Do you know what kind of tape is wrapped around the rubber-plastic insulation pipe? We all know that outdoor pipes are usually covered with insulation pipes to help keep warm and sunscreen. In order to extend the life of the pipeline, people will manually wrap aluminum foil tape on the outside of the insulation pipe after the rubber-plastic pipe is sheathed.

 

In this way, it can also protect the pipeline to improve thermal efficiency and reduce heat loss, and at the same time prevent the pipeline from aging and powdering due to wind and sun. 

 

 

The function of aluminum foil tape

 

The gas pipeline can be bandaged. For example, if there is a hole in the pipeline, it can be wrapped with aluminum foil tape. The gas pipeline can be used again without failure. For example, a car can be repaired with aluminum foil tape to prevent the pipeline from aging.

 

Aluminum foil tape also has anti-radiation effect, so it is widely used in the electronics industry. Our mobile phones or tablet pc can be sealed with aluminum foil tape.

 

Aluminum foil tape is also effective in preventing temperature dissipation. It has the function of heat preservation. If some steam pipes have cracks or no cracks, they can also be pasted with aluminum foil tape, which can effectively prevent aging of the pipes and avoid heat dissipation. And Arched Metal Detector, SCR Urea Pump Controller for sale and other machinery industries need aluminum foil tape for high-temperature spray paint protection, and high-temperature binding and fixation.
