HVAC optimization and insulation of similar equipment and rooftops can help lower the cost of cooling skyscrapers. Around 75% of electricity is consumed to cool down or normalize the temperature of skyscrapers and other buildings. Therefore, one of the viable options to cut this cost is to use aluminum insulation tape. Pressure-sensitive aluminum tapes can significantly lower energy and electricity costs. Here is how aluminum self-adhesive tape helps in the energy efficacy of the buildings:
-
Resists Wider Range of Temperature
Aluminum foil tape can resist a wider range of temperatures, For instance, Apac Aluminum Foil Tape can serve the best even at low temperatures of -20°C to higher temperatures of 80°C. This feature makes aluminum tape an ideal choice for sealing and insulating pipes and systems where the temperature can vary significantly such as HVAC systems and other energy types of equipment.

Reflects Heat and Light
The shiny foil surface of aluminum foil tape helps the tape to reflect heat and light at a greater angle. As a result, the surface on which the tape is applied remains fairly cooler. This very principle urges consumers to insulate ducts and other HVAC systems with aluminum foil. The tape helps the systems to consume lesser energy to cool down the internal temperature.
Also, HVAC systems are installed in very challenging environments like rooftops of the building. This makes it difficult for these systems to fight against the changing weather and temperatures. Aluminum waterproof repair tape plays a vital role in maintaining the internal temperature of the systems even in extreme weather conditions.

Conceals Tightly
One of the major chunks of the cost of electrical appliances and energy systems comes from the wear and tear of the system. If the system or appliances lack proper sealing, they might need constant repair. Therefore a durable and long-lasting solution is needed to cut this cost.
Apac Aluminum Foil Tape is a pressure-sensitive tape that uses rubber adhesive to stick on any surface. Due to its strong adhesion, the tape last longer on any kind of surface and under any weather or chemical condition. Some other aluminum glass cloth tape is also used for the same purpose. As a result, the energy systems of buildings work efficiently without demanding many repairs.
-
Prevents Air Leakage
Any tiny leakage in the energy system of the building can collapse the whole system. Not only it consumes much energy to cool down the building, but also causes a chance of fire as any flammable gas escapes the system.
Aluminum foil tape come to the rescue in this situation as it tightly conceals and packs any leakage in the system. Its strong adhesion minimizes the chances of any leakage in the pipes, duct, or HVAC system.
-
Adheres to a Range of Surfaces
Energy systems and HVAC systems are mostly installed on rooftops, floors, or even against any kind of wall. Therefore, these systems need a strong adhesion to stick with the concrete surface. Aluminum tape and aluminum duct tape solve this issue as they can adhere to a wider range of surfaces. From plastic to concrete walls, and from a smooth wide area to the smallest possible holes and cracks in the system, these tapes can perform the best. It is easy to push and squeeze them to apply on the surface.
Apac Aluminum Foil Tapes
AAB Industries LLC is an aluminum foil tape manufacturer in the UAE. Our aluminum tape price varies with the size and strength. The standard and most used width in the industry is 2-inch aluminum tape.
To save energy and cost, it is the best practice to cover the whole pipelines of HVAC and energy systems with good quality aluminum foil tape.
