3M 7000048712 Venting Tape Pink 2in X 36yd 4.0 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000048712 is a pink venting tape designed for applications that require controlled outgassing during foam insulation processes. It features a 5.0 mil air-permeable, non-woven backing combined with a strip-coated acrylic adhesive. The strip-coating pattern leaves uncoated zones across the adhesive layer, which increases permeability and helps minimize foaming voids during cure. This tape is installed by insulation contractors and HVAC technicians working with foam insulation systems where gas must escape the assembly in a controlled manner.

This tape is suited for venting applications in residential and commercial construction where foam insulation outgassing is a concern. It confines foam insulation while allowing trapped gases to escape, reducing the risk of void formation and delamination. Typical scenarios include panel lamination, foam-in-place insulation assemblies, and similar processes that generate high outgassing rates during curing. The roll format at 2 inches wide by 36 yards long is practical for production and field use alike.

Key Features

• Air-permeable non-woven backing allows controlled outgassing during foam cure
• Strip-coated acrylic adhesive creates uncoated zones for elevated permeability
• Minimizes foaming voids by allowing gas escape while confining insulation material
• Pink color aids visual identification during installation and inspection
• 5.0 mil total thickness suitable for general venting tape applications
• Roll format at 2 inches wide by 36 yards long for field and production use

Compatibility

Designed for use in venting applications requiring high outgassing rates, particularly with foam insulation systems where confinement and controlled gas release are required during cure.

Installation Notes

Applied by insulation contractors or HVAC technicians as part of foam insulation assemblies. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or oils before applying the tape to achieve proper adhesion. Apply consistent pressure along the full tape length to ensure contact between the strip-coated adhesive and the substrate. Follow all applicable building codes and foam insulation manufacturer guidelines for venting tape placement and coverage.
