Excels in Demanding Temperature and Humidity Applications
3M™ Venture Tape™ Aluminum Foil Tape 1521CW is coated with a pressure sensitive cold weather solvent acrylic adhesive specifically designed for cold weather applications. This adhesive performs well in both demanding temperature and humidity applications. It adheres immediately on contact to a variety of materials, including fibrous and sheet metal ducts. With a service temperature ranging from -40°F/-40°C to 250°F/121°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 resists lifting and curling.
