Can Your HVAC Insulation Do This? The 7 Benefits of Ideal Seal 777
Insulation sounds like a one-trick pony, doesn’t it? What else does insulation do but insulate?
Plenty, depending on the type of insulator you’re using to create a thermal seal in HVAC cladding and jacketing applications. Contractors and HVAC technicians boasting Ideal Seal 777 can offer their customers a lot more than just temperature control.
1. Protection against moisture and microbes
Sweating HVAC units and ductwork, common in older models, could compromise the structural integrity of the areas through which these systems operate. Insufficient condensation control could also turn HVACs into breeding grounds for mold and other microbial baddies that could be pumped throughout the premises every time the machine activates. Ideal Seal 777 acts as a non-permeable vapor barrier, restricting moisture from damaging ceilings, walls, crawlspaces and roofs. Coupled with an antimicrobial treatment, 777 also stops mold dead in its tracks and prevents it from spreading.
2. Coast Guard approved – USCG COA Number 164.112/160/0
Ideal Seal 777 has been approved by the U.S. Coast Guard as noncombustible, having low flame spread and incapable of producing excessive quantities of smoke and toxic products.
3. 10-year warranty
When businesses invest in a brand-new HVAC systems, they expect to get a few good decades out of them at the very least. Contractors can extend a similar guarantee by offering Ideal Seal 777, backed by a 10-year Ideal Tape warranty. Should 777 not live up to the high standards outlined here – unlikely, but hey, humor us for a second – Ideal tape will send a specialist to repair the insulation, replace it or even refund the retail purchaser costs of the product. Not only does this protect the customer, but it prevents the installing contractor from worrying about liability.

4. Food friendliness
No restaurant owner or foodservice provider wants to accidentally serve a customer a meal sprinkled with bits of cracked insulation adhesive. Blech! That’s why the Food and Drug Administration created Section 175.105 of the Code of Federal Regulation, which controls the types of chemical adhesives that can be used in a foodservice environment.
And wouldn’t you know it, the adhesives used in Ideal Seal 777 comply with this FDA regulation. We’re not worried about the integrity of our product, but this could provide peace of mind and another selling point for contractors who work with commercial HVAC systems in eateries, along with the supermarket or dining establishment managers looking for the safest insulation materials.
5. Color options
We’ve talked about practical reasons why contractors and HVAC owners ought to invest in Ideal Seal 777, but what about the less-than-practical reasons? What if you just want your HVAC unit or ductwork to match the rest of your decor? 777 can come in an aluminum or embossed aluminum finish, as well as white or embossed white.

A quick and painless application process leaves everyone happy – contractors finish projects faster without compromising quality and customers pay less for labor costs. Ideal Seal 777 easily applies to tough galvanized metal surfaces without peeling, yet can be repositioned without jeopardizing tack. 777 also adheres tightly around irregular angles for a seamless seal that won’t budge.
7. Temperature control
