2 inch Aluminum Tape, Big Roll - Urethane Supply Company

The Urethane Supply Company 6485 2 inch Aluminum Tape, Big Roll, is a heavy-duty solution engineered for professional automotive and industrial applications, particularly in plastic welding and repair. This robust tape is designed to securely hold broken plastic components in alignment during welding procedures, preventing misalignment and ensuring precise repairs. Its resilient construction also functions as an effective heat shield, safeguarding thin plastics from excessive heat and preventing blow-through from welding rods during airless or hot air welding processes.

Key Features

• Optimized for Plastic Welding: Specifically designed to provide structural support for damaged plastic parts during welding, maintaining proper alignment.
• Heavy-Duty Thickness: Features a 3 mil thick aluminum construction that resists bending forces, crucial for stable repairs on challenging surfaces.
• Effective Heat Shield: Acts as a thermal barrier to protect delicate or thin plastics, such as bumpers and panels, from direct heat exposure during welding.
• Strong, Reliable Adhesion: Equipped with a robust adhesive layer that ensures a firm grip, even on low-energy surfaces like polyethylene.
• Durable Aluminum Construction: Made from high-quality aluminum, offering inherent resistance to chemicals, corrosion, and extreme temperatures, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Generous "Big Roll" Length: Provides an ample supply for multiple repair jobs, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Applications

This professional-grade aluminum tape is an essential tool for technicians and mechanics in collision repair shops, auto body facilities, and industrial environments. It is primarily utilized for:

• Holding cracked or broken plastic automotive parts, such as bumpers, fenders, and interior panels, in alignment during plastic welding.
• Acting as a backing to prevent blow-through when welding thin plastics.
• Creating new bumper tabs with reliable backing support. Beyond plastic repair, its properties make it suitable for various general industrial sealing, patching, and masking tasks where high heat resistance, thermal conductivity, and a strong, durable seal are required.
