1088 Cork Insulation Tape

Description

1088 Cork Insulation Tape is a high-quality insulating material designed for the refrigeration and air conditioning industries. It will help prevent sweating or condensation on hot or cold pipes in air conditioning systems, freezers, commercial refrigeration or wherever problems of condensation are encountered.

1088 also provides an effective sound deadening barrier and can be used as a gasket material. Its ease of application makes it adaptable for all insulating and sound deadening applications. 1088 is designed for easy application by hand and will not harden, skin-over or lose flexibility. It has excellent adhesion to itself and various types of substrates including:

• Copper piping
• Steel, iron and other metals
• Painted surfaces
• Glass
• Plastic
• Rubber
  

1088 is manufactured in convenient roll form or can be made into cut to length flat pieces.

Application

Apply by hand to clean, dry surfaces. 1088 may be applied directly to the surface as the roll is unwound or may be cut to length and applied. Wind the tape around the pipe, overlapping about ¼-inch to make a continuous seal around the pipe. Apply hand pressure to ensure good adhesion of the tape to itself and to the substrate. It is not toxic or irritating to the skin.
