Shurtape AF 984CT – Cold-Temperature FSK Tape for Insulation Seams
Shurtape AF 984CT is a high-performance foil-scrim-kraft (FSK) tape engineered for sealing and seaming FSK-faced fiberglass insulation systems in cold-temperature environments. Its specialized acrylic adhesive provides consistent performance across a wide thermal range, making it suitable for both commercial and industrial HVAC applications.
Application Features
Cold Weather Adhesion: Maintains bond strength from -20°F to 260°F for dependable sealing in sub-zero environments.
FSK Backing Construction: Comprised of aluminum foil, reinforced scrim, and kraft paper for dimensional stability and strength.
Moisture and Vapor Barrier: Helps minimize energy loss and resist odor, smoke, and moisture transmission through insulation seams.
Smooth Finish: Designed for wrinkle-free application and visual continuity on faced duct or pipe insulation.
