Frequently Asked Questions
What surfaces can I apply K-FLEX tape to?
The tape adheres well to clean, dry, dust-free metal, plastic and painted surfaces.
Always wipe down pipes or ducts and remove grease before application for maximum adhesion.
Does it prevent condensation on cold pipes?
Yes. The closed-cell elastomeric foam provides an effective vapour barrier and thermal insulation,
reducing condensation on chilled pipes, ductwork and fittings.
What is the operating temperature range?
Typical service range is −30 °C to +90 °C (short peaks higher).
Always confirm with the latest K-FLEX datasheet for specific installations.
Can I use the tape outdoors?
The tape can be used in sheltered outdoor locations, but prolonged UV exposure may degrade
the surface. For direct sunlight applications, over-cladding or UV-resistant covering is recommended.
Is the adhesive permanent?
The pressure-sensitive adhesive forms a strong bond but allows repositioning during installation.
Once cured, removal may require gentle peeling and can leave light residue on some surfaces.
How should I store unused rolls?
Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
Keep the roll tightly wound and sealed to maintain adhesive quality.
