Anticor Polytex 118 protective tape for insulation, 48 mm × 50 m, red (PP-1180002-0048050)

Anticor Polytex 118 protective tape is a red, durable tape designed for use with pipe insulation and cladding. With a 48 mm width and 50 m length, this tape is intended for wrapping insulation covers, sealing seams and joints, and providing mechanical protection and short-term weather resistance in HVAC, plumbing and building insulation applications. The tape’s color makes it easy to identify wrapped sections and to coordinate with site marking or color-coded installations.

Advantages

The tape combines a flexible backing with adhesive properties that ensure secure fixation of insulation materials without damaging underlying surfaces. Its 48 mm width offers a balance between coverage and handling ease, while the 50 m roll length reduces roll changes on site. The red color improves visibility for maintenance and inspection. Designed for mechanical protection and temporary resistance to environmental exposure, the tape supports reliable sealing of seams and joints.

Suitable for

• Fixing and wrapping pipe insulation in HVAC systems
• Securing seams and joints on insulation cladding
• Temporary weather protection of exposed insulation during installation
• Color-coding or marking insulation runs and service lines

Key specifications

• Width: 48 mm
• Length: 50 m
• Color: red
• Intended use: protective and fixing tape for insulation and cladding
• Properties: flexible backing with adhesive suitable for mechanical protection and temporary weather resistance

How to use

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust or grease before applying the tape. Unroll the tape and wrap it evenly around insulation covers or cladding, maintaining moderate tension to avoid stretching the backing. Overlap each turn slightly to create a secure seam and press firmly along the adhesive to ensure full contact. For corner transitions or joints, apply additional strips as needed to maintain continuous protection. Replace the tape if adhesive performance deteriorates or after prolonged outdoor exposure.

Usage recommendations

Store rolls in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Use at standard installation temperatures and avoid applying to surfaces below the manufacturer’s recommended temperature range to ensure optimal adhesion. For long-term outdoor exposure, consider additional protective coverings as this tape provides temporary weather resistance rather than permanent UV-stable cladding.
