    • Painter's Tape Applications

      Automotive masking tape is commonly used to protect specific areas of a vehicle’s surface from accidental damage or overspray during painting, refinishing, or clear coat applications. This painters tape can be applied to areas such as windows, trims, door handles, mirrors, and headlights to shield them from paint or chemical exposure.

      It performing extremely well when used tape on tape and with masking paper and protective film. When this tape masking on car body, it maybe need large area to masking. The Pre-taped masking film is a drop sheet that pre-folded film rolls. It makes masking better, faster and easier.

What is HVAC Tape?

 HVAC tape is Aluminum foil duct tape designed for use in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. It is commonly used to seal joints and seams in ductwork, as well as to provide insulation and prevent air leaks.

HVAC tape typically consists of a flexible backing material, such as aluminum foil or reinforced foil, coated with a strong adhesive. The backing material is often resistant to moisture, heat, and chemicals, making it suitable for the demanding conditions found in HVAC systems. The adhesive provides a secure bond and helps to maintain the integrity of the seal.

The primary purpose of HVAC tape is to create an airtight seal between ductwork components, such as sections of metal ducts or flexible ducting. By sealing the joints and seams, HVAC tape helps to prevent air leaks, which can result in energy loss, reduced system efficiency, and poor indoor air quality. It can also be used to provide insulation, particularly when applied to ducts in unconditioned spaces.

HVAC Tape Selection Guide

HVAC tape is available in a variety of types, from different adhesives to different backing materials.

  1. Synthetic rubber resin adhesive, also known as hot melt.
  2. Water based acrylic adhesive.
  3. Solvent-based acrylic adhesive.

The standard HVAC tape is made of pure aluminium foil, the foil thickness from 18um to 150um. But the thicker the foil, the more expensive it is. So the actual common thickness is up to 50um.

We usually use reinforced aluminium foil to increase its tensile strength but not much production cost.

Reinforced Aluminum Foil HVAC Tape

  1. FSK tape
  2. Aluminum foil glass cloth tape
  3. Foil scrim tape
  4. PET laminated foil tape

The table below shows the features of HVAC aluminium foil tapes, as well as the technical information for each type.

Washi Paper Tape



China washi paper tape that comes in a variety of brightly-colors. It is a ultra-thin, low tack masking tape made from Washi paper. Washi Paper Tape is popular used for interior and exterior painting projects, such as painter’s tape for walls, windows, bricks, ceiling, concrete, stucco, wall paper, fresh paint.

  • General Purpose Painter’s Tape:

    This type of painter’s tape is suitable for most interior painting projects. It offers moderate adhesion and is easy to remove without leaving residue or damaging surfaces.

  • Multi-Surface Painter’s Tape:

    It is designed to work on a variety of surfaces, including walls, trim, glass, metal, and wood. It has good adhesion and clean removal properties.

  • Rough surface Painter’s tape:

    It is ideal for rough or textured surfaces where stronger adhesion is required. It sticks well to uneven surfaces, such as brick, stucco, or concrete. However, it may have a stronger hold, which can make it more difficult to remove without causing damage.

  • Outdoor Painter’s tape:

    It is designed to withstand exposure to sunlight without leaving behind adhesive residue or causing damage. UV-resistant painter’s tape is particularly useful for outdoor painting projects or when painting surfaces that receive direct sunlight.

  • Sensitive Surface Painter’s tape:

    It is designed for the preservation of delicate surfaces during the painting process, like for touch-ups and finishes on freshly paints applied on smooth or slightly textured surfaces.

  • Delicate Surface Painter’s Tape:

    It is designed for use on more delicate surfaces such as freshly painted walls, wallpaper, faux finishes. It’s compatible with both solvent based and water-based paints and offers easy and clean removal without leaving residues.

  • Precision Line Painter’s tape:

    It features a built-in barrier that helps prevent paint bleed and achieve sharper lines. It is often used for creating intricate patterns or designs.

Crepe Paper Tape



 Crepe paper tape is a masking tape that is made from crepe paper. It is named for its crepe-like texture, which gives it flexibility and allows it to conform to uneven surfaces. Crepe paper tape is commonly used for masking or protecting surfaces during painting or other types of applications where you want to prevent paint or other substances from reaching certain areas. It is designed to be easily applied and removed without leaving residue or damaging the surface it is applied to.

There are several different types of SLAA crepe paper tape available, each with its own unique characteristics and recommended uses.
Here are some of the common types:

What Temperature can Aluminum Tape Withstand ?

 Aluminum foil tape is known for its high temperature resistance, but the specific temperature range can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product. In general, aluminum foil tape can withstand temperatures ranging from around -30°C (-22°F) to approximately 120°C (248°F) or higher.

It’s important to note that the exact temperature tolerance of aluminum foil tape can depend on various factors, such as the adhesive used, the thickness of the tape, and the duration of exposure to high temperatures. Therefore, it’s always advisable to consult SLAA tape’s specifications or guidelines provided with the specific aluminum foil tape product to determine its temperature resistance capabilities.

SLAA tapes use three main types of adhesive, each with a maximum temperature resistance:

Aluminum Foil Duct Tape

Synthetic rubber resin adhesive, Also named Hot melt adhesive.

-20 to +80 °C, -4 to +176 °F

Water-based acrylic adhesive.

-30 to +120 °C, -22 to +248 °F

Solvent-based acrylic adhesive.

-30 to +120 °C, -22 to +248 °F

If you have a specific application that involves exposure to extreme temperatures, it may be necessary to consider specialized high-temperature aluminum foil tape options that are designed to withstand even higher temperature ranges. These specialized tapes may be formulated with silicone adhesives and backing materials that can handle temperatures exceeding 150°C (302°F).

If you need to use it at higher temperatures, SLAA can also provide silicone adhesive tapes, which can withstand temperatures up to 300°C (572°F).

Additionally, it’s important to consider the compatibility of aluminum foil tape with the surface it will be applied to. Some surfaces, such as certain plastics or sensitive materials, may have lower temperature tolerances and could be affected by the heat conducted through the aluminum foil tape.

In summary, while aluminum foil tape generally exhibits good temperature resistance, it’s crucial to refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines and specifications for the specific product to ensure it is suitable for your intended temperature range.
