SS Reinforced Fiberglass Alu Foil Tape
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Ultra-High Strength Sealing with Stainless Steel Mesh Reinforcement
The SS (Stainless Steel) Reinforced Fiberglass Aluminum Foil Tape is a premier sealing and jacketing product engineered for maximum mechanical strength and temperature endurance. This laminate structure combines the superior reflection and vapor barrier properties of a thick aluminum foil with an embedded scrim of high-tensile fiberglass mesh, further reinforced by fine stainless steel wire strands. This unique combination provides exceptional puncture, tear, and tensile strength, making it suitable for demanding applications where thermal insulation must be maintained under high physical stress or vibration. It is the choice solution for protecting insulation and sealing joints in high-velocity airflow or areas prone to physical damage.
- Extreme Tensile Strength: Reinforcement provides mechanical integrity that resists external forces.
- Puncture Resistance: SS wire and fiberglass mesh prevent accidental material penetration.
- Enhanced Durability: Maintains vapor barrier and thermal shield in the most challenging industrial environments.
Why Choose Us
Unmatched Mechanical and Thermal Performance
- Extreme Mechanical Robustness: The integrated stainless steel strands provide a level of structural reinforcement that prevents seam separation and material failure under extreme tension, vibration, or minor external impacts, significantly increasing system reliability.
- Superior Vapor Barrier and Sealing: The aluminum foil backing and highly aggressive adhesive system maintain a near-zero water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) even when subjected to high differential pressures.
- Dimensional Stability at Temperature: The fiberglass and stainless steel components ensure the tape exhibits minimal thermal expansion or contraction, preventing buckling and peeling from the substrate during rapid temperature cycling.
- Long-Term Cost Effectiveness: While the initial cost is higher than standard tapes, the extended service life and reduced maintenance required in demanding environments translate to a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Is the SS Reinforced tape electrically conductive due to the stainless steel?
- A: Yes, the tape's aluminum foil and stainless steel reinforcement are electrically conductive. This makes it suitable for applications requiring static discharge or grounding, but caution must be used to ensure the electrical system is properly designed to handle this conductivity.
- Q: What surface irregularities can this tape accommodate?
- A: Due to the high stiffness imparted by the SS mesh, this tape is designed for relatively flat, clean surfaces. For highly irregular or curved surfaces (e.g., small diameter pipes), we recommend our more conformable, non-reinforced Pure Aluminum Foil Tape.
- Q: What is the benefit of the fiberglass mesh in addition to the stainless steel?
- A: The fiberglass mesh provides essential non-directional stability and bulk strength across the width of the tape, while the stainless steel strands offer localized, ultra-high tensile and puncture resistance, creating a composite material with optimized overall performance.
