HVAC Duct Sealing & Insulation Tapes
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Comprehensive Sealing Solutions for HVAC Systems
Our aluminum foil tapes for HVAC applications are engineered to provide a robust, long-term seal for joints, seams, and insulation on rigid and flexible ductwork. These tapes feature a high-performance, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive system that adheres effectively across a broad temperature range, ensuring integrity in varying operational conditions. The aluminum backing offers excellent vapor barrier properties and thermal reflectivity, crucial for minimizing energy loss and preventing condensation. Available in various thicknesses and reinforced options (such as FSK), they meet the stringent demands of commercial and residential installations, contributing directly to system efficiency and longevity.
- Barrier Integrity: Creates an impermeable seal against moisture and vapor.
- Thermal Stability: Maintains adhesive performance from extreme cold to elevated operating temperatures.
- Durability: Highly resistant to mold, mildew, and environmental degradation.
Why Choose Us
Engineered Features and Performance Benefits
- Optimized Adhesion: Utilizes an aggressive acrylic adhesive that achieves fast initial tack and maintains long-term shear strength on various surfaces, including metal, plastic, and insulation facing.
- Thermal Efficiency Contribution: The highly reflective aluminum surface reduces radiant heat transfer, enhancing the overall thermal performance of insulated ducts.
- Resistance to Environmental Stress: Exhibits verifiable resistance to UV exposure, high humidity, and common chemical cleaning agents, ensuring the seal does not degrade prematurely.
- Cost-Effectiveness at Scale: As a factory direct manufacturer, SXT provides volume production capabilities that result in a 10%-15% cost saving compared to typical EU suppliers, without compromising certified quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What is the minimum required temperature for successful application?
- A: For optimal adhesion and curing of the acrylic adhesive, the recommended surface and ambient temperature during application is above 4∘C (40∘F).
- Q: Are these tapes suitable for use outdoors or in high-humidity environments?
- A: Yes, our HVAC foil tapes feature water-base or solvent acrylic adhesives with robust moisture resistance, making them suitable for protected outdoor use and high-humidity areas, effectively maintaining the vapor barrier.
- Q: Can these tapes be used on low-energy surfaces like certain plastics?
- A: While designed for metal and insulation, for low-energy surfaces, we recommend specific models with higher tack, solvent-based acrylic adhesives, which offer improved grip characteristics.
