Heskins 3453N Black Corrosion Protection Tape 2" x 60', Average LRV 4, Range 1

Heskins® 3453 Corrosion Protection tape is a specially produced plastic self-adhesive tape designed to form an insulating barrier between two metals and prevent Galvanic corrosion. It is a perfect solution when bringing two metals such as aluminum and steel together, and the adhesive backing helps the application process, ensuring a flat, corrosion-resistant surface which your other metal can be applied to, making it an efficient and cost-effective application.

What is Galvanic corrosion?

Galvanic corrosion, also known as bimetallic corrosion, is an electrochemical process where one metal corrodes in preference to another metal that it is in contact with through an electrolyte. Galvanic corrosion occurs when metals with different electrode potentials are in contact, in an electrolyte, due to one acting as an anode, and the other as a cathode. The result is that one metal will corrode faster than normal (anode), the other will be completely inhibited (cathode).

Ways to Prevent Galvanic Corrosion

Heskins® focus is on insulation, that is, breaking the electrical connection by insulating the two metals from each other.

Tape Thickness

Corrosion Protection Tape features a total applied thickness of 0.03 Inch, delivering a durable yet adaptable layer designed to safeguard metal surfaces from environmental damage. Its flexible carrier film allows the tape to conform smoothly to flat, curved, or irregular shapes, ensuring a uniform protective seal. This construction provides long-lasting resistance against moisture, abrasion, and corrosive elements without adding excess bulk, making it ideal for pipes, fittings, machinery, and other components requiring reliable all-weather protection.

Features:

• Prevents galvanic corrosion
• Easy to apply
