Aluminum Foil Tape is usually made with aluminum, but some foil tapes use lead or copper backings instead. Some foil tape varieties also contain glass, tin plating, or steel. The metal in foil tape gives it extra durability compared to plastic-based tapes. Most foil tapes can withstand temperatures between -40°F and 350°F. Since all the metals used in foil tape are relatively soft, the tape is highly malleable. The best foil tape combines the flexibility and protective qualities of aluminum, copper, and lead foil with a top-notch adhesive.

Medical adhesive tape, or surgical tape, is used to attach bandages, gauze, and other dressings to the skin around wounds.

Most adhesive tapes are pressure-sensitive tape; i.e., tape that sticks and stays in place with firm pressure. There’s no need for heat activation or a solvent. Medical adhesive tape can be made from various materials, but most are breathable for comfort and ease of use.
