1550.2 High Temperature Cork Tape

Description

1550.2, High-Temperature Cork Tape is a high-quality insulating material designed for the refrigeration and air conditioning industries. It has a service temperature range of -20ºF to 325ºF. 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.

1550.2 also helps reduce or eliminate vibration noise and provides an effective sound deadening barrier. It can also be used as a gasket material. Its ease of application makes 1550.2 adaptable for many uses 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 and rubber
  

1550.2 is manufactured in convenient roll form or can be manufactured in cut to length flat pieces.

Application

Apply by hand to clean, dry surfaces. 1550.2 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.
