Copper Foil Tape Is Also A Great Craft Material

Taking its name from the metal foil backing, Copper Foil Tape is a versatile tape used in a wide variety of applications. It combines the durability of aluminum, copper, and lead foil with a superior adhesive system to create a strong seal that is easy to use and maintain for long periods of time.

In addition to its practical uses, the copper tape is also a great craft material. Its shiny silver color and smooth texture make it attractive to the eye, and it can be die-cut into creative shapes to form unique patterns.

Professional HVAC installers and DIYers frequently use copper foil tape to seal leaks in duct systems. This helps prevent heated or cooled air from escaping and makes heating and cooling systems run more efficiently. It also makes it easier to fix damaged ducts by providing a more durable and reliable barrier between insulation materials and the rest of the system.

Electrically conductive, this tape is designed for EMI/RFI (electromagnetic interference/radio-frequency interference) shielding applications in the electronic and electrical industry. It is available plain or with a conductive or nonconductive adhesive in custom sizes and shapes.

It is ideal for printed circuit board modification, security-alarm circuit repairs, and prototype wiring-board layout and design. It can be soldered and resists oxidation and discoloration.

There are many types of copper foil tape, but the most common are single-sided coated copper foil adhesive tape and double-sided rubberized copper foil adhesive tape. Single-sided tape is a nonconductive single-lead tape with a conductive rubberized surface, while double-sided tape has a conductive rubberized surface on one side and copper foil on the other.
