Aluminium Tape in Kenya

Looking for a reliable sealing tape that performs under heat, humidity, and pressure? Aluminium tape, also known as foil tape, is the go-to solution for professionals in HVAC, construction, insulation, and electrical industries. At Bioflex Insulation Ltd, we supply premium aluminium tape rolls that offer strong adhesion, heat resistance, and reflective insulation performance—trusted by contractors across Kenya and East Africa.

What is Aluminium Tape?

Aluminium tape is made from a thin aluminum foil backing coated with a heat-resistant, pressure-sensitive adhesive. Some varieties include a reinforced mesh backing or kraft-paper liner for added strength.

It’s commonly used for:

• Sealing insulation seams
• Wrapping HVAC ducts
• Creating vapor barriers
• Reflecting radiant heat

Aluminium tape is commonly used together with thermal insulation materials to seal joints and improve system efficiency.

Common Applications of Aluminium Tape

1. HVAC Duct Sealing

Used to:

• Seal joints in air conditioning ducts
• Close gaps in ventilation systems
• Improve energy efficiency by reducing air leaks

2. Thermal Insulation Taping

Aluminium tape secures:

• PE foam, Armaflex, or rockwool insulation sheets
• Joins between foil-faced insulation boards
• Edges of reflective bubble wraps or radiant barriers

3. Moisture & Vapor Barrier Sealing

Aluminium tape is water-resistant and forms an effective vapor seal, ideal for:

• Cold room seams
• Duct wraps in humid areas
• Pipe insulation joints exposed to moisture

4. Heat and Fire Protection Wrapping

Due to its reflective properties, aluminium tape is used for:

• Wrapping wires or components near heat sources
• Covering seams in the oven and boiler insulation
• Providing radiant heat shielding

5. Electrical & General Industrial Applications

• EMI shielding in electrical systems
• Protection of cables, hoses, or conduit
• Sealing and repairs on high-temperature machinery
