Reinforced Laminate with Zero Permeability Provides Vapor Barrier
3M™ VentureClad™ Heavy Duty Insulation Jacketing Tape 1579GCW-WM is a heavy-duty multi-layered laminate coated with an aggressive cold weather pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive that delivers excellent peel adhesion. Featuring zero permeability, this tape serves as a vapor barrier, making it ideal for applications where preventing air penetration is crucial. This tape is reinforced for high (55 lbs./244 N) puncture and tear resistance as well as excellent chemical resistance, allowing it to be used in interior and exterior applications where extra durability is required. It installs easily without the use of special tools. It includes a release liner to assist in applying the tape and to protect the adhesive prior to application.
3M™ VentureClad™ Heavy Duty Insulation Jacketing Tape 1579GCW-WM is tested to ASTM E84 (20/30 Flame/Smoke Rating).
Recommended Applications
- Vapor barrier for heavy duty insulation cladding and jacketing
Adheres in Cold Temperatures
3M™ VentureClad™ Heavy Duty Insulation Jacketing Tape 1579GCW-WM features an aggressive pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive that bonds and seals at temperatures as cold as -10°F (-23°C). This adhesive adheres immediately on contact to a variety of materials. It performs well under a broad range of temperatures ranging from -94°F to 248°F (-70°C to 120°C). Once bonded, this tape will provide good holding power for extended periods with good aging properties that resists lifting and curling over time.
