Customer Background
A commercial HVAC insulation contractor in the Middle East required a dependable foam tape solution for duct sealing and insulation joint applications in large building projects.
Their projects included:
Shopping malls
Office towers
Industrial ventilation systems
The customer needed a tape that could maintain sealing performance under long-term temperature and humidity exposure.
Challenge: Air Leakage and Poor Insulation Joint Sealing
The customer previously used low-grade foam tapes that caused:
Weak adhesion on aluminum foil faced insulation
Foam shrinkage after installation
Joint gaps leading to air leakage
Difficult application on uneven duct surfaces
These issues increased energy loss and required frequent maintenance.
Solution Provided: Closed Cell PE Foam Tape for Insulation Sealing
We recommended our closed cell PE foam tape designed for HVAC insulation systems.

FAQ
What foam tape is best for HVAC duct sealing?
Closed cell PE foam tape with acrylic adhesive is widely used for duct insulation joints because it provides strong sealing and moisture resistance.
Can foam tape handle temperature changes in HVAC systems?
Yes. High-quality insulation foam tape performs well under thermal cycling from cold air flow to warm ambient conditions.
Do you supply foam tape in jumbo rolls for insulation factories?
Yes. We provide jumbo rolls and custom slit sizes for large-scale HVAC insulation production.
