Technical Data Sheet
Easy Economical Fix For Damaged Semi-Trailers and Metal Buildings
TC Aluminum Tape provides an economical repair for damaged trailer roofs and sides. Semi-trailers are continually subjected to vibrations, stress, and mechanical damage, often resulting in stress cracks, tears, punctures, and loosened seams. This damage often happens when the trailer is far from a repair facility or during inclement weather.

TC Aluminum Tape’s aggressive adhesive and ease of application represents a significant improvement over other brands. This tough aluminum backed tape is designed as a permanent or temporary repair for metal surfaces. TC Aluminum Tape is an ideal protective coating where abrasion and leak resistance is required.
