Aerotape™

Description

Aeroflex® Aerotape™ EPDM Foam Tape is a flexible, self-adhering EPDM foam tape designed for insulating metallic piping and sealing glued seams on AEROFLEX® EPDM™ closed-cell elastomeric insulation. This durable, non-corrosive tape minimizes heat gain or loss, controls condensation, and provides long-lasting performance for HVAC, refrigeration, and hot/cold-water piping systems.
