Tri-Directional Reinforced Backing
3M™ Venture Tape™ FSK Facing Tape 1525CW is a 5.5 mil tri-directional reinforced tape that excels in demanding temperature and humidity applications. It is comprised of a foil/scrim/kaft laminated backing coated with a cold weather acrylic adhesive. This backing is flexible and conforms well to irregular surfaces and curves. With superior resistance to weathering, mold, UV and environmental conditions, this tape performs extremely well in demanding cold and hot temperature applications. It applies easily to both fibrous and sheet metal ductwork and is easily installed without special tools or application methods.
3M™ Venture Tape™ FSK Facing Tape 1525CW is UL723 Classified (10/10 Flame/Smoke Rating). The facing meets ASTM C1136 type II and IV.
Recommended Applications
- Sealing applications for fibrous ductboard, sheet metal ducts and blankets
- Vapor seal for reinforced aluminum faced fiberglass or mineral wool thermal insulation
Ultimate in Cold Weather Tapes
3M™ Venture Tape™ FSK Facing Tape 1525CW is coated with a pressure sensitive, cold weather solvent acrylic adhesive specifically designed for cold weather applications, though this adhesive performs well at normal and high temperatures as well. This adhesive features a quick stick at normal temperatures and superior low temperature performance. With a service temperature ranging from -40°F/-40°C to 240°F/116°C, this tape can be applied in a variety of environmental conditions. Once bonded, it will provide good holding power for extended periods with good aging properties that resist lifting and curling.
The Science of Better Adhesion from 3M
Since 1925 when one of our lab assistants invented masking tape, 3M has been applying science to life –developing adhesive products and technologies that help entire industries and individual businesses worldwide. The work that began with a single 3M engineer now spans decades and generations. And all of it goes into each of our industrial tapes and adhesive, like 3M™ Venture Tape™ FSK Facing Tape 1525CW – to help businesses like yours operate faster, better and more efficiently.
