Understanding ASJ Tapes: Why Ideal’s 728 and 729 Stand Out
When it comes to insulation, a clean finish and a tight seal are a must. That’s where Ideal’s ASJ (All-Service Jacket) tapes step in. Designed specifically for insulation systems with ASJ facings and made with our specially formulated Cold Seal™ cold weather acrylic adhesive.
Meet the Family: TransferRite ULTRA®
Let’s face it — not every application tape performs the way it should. Some curl in storage. Some don’t release cleanly. Others cling too hard or not enough. The wrong tape can cost you time, money, and frustration. The TransferRite Ultra line was developed to eliminate those problems.
