Thermafiber® Aluminum Foil & FSK Insulation Tape | Owens Corning Insulation
Skip to main content

Thermafiber® Aluminum Foil and FSK Tapes are engineered to provide a vapor seal between curtain wall mullions and FSP-faced FireSpan® curtain wall insulation or other foil-faced Thermafiber® insulation products. This tape helps keep foil-faced insulation sealed tightly, which helps block moisture and supports the overall thermal efficiency of the wall system. These FSK and aluminum foil insulation tapes are the ultimate in cold-weather tapes.

Aluminum Foil Tape: A strong, 2 mil aluminum insulation tape with a high-temperature adhesive, commonly used to seal and secure insulation joints for better thermal performance.

FSK Tape: A tough, fire-rated foil/scrim/kraft (FSK) tape used to seal foil-faced insulation, helping provide added strength and fire resistance to the insulation system.

Features:

  • Vapor Seal - Helps seal seams and edges of foil-faced insulation.
  • Adhesion in Varying Climates - Performs in hot, moderate, and cold weather.
  • Flexible Application - Conforms to irregular surfaces and corners.
  • Durable Protection - Resists weathering, mold, UV, and environmental exposure.
  • UL 723 classified - Tested for surface burning characteristics.

Applications

Thermafiber® Aluminum Foil and FSK Tapes seal joints where foil-faced mineral wool insulation meets framing or connects between panels in exterior commercial insulation wall systems. These fire-resistant insulation tapes perform in both cold and hot climates, making this foil tape for insulation ideal for high-rise buildings exposed to snow, wind, humidity, or changing seasonal conditions.
