PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What makes 3M™ Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil Tape different from regular tape?

    3M™ Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil Tape is made with a strong polyethylene backing and coated with synthetic rubber adhesive, which makes it much more durable than regular tapes. It can also withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions.

  2. Can I use this tape for HVAC applications?

    Absolutely! In fact, our Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil Tape is specifically designed for HVAC ductwork sealing and repair. Its high-performance capabilities make it ideal for even the toughest jobs.

  3. How long does a roll of 3M™ Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil Tape last?

    While it ultimately depends on how often you use it, one roll of the tape measures at 60 yards in length--enough to last you through multiple projects or repairs. Plus, since it's so heavy duty, you shouldn't have to worry about replacing it too frequently.
