aluminum foil tape is its ability to isolate electromagnetic signals, which is widely used in electronics. For example, transformers, such as home laptop computers, and desktop LCD monitors, in these appliances are wrapped with aluminum foil tape, used to shield electromagnetic signals, to strengthen and speed up the transmission of electronic signals.
Because of its role in the isolation of electromagnetic waves, but also play a role in eliminating electromagnetic damage, to protect human health. You certainly do not know, in our day to day play inside the phone, also used to aluminum foil tape, used to shield electromagnetic signals.
Aluminum foil tape also has a very powerful property: it is resistant to UV rays and corrosion. With this kind of resistance, aluminum foil tape in a lot of exceptionally harsh and harsh environment also has a place, especially in the construction of urban housing construction of oil and gas pipelines, and petrochemical pipeline, can see the figure of aluminum foil tape. Plus high-strength self-adhesive, aluminum foil tape is specially used to protect these pipelines and tower structures, highlights in the industrial industry flashes.
Still isolated, as if the aluminum foil tape is a desperate master, electromagnetic signals can be shielded, ultraviolet rays can not pass through, it is inconceivable that the same as the tape, ordinary transparent tape in case of fire on the soft, and soon burned, there is a kind of aluminum foil tape but can be fire retardant. This aluminum foil tape system using a very innovative and cutting-edge technology, is through the aluminum foil and silicone isolation paper, fiberglass cloth, the use of a high-end materials - coated with a strong adhesive flame retardant acrylic adhesive composite. So lofty aluminum foil tape is generally used in fireproof insulation nail puncture perforation and air conditioning duct system sealing and repair.
In fact, in addition to the general function of aluminum foil tape introduced above, people also play imagination, in which given a variety of other different materials, made of conductive aluminum foil tape, heater special tape, reinforced aluminum foil tape and other diverse categories, so that the aluminum foil tape in the industrial field of application more and more widely.
