CHICAGO — Sealing and seaming reflective insulation isn’t easy, and Shurtape Technologies LLC continued to hear this complaint from contractors. When a contractor in South Carolina expressed that even Shurtape’s AF 100 tape wasn’t doing the trick, the company decided to do some digging.
“We sent him a few different kinds of tape to try, and he said the film tape worked really well, since it is very formable to all the grooves you have in reflective insulation,” said Lisa Zierfuss, assistant product manager, building and construction, Shurtape Technologies. “So, from there, we developed FF 100.”
