COLD WEATHER ALUMINUM FOIL TAPE - 3" x 150 FTIntertape's cold-weather aluminum foil tape (model 9503) 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: 3" 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 3" width is the wide-coverage seam tape - the right pick for taping the joint between sheet-metal duct and a fiberglass duct board, sealing collar-to-plenum transitions, wrapping flexible-duct insulation jacket seams, and patching duct leaks larger than 1/2" diameter. The extra width gives you a wider adhesive footprint on either side of the seam centerline, which matters on rougher fiberglass duct board where edge lift can develop over years. Burnish firmly with a plastic squeegee after application.
