To manufacture their products, industries make use of a variety of materials. Among these, adhesives tapes are among those that are often used in most industries. Popular examples of adhesive tapes are foil tapes which come in a variety of sizes, types, and materials. They are also used in industries for a variety of applications.
It was in the 1930s when Richard Drew discovered the foil tape. This versatile adhesive was originally primarily used for engineering products. It was then called copper foil tape as Drew originally presented it using copper paper or foil with an adherent, sticky surface. Over the years that followed, the foil tape became widely used not only in the engineering industry but also in the electrical and construction industries.

Other applications that make use of foil tapes are those projects requiring moisture, chemical, and flame resistance, as well as those involving thermal conductivity, heat and light reflectance, and weather ability. Nonetheless, as was aforementioned, engineering, electrical, and construction industries generally use this foil tape for super bond strength with its versatile pressure sensitive adhesive usually made of aluminum or copper.
The copper foil tape is one of the widely used types of foil tape in the market. It is made from thin bands of copper which is sold in different widths and separate forms. It can be used in simple works such as gardening and novice radio operations but is more popular due to its electrical applications. Being conductive, this type of adhesive is used in safeguarding electronic components and other electronic items. It is mostly carried by electricians in order for it to be readily available when it is needed. Other than electricians, crafters also make good use of foil tapes. Art works, including mosaic and stained glass, use copper foils in holding the components of the design in one place. Crafters usually use them along with soldering irons and solders.

Another material used in the manufacture of foil tapes is aluminum. Like copper foil tapes, aluminum foil adhesives are also used for a variety of purposes. Generally, this type of said adhesive is coated with an aggressive, high temperature acrylic adhesive system that is laminated to paper or plastic films. With the aluminum foil tapes' high tack cold weather acrylic adhesive, applications of said tape include projects involving those dealing with ventilation and insulation such as HVAC systems as well as in vapor sealing of fiber glass duct board, sheet metal ducts and FSK systems. Said projects are often subject to periods of low temperature and high humidity where aluminum foil tapes still adhere well. Sealing of joints of supple ducts together with air grills also employs aluminum foil tapes.
Aside from copper and aluminum foil tapes, said kind of adhesive still comes in a variety of forms. As was earlier stated, adhesive tapes are among the materials commonly used in most industries today. As such, consumers of these said materials are given today a multitude of choices to select from. In choosing one, it is important to remember to identify the applications where the adhesive will be used to ascertain the selection of the best kind of foil tape.
