Designed specifically for cold weather, this model 1525CW tape uses a cold weather acrylic adhesive. It bonds well even at temperatures as low as -10 °F (-23 °C), making it ideal for outdoor or chilly environments where other tapes might fail.

Flexible Backing For Surfaces

This tape features a foil, scrim, and kraft laminate backing that flexes easily. The flexible backing conforms well to curved or irregular surfaces, which helps create a tight seal on fibrous and sheet metal ducts. This flexibility is key for effective sealing in complex ductwork.

Its tri-directional reinforced backing adds strength and durability. The 5.5 mil thick laminate backing resists punctures and tears, ensuring the tape lasts long even in demanding applications and environments.

Cold Weather Adhesive Performance

The cold weather acrylic adhesive on this 3M tape is specially formulated for low temperatures but also performs well in heat and humidity. It sticks quickly at normal temperatures and maintains strong adhesion from -40 °F to 240 °F (-40 °C to 116 °C).

This wide service temperature range means the tape can be applied in many environments, from freezing cold to hot conditions. It also resists lifting and curling over time, providing a durable, long-lasting seal.

Size And Pack Convenience

Each roll measures 72 mm wide by 45.7 m long, providing ample tape for multiple sealing jobs. The product comes in a pack of 16 rolls per case, making it convenient for contractors and businesses needing bulk supply.
