3M Metal Foil Tapes: Embossing & Tape Supplies Pty Limited.

3M^TM Metal Foil Tapes
3M Aluminium Foil Tapes Moisture and Chemical Resistant - Help seal and protect many sensitive assemblies and surface. Thermally Conductive - Help maximise efficiency of heating or cooling by increasing transmission over broader area. Heat and Light Reflective - Help protect plastic components from heat damage. Help improve visibility by magnifying light sources. Flame resistance - Help protect parts from flame damage. Outdoor Weatherable - Resist UV degradation, ensures long lasting performance. Vibration Damping - Damp resonant vibration for noise control. 3M Aluminium Foil / Reinforced Tapes Highly Conformable and Non-rigidising - Ideal for spiral wrap heat and flame protection of cable, hoses and harnesses. Wrapped flexible hoses retail flexibility. High Strength - Good wearability, high tear and puncture resistance. Flame Resistant - Help protect parts from flame and heat damage. 3M Lead Foil Tapes Electrically Conductive - "Thieving" action eliminated metal plating edge build-up. Acid Resistant - Broad applicability for etching, milling and plating operations. Malleable - High conformability: can be easily worked with burnishing tools. High Density - Ideal weighting or balancing medium. X-ray Opacity - Help protect components from x-rays. Great marker or locator for x-ray inspection operations. 3M Damping Foils Noise Reduction - Unique polymer converts vibration to negligible heat. Fatigue Reduction - Reduced vibration helps prolong product life. Key Customer Markets: Aerospace Appliance Metal Finishing Automotive


X-ray Marking: Composite aircraft parts are x-rayed to search for possible flaws in the laminations. The x-ray opaque characteristic of lead means that these die-cut 3M 420 Lead Foil Tape pieces will appear as dark areas on the x-ray film providing a relative marker to help locate defects that may be found.	Harness and Cable Protection: Comfortable and heat reflective 3M 3633 Aluminium Foil Reinforced Tape bundles wire harnesses and helps protect sensitive cables, fuel lines and flexible tubes from heat and flame sources.	Appliance Industry: Thermally conductive dead-soft 3M 425 Aluminium Foil Tape firmly holds copper cooling tubes to refrigerator panels to help maximise cooling efficiency.

Damping: Vibration damping 3M 435 Damping Foil is bonded inside the aircraft fuselage between the ribs and stringers to help reduce unwanted noise inside the cabin.	Metal Plating: 3M 420 Lead Foil Tape is used to mask a metal cylinder prior to hard chrome plating. Note the burnishing tool used to ensure contact between the tape backing and part. The malleable lead foil conforms well to many compound surfaces.	Aircraft Paint Stripping: Chemically resistant dead-soft 3M 417 Aluminium Foil Tape helps protect areas of aircraft during harsh chemical paint stripping.
