Mylar aluminium foil tape is a composite adhesive tape made by laminating a layer of polyester (Mylar) film with aluminium foil and coating it with a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). This unique structure combines the strength and flexibility of Mylar with the barrier properties and reflectivity of aluminium foil.
The result is a high-performance tape that provides electrical insulation, thermal shielding, and reflective protection across multiple industries.
Key Properties of Mylar Aluminium Foil Tape
- Excellent Barrier Properties: Resistant to moisture, dust, and chemical exposure. Provides long-lasting protection in harsh environments.
- High Reflectivity: Reflects heat and light efficiently. Reduces energy loss and improves thermal management.
- Electrical Insulation: Mylar film ensures stable dielectric strength. Prevents short circuits in electrical and electronic applications.
- Durability: Strong adhesion to metals, plastics, and composites. Resists aging, corrosion, and wear.
Applications of Mylar Aluminium Foil Tape
- Electronics & Electrical: Used for cable shielding, electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, and insulation in transformers, capacitors, and coils.
- Construction & HVAC: Applied for sealing ductwork, thermal insulation, and reflective barriers to improve energy efficiency.
- Automotive Industry: Provides heat shielding for engine compartments, battery packs, and wiring harnesses.
- Packaging & Industrial Uses: Protects sensitive components from moisture, dust, and electrostatic discharge.
Benefits for Industrial Users
- Enhances product reliability with consistent insulation and shielding performance.
- Offers cost-effective thermal and electrical protection compared to other materials.
- Easy to handle, cut, and apply in OEM production and repair applications.
Conclusion
Mylar aluminium foil tape is a versatile solution that combines the strength of polyester film with the barrier and reflective properties of aluminium foil. It is widely used in electronics, automotive, HVAC, and construction industries for shielding, insulation, and thermal management.
