EZ-ZT2.5 - EZ Zone Aluminum Weld Backing Tape 2.5 Inch x 75 Feet

Achieve Flawless Root Welds with EZ Zone Tape

Welders know that the root pass is the most critical part of any joint. The EZ Zone Aluminum Weld Backing Tape (2.5" x 75') is engineered to help you achieve a perfect root bead every time. By providing a clean, contaminant-free backing, this tape prevents atmospheric contamination and oxidation, commonly known as "sugaring," on the backside of the weld. It is the ultimate alternative to cumbersome back purging setups.

The genius of the EZ Zone design lies in its "Zoned" adhesive system. The center portion of the tape, which sits directly under the weld joint, is free of adhesive. This means that as the weld pool penetrates, it touches only pure aluminum foil, not glue. This prevents carbon pickup and hydrogen inclusion, which are common causes of weld failure. The outer edges feature a strong, heat-resistant adhesive that holds the tape securely in place, even on vertical or overhead joints.

This 2.5-inch wide roll is perfectly sized for most butt welds and corner joints. It is flexible enough to wrap around pipes and fittings, yet rigid enough to support the weld puddle. Using this tape allows welders to increase their travel speed and deposition rate, as the backing supports the molten metal. Once the weld is complete and cooled, the tape peels off cleanly, leaving a bright, shiny root surface that often requires no further finishing.

Ideal for TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW) processes, EZ Zone tape is a must-have for working with stainless steel and aluminum alloys. It is lightweight, portable, and eliminates the need to drag heavy gas cylinders to remote job sites for purging. Upgrade your welding process with a solution that guarantees structural integrity and aesthetic perfection.
