Among the numerous tape products, aluminum adhesive tape stands out as a dazzling star due to its unique properties and wide range of applications. Aluminum adhesive tape is wide and thin in shape, with one side coated with a high-strength adhesive, similar to transparent tape. However, their primary materials are significantly different. The main material of transparent tape is BOPP film, while the basic material of aluminum adhesive tape is aluminum foil. The adhesives between the two also differ. Transparent tape generally uses natural or synthetic rubber and acrylic, while aluminum adhesive tape requires higher quality adhesives, typically using acrylic glue.
Due to the differences in substrate and adhesive, aluminum adhesive tape is much more superior than ordinary transparent tape. It can be said that if ordinary tape has the 36 transformations of Zhu Bajie, aluminum adhesive tape has the 72 transformations of Sun Wukong. However, due to its high cost and expensive price, aluminum adhesive tape has special uses and is not widely popular in daily life. It only shines with its magical glow in certain specific fields of industrial products.
The widespread application of aluminum adhesive tape is related to its inherent "aluminum foil" properties—aluminum foil possesses extraordinary physical characteristics. The most significant feature of aluminum adhesive tape is its ability to block electromagnetic signals, making it widely used in the electronics field. For instance, transformers, household laptops, and desktop computer monitors all have aluminum adhesive tape wrapped around them to shield electromagnetic signals and enhance and accelerate the transmission of electronic signals.
Because of its ability to block electromagnetic waves, it also helps prevent electromagnetic damage and protect human health. You probably don't know that the mobile phone we use every day also contains aluminum adhesive tape to shield electromagnetic signals.
Aluminum adhesive tape also boasts a very impressive property: UV resistance and corrosion resistance. Thanks to its durability, aluminum adhesive tape is also useful in many extremely harsh and adverse environments, especially in the construction of urban buildings' oil and gas pipelines, as well as in petrochemical transportation pipelines, where aluminum adhesive tape can be found. Additionally, with its high-strength self-adhesion, aluminum adhesive tape is specifically used to protect these pipelines and tower structures, making it a highlight in the industrial sector. Moreover, it acts as an insulator, almost like an indifferent entity that can shield electromagnetic signals and block ultraviolet rays. It's hard to imagine that, as a type of tape, while ordinary transparent tape softens and quickly ignites when exposed to fire, aluminum adhesive tape is fire retardant. The manufacturing of this aluminum adhesive tape employs very innovative and cutting-edge techniques, involving the combination of aluminum foil, silicone release paper, and glass fiber cloth, using a high-end material—a strongly adhesive, flame-retardant acrylic adhesive compound.
