Aluminium Foil Acoustic Jointing Tape

Part Code A290 A superior quality aluminium tape for use with a range of our products. Provides an airtight and moisture tight seal. APPLICATION The surface to which the tape is to be applied must be clean and dry. Dust, dirt, oil, grease and moisture on the surface will result in poor adhesion. For best results, before applying the tape, the surface should be wiped clean with a safe solvent, using a lint free cloth. Solvent must be fully evaporated before application of tape. Fix insulation carefully so that slabs or sections abut with no gaps. Open joints will permit localised heating which may in turn affect the adhesion of thre foil tape. Do not unwrap unsulation until immediately required for use. When bonding to an embossed or ribbed surface the tape may not be in 100% contact so adhesion values will be reduced. Allowances must be made for this by using tape of adequate width. THis is a minimum of 50mm on good flat close butt joints. However on angled or contoured surfaces use tape wide enough to allow 50mm either side of the join. Remove tape from roll, discard release paper, align tape centrally over joints and rub down well over the entire area of the tape taking care to avoid wrinkles, folds and undue tension. Avoid touching the adhesive surface as dirt, oils and grease may be transfered and impair adhesion. Allow an adequate overlap of the tape onto itself of at least twice its width. If possible fold back about 25mm of one end of the tape so that when the overlap is made this section of the bond will be adhesive on adhesive.
