Insulation tape for pipes and mechanical systems

Insulation tapes play a pivotal role in the successful implementation of piping and mechanical systems. The robust adhesive solutions facilitate thermal and acoustic insulation. It enhances the functionality and safety of mechanical structures. Moreover, they reduce energy waste and contribute to an environment-friendly, efficient system.


Types of insulation tape for pipes

Avery Dennison provides a broad range of high-performance insulation tapes for diverse applications such as thermal and noise insulation, gasketing and sealing and pipe closure. We focus on providing superior adhesion and resistance. Our insulation tapes also have the ability to withstand temperature variations and moisture. This makes them ideal for complex and irregular piping systems. Unlike general-purpose tapes or adhesives, our pipe wrap tapes are specifically designed for pipe protection, insulation and sealing. 

Benefits of mechanical insulation tapes

Mechanical insulation tapes bring numerous benefits. For instance, heat-resistant insulation tape is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures. This is crucial in many industrial settings where heat is a significant factor. This is why our adhesive closure systems significantly influence the fire resistance rating of pipe insulation. They contribute to meeting stringent safety standards including the European Standard EN 13501-1 for flame retardancy, which enables safe and efficient operation and reduces potential risks associated with overheating.

Waterproof insulation tape offers resistance against moisture intrusion. It protects underlying surfaces from potential water damage. This is particularly useful in humid conditions and in systems where water or condensation could compromise the tape's adhesive properties.

Different uses for foil insulation tape

Aluminum insulation tape is a versatile product with a reflective surface and robust adhesion. A key application of foil insulation tape is in the sealing of joints and seams on fibrous boards in HVAC systems. The boards are frequently used in these systems for their insulative properties, but their effectiveness would be reduced if not properly sealed. This is where alufoil insulation tape steps in, offering an easy, efficient and durable solution. 

Foil insulation tape is also used for jacketing facing and FSK blankets. It helps to safeguard insulation materials from damage while optimizing energy efficiency. Its highly reflective surface also contributes to heat and light reflection, further enhancing energy efficiency. Its robust nature enables it to withstand extreme weather conditions. That’s why it makes it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.
