Aircraft Window Masking: 3M™ Aluminum Foil Tapes offer the conformability and chemical resistance to protect aircraft windows during harsh chemical paint stripping applications. 3M™ Aluminum Foil Tape 427 is available in easy to apply die-cut shapes.

 

Garage Door Opener Housing: 3M™ Aluminum Foil Tapes offer high heat reflectivity and excellent thermal conductivity required to protect heat sensitive substrates from damage. Excellent conformability makes 3M™ Aluminum Foil Tapes easy to apply in many configurations.

 

Appliance: Thermally conductive dead-soft 3M™ Aluminum Foil Tape 425 firmly holds copper cooling tubes to refrigerator panels to help maximize cooling efficiency.

         
 
 

Transportation: 3M™ Aluminum Foil Tapes have excellent moisture resistance. Here they are applied to the interior of a door panel to dampen vibration and seal out moisture and dust.

 

Thermal Conductivity: 3M™ Aluminum Foil Tapes have excellent thermal conductivity which make them a popular choice for dispensing heat and cold in many applications. Wrapped around coils and elements they rapidly disperse heat and cold reducing energy requirements and improving system performance.
