3M 7100053596 Aluminum Foil Tape 1.96 in X 60.14 Yd 4.6 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7100053596 is a dead-soft aluminum foil tape with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive backing, designed for demanding thermal, chemical, and sealing applications across HVAC, industrial, and construction trades. The foil measures 1.96 inches wide and 60.14 yards long with a total tape thickness of 4.6 mil. The soft aluminum foil construction conforms readily to curved, uneven, and irregular surfaces, making it a reliable choice for seaming duct work, heat shielding assemblies, and chemical masking operations. The acrylic adhesive provides long-term bond durability while still releasing cleanly after temporary masking use.

This tape sees regular use in HVAC duct sealing and seaming, heat shield fabrication, light reflector assemblies, and chemical milling or de-paint masking. It is suited for both residential and commercial applications where resistance to heat, moisture, UV exposure, and weathering is required. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers. Each roll ships with a plastic core for easy dispensing.

Key Features

• Dead-soft aluminum foil backing conforms to curved and uneven surfaces
• Pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive bonds durably and removes cleanly after masking service
• Heat and light reflective surface protects temperature-sensitive materials and improves lighting efficiency
• Resistant to flame, weathering, moisture, and UV exposure
• Thermally conductive construction helps dissipate heat and supports heating and cooling efficiency
• Chemical-resistant for use in de-paint and chemical masking operations
• UL Recognized to UL 746C and UL Classified to UL 723, Class L low flammability rating

Compatibility

Designed for HVAC duct seaming and sealing, heat shielding, chemical masking, chemical milling, seaming, and light-enhancement applications across residential and commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or industrial maintenance professionals. Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free of oils or loose debris before applying the tape for maximum adhesion. When used in HVAC duct applications, follow applicable mechanical codes and manufacturer recommendations for surface preparation. Avoid stretching the foil during application to prevent tearing and ensure a uniform seal.
