The Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Specialists in Adhesive Tapes & Glues
PSA1517CWA is a 72mm x 45 Metre 30 Micron Cold Weather Aluminium Foil Duct Tape with high-strength foil tape carrying a patented cold weather adhesive system. This tape is a vapour sealing tape for foil-faced insulation products.
The patented adhesive system makes it ideal for bonding at low and high temperatures and in environments of high humidity. Consequently, this foil tape is constructed specifically for use in extreme environments. This tape has been field tested for applications in temperatures as low as -10°C (-2°C) and stable up to 250°F (12°C).
The fact this aluminium foil tape is ideal for extreme environments ensures secure, reliable bonding in all conditions. As well as being secure and reliable, this foil tape continues to self-cross-link after application. This self-cross-link means the bond strength increases over time and ensures secure and reliable splices.

Ideal for jobs requiring the following:
Moisture resistance
Our 'cold start' patented acrylic adhesive is solvent-based and resistant to Moisture. What this means to you is that it can be applied even in cold, damp conditions.
Chemical resistance
Our 'cold start' patented acrylic adhesive is solvent-based and resistant to chemicals when in situ.
Flame resistance
Our 'cold start' patented acrylic adhesive is solvent-based and flame resistant, being class 'O' Certified. This certification ensures that the tape provides an additional level of protection in high-risk areas where limited combustibility is required.
Thermal conductivity
Our 'cold start' foil range is ideal when heat reflectance and thermal conductivity are required. These products are specifically formulated to protect sensitive components in various applications.
Heat reflectance
Our 'cold start' acrylic foil tapes are perfect for heat shielding in demanding applications. In situ, the product will help shield components sensitive to heat.
Good in bad weather
The ultimate in all-weather tapes. This tape excels in demanding temperatures from -40°C to 120°C.
Main features of the 30 Micron Aluminum Foil Tape include:
Solvent based adhesive
As a result of this foil tape being a solvent-based adhesive, it provides immediate waterproofing protection after application, even before they have dried. The waterproofing of this foil tape ensures that rain hitting it after the application is not a significant concern.
This tape is not damaged by freezing temperatures and better adheres to porous surfaces.
Ready to use
No extra on-site additives are required to apply this tape.
Excellence adhesion to wood-based sheathings
Ideal for light commercial products where excellent adhesion is required.
Additional information
Storage:
This tape should ideally be stored at temperatures of 16°C to 25°C.
Please note:
This aluminium foil tape is unsuitable for attaching Polystyrene to Polystyrene or for use with mesh.
