COLD WEATHER ALUMINUM FOIL TAPE - 2" x 150 FTIntertape's cold-weather aluminum foil tape (model 9502) delivers strong bonding, vapor barrier integrity, and flame retardance for HVAC duct seaming, patching, and sealing in temperature extremes. The cold-weather acrylic adhesive stays tacky below freezing (rated to roughly -20 deg F for application) where standard foil tapes go brittle and fail to bond. Meets HUD-BOCA codes and the UL-723 / ASTM E84 flame-spread / smoke-developed ratings required for plenum and concealed-space use.
- Size: 2" wide x 150 Ft roll
- Backing: 2 mil dead-soft aluminum foil with 1.75 mil aggressive acrylic adhesive
- Color: Silver (dead-soft aluminum)
- Application temp: as low as -20 deg F (cold-weather adhesive system)
- Service temp: -22 deg F to +302 deg F continuous
- Compliance: UL-723 / ASTM E84 Class A, HUD-BOCA, flame retardant
- Vapor barrier: excellent (foil backing is impermeable to water vapor)
- UV and weather resistance with reflective heat properties
- General-purpose HVAC duct seaming, patching, and joint sealing
Tip: The 2" width is the workhorse seam tape - matches the typical longitudinal and transverse seams on small to mid-size residential rigid sheet-metal duct, fiberboard duct seams, and flexible duct collar wraps. Burnish the tape firmly with a plastic squeegee or stiff card after application; the adhesive only reaches full grab once it's pressed into intimate contact with the surface. Wipe ducts clean of oil and dust first - any contamination prevents the adhesive from forming a vapor-tight seal.
