Metal Foil Tapes: 3M Aluminum Foil Tapes, Lead Foil Tapes, Damping Foils

Aluminum Foil Tapes

Chemically resistant aluminum foil tapes can help protect products during chemical paint stripping.

• Moisture and Chemical Resistant - Help seal and protect many sensitive assemblies and surfaces.
• Thermally Conductive - Help maximize efficiency of heating or cooling by increasing transmission over broader area.
• Heat and Light Reflective - Help protect plastic components from heat damage. Help improve visibility by magnifying light sources.
• Flame Resistant - Help protect parts from flame damage.
• Outdoor Weather-able - Resist U.V. degradation, ensures long lasting performance.
• Vibration Damping - Damp resonant vibration for noise control.

Aluminum Foil/Reinforced Tapes

Aluminum foil/reinforced tape can be used to protect sensitive cables, lines, or tubes

• Highly Conformable and Non-rigidizing - Ideal for spiral wrap heat and flame protection of cables, hoses and harnesses. Wrapped flexible hoses retain flexibility.
• High Strength - Good wearability, high tear and puncture resistance.
• Flame Resistant - Help protect parts from flame and heat damage 

Lead Foil Tapes

Lead foil tapes are used in x-ray applications providing relative marker to locate defects.

• Electrically Conductive - "Thieving" action eliminates metal plating edge build-up.
• Acid Resistant - Broad applicability for etching, milling and plating operations.
• Malleable - High conformability: can be easily working with burnishing tools.
• High Density - Ideal weighting or balancing medium.
• X-ray Opacity - Help protect components from x-rays. Great marker or locator for x-ray inspection operations.

Damping Foils

Damping foils can be placed inside aircaraft fuselage to reduce cabin noise

• Noise Reduction - Unique polymer converts vibration to negligible heat.
• Fatigue Reduction - Reduced vibration helps prolong product life.
