Is this actually Aluminum? Is it doped with anything or actually aluminum?

Yes. It is pretty thick and the adhesive is extremely strong. I used it on some furnace leaks and it worked like a charm.

Yes, it is aluminum. This is a quote from the manufacturer "An aluminum alloy foil with a pressure-sensitive adhesive and paper liner." It's a high tack rubber adhesive, and from experience, sticks really WELL. I used this on a dryer vent to seal where the ducts connected. Not sure what you're using it for, but it does have some heat limitations, so probably won't work for an oven or something that hot.

It has a sticky side and an aluminum side. Nothing on the packaging that says specifically what it is, so it's possible that it's an alloy of some type.

As far as I can tell it's just aluminum. It does have sticky substance added to one side, of course. I bought it to replace shielding in an old iMac that I planned to open, but I"ve read that people use it to close up insulation and simply as an alternative to other kinds of tape.

Yes, It is Aluminum. Very easy to use and had a lot of stickiness to the glue. It has been about a year since I used the tape to mend a hole when changing my furnace duct work around, and the tape is still holding nicely. Hope this answer helps.

I think it is. Compared to regular duct tape it is so much better on ducts. It withstands the heat and sticks to the wood and ducts much better.

It is made from aluminum, it's actually made very well despite the cheap price.

Thank you SG; I mistakenly thought this was the copper core, not the aluminum. Everything else you stated is spot on though. Thanks for the help!

If you read the description then you would know. Its copper clad aluminium. 90% aluminium and 10% copper.

It is aluminum. My son lost the screws when he took it off and now it's useless. Great case, just be careful the little screws are soooo small!

Pretty much all aluminum, with some plastic bits. I'm very pleased with it.

Thank you for asking this question. I was trying to figure out how to test the material and you found the answer. So if its not steel, what is it? Aluminum blend I guess.

It's made of aluminum, very durable! Kinda heavy at first, but you'll get used to it.

Not during the time I own it. I believe that it is constructed with Aluminum.

It is not aluminum. Feels like plastic. Has a machined circular patern/texture expanding from the center outwards.

It is metal and lightweight. So I assume it is aluminum. But I'm not certain, sorry.

Aluminum. Has held up well so far.Do not unplug by pulling the rubber end. I accidentally pulled the actual electronics from the metal casing.Super-glued it back together, then ran some HD Tune Read/Write test to heat it, to help set the glue. Seems to have worked so far.

its aluminum and so far seems pretty well made. I've only used it twice so far but I have no problems with it so far

To my knowlegde , its completely steel and I did not see any aluminium. Legs and the small round handle are thin compared to the body. Hope this helps.

No aluminum it is just plastic. Maybe part of the motor inside could be but I do not see any.

I think aluminum... not positive though. Look at the manufacturers website maybe??

I don't think it's aluminum (see the weight). . It's cast iron in my opinion.
