FastelFoil HS160 Heat Seal Aluminum Foil (EVA Seal)
With a flow characteristic that can be controlled with heating, FastelFoil HS160 can be provided in a manual drop-in-place or automated die cut format providing efficient heating cycles as well as no clean-up after heating.
As a dry-to-the-touch seal coating, FastelFoil HS160 can be die cut to match a wide range of sealing applications areas. Once the foil seal pad is heated to or past its melt point temperature and cooled, the HS160 aluminum seal is set.

Sealing Temperature
Heating Pressure
Heating Time
No set heating time required. Dependent on thermal conductivity of substrates and heating devices. Minimum melt point must be acheived. No complex ramp up and ramp down patterns required unless other materials require this during the heating process.
Cooling (set) Time
Seal should be allowed to adequately cool below its melt point before applying stress. It is recommended (not required) to maintain pressure during cooling to promote surface contact during this process. Forced direct air systems okay to accelerate cooling.
