OVERVIEW

Optimize Welding Efficiency with EZ Zone Aluminum Backing Tape

In the competitive world of industrial welding, efficiency and quality are paramount. The Aquasol EZ Zone Aluminum Weld Backing Tape (2.5" x 75') offers a revolutionary solution to traditional back purging methods. Designed to streamline the welding process for stainless steel and aluminum pipes, plates, and vessels, this tape acts as a physical barrier against oxidation, ensuring a pristine root pass without the excessive consumption of shielding gases.

For fabrication shops and field welders alike, the cost of inert gas for back purging can be substantial. EZ Zone tape eliminates this requirement by sealing the root gap from the backside. The tape features a unique construction: two outer adhesive strips separated by a center "zone" of adhesive-free aluminum foil. This design ensures that no adhesive residue comes into contact with the weld pool, preventing contamination and porosity. The result is an X-ray quality weld that meets stringent industry standards.

Using EZ Zone tape significantly reduces setup time. Traditional purging requires setting up dams, hoses, and waiting for the oxygen levels to drop. With EZ Zone, you simply apply the tape over the seam on the backside, and you are ready to weld. This 2.5-inch wide version provides ample coverage for standard gaps, while the 75-foot roll ensures you have plenty of material for large projects. It is heat-resistant and conforms easily to curved surfaces, making it indispensable for pipe welding applications.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of reliable consumables. This backing tape not only saves money on gas but also reduces labor costs associated with post-weld cleaning and grinding. The aluminum foil supports the molten pool, allowing for a flatter, more consistent bead profile. Whether you are working in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, or general fabrication, EZ Zone Aluminum Weld Backing Tape is a strategic addition to your welding toolkit.

FAQ

It eliminates the need for large volumes of argon or nitrogen gas typically used in back purging, as well as the time spent setting up purge dams.

Yes, the adhesive is formulated to withstand welding temperatures without breaking down prematurely, while the center foil zone handles the direct heat.

Yes, though it is most beneficial for stainless steel and aluminum where oxidation and 'sugaring' are major concerns.

No, the center zone is adhesive-free, ensuring only pure aluminum foil contacts the weld area, preventing carbon pickup.

The adhesive-free zone is designed to cover standard root gaps, ensuring the weld pool does not touch the adhesive strips.

Center the adhesive-free zone over the joint on the ID or OD (depending on access) and press the adhesive edges down firmly to seal.

Yes, once the metal has cooled, the tape peels off easily, leaving minimal to no residue on the base metal.

Yes, it effectively replaces the need for back purging with gas for many applications, providing a physical barrier to atmosphere.
