HVAC & thermal insulation tapes are engineered to provide vapor barriers as well as to insure integrity of the duct/insulation system. These tapes are intended to blend with the duct/insulation surface. The UL listed foil products are printed to meet building codes. Long-term performance in divergent temperatures and ease of application in varying climates are crucial for this line.

Comments about Tape Product 491-3x50 3" Foil Tape:
Tape has good adhesion and is easy to separate from backing. Tape is reinforced with fibers to increase strength.
To use the tape, make sure you have a knife or scissors handy as you cannot tear pieces off the roll. Difficult to use in a hot attic, in a tight space.
Also, tape does not appear to be UL approved, wich may be an issue if inspections are involved.
