FOAM TAPE, PREMIUM
Superior Insulation and Condensation Prevention
FOAM TAPE, PREMIUM is a high-performance, self-adhesive insulation tape engineered for maximum efficiency and condensation control in HVAC/R and plumbing applications. Made from a premium expanded, closed-cell elastomeric material, it creates a highly effective vapor barrier that stops condensation on cold pipes and surfaces, preventing water damage, mold growth, and moisture-related corrosion. It provides an unmatched level of thermal protection compared to traditional materials , a single layer provides a 0.26 K-factor, delivering over 40% higher insulation than standard cork tapes. Maintains its integrity and insulating properties across a safe operating range of –15°F to 160°F (-26°C to 71°C), making it ideal for both residential and most commercial applications.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Self Adhesive Backing: Easy to apply – ensures quick and convenient installation with minimal effort. Easy peel backing.
- Durable & Flexible: Will not harden, crack, shrink, or pull away when properly applied, even under thermal cycling.
- Corrosion Resistant: Safe for all metals, will not corrode copper, iron, or other metal surfaces.
- Paintable: Can be painted to match surrounding surfaces.
- Compatible Surfaces: Adheres reliable to clean metals, glass, plastic, and painted surfaces.
- Acoustic Dampening: Effective sounds deadening and vibration barrier – reduces noise transmission from piping and equipment.
- Seals Gap: Easily fills and seals small gaps, joints, and irregular surfaces.

Directions:
For best results and to ensure a long-lasting, secure bond:
-
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the pipe or fitting surface is clean, dry, and free of moisture, oil, or rust.
- Initial Wrap: Remove the release paper and begin spirally wrapping the tape around the piping.
- Optimal Overlap: For maximum efficiency and a continuous seal, wrap the tape with approximately 50% overlap.
- Do Not Stretch: Apply the tape by pressing it firmly into place, avoiding excessive stretching.
- Insulating Fittings: For complex surfaces like valves and tees, cut small sections of tape to press and mold into place until the metal is completely covered.
- Build Thickness: For areas with extreme conditions, apply additional layers of tape to reach the required insulation thickness.
- Final Securement: Press down firmly over the entire tape surface to ensure the pressure-sensitive adhesive has fully adhered.
DANGERS & PRECAUTIONS:
Keep out of reach of children. Store in dry cool areas.
