Aluminum Flashing Tape

Use this tape outdoors when a water tight bond is required.

Tape with asphalt-based adhesive bonds with almost any building material, including metal, wood, plastic, concrete, brick, asphalt, and glass. Use it for sealing and repair jobs, such as patching gutters. It can be painted.

Tape with rubber adhesive creates a permanent seal against water and humidity. It can endure long-tem UV exposure and resists flame spread and smoke. Use it to repair holes and leaks on gutters, downspouts, and roofing membranes.

UL-Printed HVAC Tape

For easy identification, this tape is printed with UL flexible duct standards. Use it for insulation and jacketing. It holds up to UV rays.

Aluminum foil tape is more conformable than polypropylene plastic tape.

Certificates with a traceable lot number and product shelf life are available for these products. Download certificates from ACTIVITY after your order ships.

Shim Stock

Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application.

For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like copper or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment. Metal shims include a material certificate with traceable lot number and test report.

Aluminum shim stock is lightweight and nonmagnetic. It has good corrosion resistance. Material will vary between Alloys 1100, 1145, and 1235.
