Adhesives & Sealants: ECHOtape Insulation Tape
ECHOtape introduces four new products to launch its Insulation Tape Line for residential and commercial contractors. The line includes a variety of seaming and double-sided tapes used in the mechanical insulation industry as well as with reflective insulation systems.
Products include All Purpose Aluminum Foil Tape, an All Purpose White Aluminum Foil Tape, an All Temperature FSK Insulation Tape and a Cold Weather Double Coated Polyester Tape. These will initially be available through Service Partners (www.service-partners.com), one of the largest distributors of insulation products in the United States.
Over the next several months, additional Facing Tapes and an All Service Jacketing (ASJ) Tape will be added to the line.
The All Purpose Aluminum Foil Tapes are used on seams and joints of fiberglass and aluminum-backed duct board, jacketing, and for seaming reflective insulation. These high-strength tapes are coated with a superior-performance, flame-retardant solvent acrylic adhesive. Applications for this tape include sealing joints and seams of foil-faced insulation materials.
The All Temperature FSK (Foil, Scrim and Kraft) Insulation Tape uses a combined pressure-sensitive adhesive and release liner to seal cold and dual-temperature duct seams and joints where FSK is the basic insulation facing. The tape is coated with a high-performance, flame-retardant cold weather acrylic adhesive, and is designed for tear-resistant sealing. The tape has an excellent adhesion capability at normal application temperatures, combined with super low temperature performance. Applications for this tape include seaming and joining joints of FSK laminated board and jacketing insulation.
The Cold Weather Double Coated Polyester Tape is a high-performance double-sided polyester film (PET) tape that forms a permanent bond with a wide variety of surfaces. The tape is coated on both sides with cold weather acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive. Applications for this tape include lap seals on laminated and reflective insulation, permanent bonding of foams, plastics, metals and composite materials, and insulation mounting under a broad range of environmental and temperature conditions.
The All Purpose White Aluminum Foil Tape is a foil tape with a white aluminum facer to match the acrylic-coated aluminum facing of THERMAX & Atlas. This tape is also coated with a superior-performance, flame-retardant solvent acrylic. The tape is used to laminate insulation materials such as rigid polystyrene boards and fiberglass. Applications for this tape include lap joint and vapor seal on Dow THERMAX foil face board, joining and sealing flexible air duct seams and connections, and general purpose holding, patching, sealing and masking applications both indoors and outdoors.
