Overview

The nVent ProLine Containment System Sealing Tape (SKU: UACAST1IN) is a premium-grade Acrycell foam sealing solution engineered to deliver superior air containment in critical infrastructure environments. Designed for data centers, server rooms, and HVAC-intensive facilities, this 1-inch wide, 18.40-foot long black foam tape provides a reliable, high-performance seal for gaps, openings, and perimeter interfaces that threaten cooling efficiency and energy performance. Backed by nVent’s legacy of thermal management innovation, this sealing tape is a trusted component in ProLine’s comprehensive containment ecosystem, helping operators achieve ASHRAE-compliant thermal zones and maximize HVAC equipment ROI. Acrycell Sealing Tape stands apart through its advanced acrylic-based foam formulation, which combines exceptional compressibility with long-term adhesive integrity. Unlike standard tapes, this product maintains a secure bond across temperature fluctuations, humidity shifts, and mechanical stress—common in data center operations. Its closed-cell structure resists moisture ingress, mold growth, and degradation, ensuring consistent performance over years of service without peeling or residue buildup. The tape’s flexibility allows it to conform seamlessly to uneven surfaces, including concrete floors, raised access panels, and cabinet edges, making it ideal for sealing under cabinets, between server racks, around CRAC/CRAH units, and along room perimeters. Installation is straightforward and non-disruptive, requiring no specialized tools or training. Simply clean the surface, peel the liner, and apply the tape along the intended sealing path. It adheres instantly and remains repositionable for up to 15 minutes, allowing for precise alignment before final bonding. Once set, the tape forms a continuous, airtight barrier that minimizes bypass airflow—the leading cause of cooling inefficiency in data centers. By reducing unmanaged air leakage, facilities can reclaim 10–30% of lost cooling capacity, directly translating to lower energy consumption, reduced carbon footprint, and extended HVAC equipment lifespan. This sealing tape is a cornerstone of nVent’s ProLine Containment System, which is widely adopted in hyperscale data centers, colocation facilities, enterprise server rooms, and edge computing hubs. It integrates seamlessly with other ProLine components such as containment panels, grommets, and brush strips to create a holistic air management strategy. Professionals in thermal design, facility management, and sustainability teams rely on Acrycell Sealing Tape to meet stringent energy efficiency targets, comply with LEED and ENERGY STAR guidelines, and support continuous PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) optimization. nVent, a global leader in thermal management and electrical solutions, brings decades of expertise to the ProLine product line. With manufacturing rooted in the United States and a global distribution network, nVent ensures consistent quality, rapid availability, and dedicated technical support for engineers and contractors. The UACAST1IN is not just a sealing product—it’s a strategic investment in operational reliability, regulatory compliance, and long-term cost savings. Whether upgrading an existing facility or designing a new high-density deployment, Acrycell Sealing Tape delivers the performance, durability, and peace of mind required in today’s mission-critical environments.

How to Install Acrycell Sealing Tape (UACAST1IN)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Acrycell Sealing Tape to effectively seal gaps between racks in a data center.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Scissors, Cutting blade

Supplies needed:

Acrycell Sealing Tape (UACAST1IN), Damp cloth, Lint-free towel

  1. Prepare the surface

    Wipe the surface where the tape will be applied with a damp cloth, then dry it thoroughly with a lint-free towel.

  2. Apply the sealing tape

    Peel the backing off the Acrycell Sealing Tape to reveal the adhesive. Press the adhesive side to one side of the gap while unrolling the tape to ensure it is straight and secure.

  3. Cut and secure the tape

    At the end of the gap, cut the tape to form a secure seal. Ensure that any remaining tape is stored under pressure to prevent premature expanding.
