rFOIL® Conductive Aluminum Tape for SCIF
This is a pre-ordered product. Please get in touch with us for a lead time.
Product Description
rFOIL® 7050 Series Conductive Aluminum Tape is engineered for SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities) and other high-security environments requiring effective EMI/RFI shielding. Featuring a strong conductive acrylic adhesive and durable aluminum foil backing, this tape ensures secure bonding, high electrical conductivity, and thermal resistance.
With UL 510 fire classification and vapor barrier properties, it is ideal for reflective insulation, industrial grounding, and process control applications. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures from -40°C to 163°C (-40°F to 325°F), rFOIL® aluminum foil tape delivers long-lasting performance in demanding installations.
The rFOIL® Conductive Aluminium Tape is designed to complement the rFOIL Ultra NT SCIF Barrier foil products, enhancing RF blocking capabilities by ensuring continuous conductivity across seams.

Applications
rFOIL® 7050 Series Conductive Aluminum Tape is ideal for:
- SCIF Shielding: Seam sealing in high-security environments
- Reflective Insulation: Vapor barrier sealing for insulation systems
- Grounding Applications: Industrial and process control systems
- EMI/RFI Shielding: For sensitive electronic equipment
- Seam Sealing: Ensures continuous conductivity across joints and seams
- Vapor Barrier: Protects against moisture intrusion and environmental exposure
Installation Instructions
- The surface to which the tape is to be applied must be free of oils, dust, and dirt. The surface must be cleaned with a dry cloth.
- The release liner should then be removed 1-2 feet at a time (if applicable) and the adhesive face pressed firmly on the insulation facing. Care should be taken not to stretch the tape tightly as this will create buckles and voids in the contact area.
- The tape should be applied on center so that there is adequate area on both sides of the joint for the tape to bond. Uneven width distribution also puts additional shear stress on the smaller side of the butt joint.
- The tape should then be wiped firmly from the center out (like wallpaper) with a plastic wiping tool (enclosed with a full carton).
- Be sure to cut the end of the tape to the appropriate length.
- Note: To obtain a greater bond, apply more pressure to the tape surface.
