• Tensile Strength: 59 lbs./in. width (1039 N/100 mm)
• Elongation at Break: 290%
• Backing Thickness: 5.0 mils (0.13 mm)
• Total Tape Thickness: 6.8 mils (0.17 mm)
• Temperature Range: -65°F to 500°F (-54°C to 260°C)

Features

• Constructed with skived PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) for a conformable, low-friction surface.
• Silicone adhesive enables clean removal from a variety of surfaces.
• Exceptional resistance to chemicals, excluding organic solvents which may attack the silicone adhesive.
• Non-stick PTFE film creates a slick surface for easy clean-up, minimizing build-up of sticky materials.

Applications

• Provides an easy-release surface for wrapping rollers, plates, belts, and more to prevent build-up of inks or sticky materials.
• Acts as a mold release agent for composite or metal bonding applications.
• Effective in high-temperature wire bundling and harnessing due to its wide temperature range.
• Helps shield and protect surfaces from chemical exposure.
• Reduces friction, minimizing squeaks and noise between surfaces.
• Suitable for heated machinery and equipment, withstanding temperatures up to 500°F (260°C).

Storage and Shelf Life

• Storage Conditions: 60°F to 80°F (16°C to 27°C) and 40% to 60% relative humidity.
• Shelf Life: Best used within 24 months from the date of manufacture for optimal performance.
