Tale of the Tape

HVAC and Ductwork:Butyl sealant tape is often used to seal joints and seams in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as ductwork.

For instance, in construction sites, yellow tape may be used to outline areas that are off-limits or require special attention. In warehouses, it can signify pathways or areas where heavy machinery operates. By using yellow insulation tape, organizations can ensure that workers are aware of potential hazards, thereby reducing accidents and enhancing overall safety.

Water-activated adhesives are very popular for packing tape. When the adhesive is used on cardboard, the bond it creates is so strong that the tape cannot be removed without damaging the cardboard. As a result, it is the perfect tamper-evident packaging. No one can open a box sealed with water-activated tape without leaving obvious evidence. Water-based is the cheapest of all adhesives.

Fireproof gasket tape is typically composed of materials that are resistant to high temperatures and flames, such as silicone, fiberglass, and aramid fibers. These materials not only provide excellent insulation but also exhibit remarkable durability under extreme conditions. The primary function of the tape is to create a seal between different surfaces, which helps prevent the passage of smoke, fire, and heat.
