3M™ Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil Tape 438, Silver, 2-1/2 in x 60 yd, 7.2 mil, 16 Roll/Case

Withstands Exposure to High Heat and Humidity

Consisting of a dead soft, thermally conductive aluminum backing, 3M™ Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil Tape 438 dissipates heat over the surface of the tape to reduce hot spots and protect the substrate from the effects of high temperatures. Coated with highly engineered acrylic adhesive, it is capable of withstanding exposure to high heat and humidity while maintaining a strong and reliable bond. This tape can withstand a variety of moisture, weathering, UV and solvents in order to provide an excellent work life, indoors or out.

3M™ Aluminum Foil Tape 438 is UL Recognized to UL 746C (File E 122798) and Classified by UL to UL 723 "L" for low flammability rating (File R 7311). It meets F.A.R 25.853(a). Temperature use range is from -65°; to 300°F (-54°; to 149°C).
