Product Description 3M™ Silicone Splicing Tape 253 is a single-coated paper tape with a modified poly liner implemented as a second liner on the FACE SIDE of the tape. This second liner is added to help ensure roll quality, ease of unwind and protection of the adhesive against contamination until the splice is ready to be made. Technical Data ASTM Test Method Total Thickness without poly liner: 0.005 in. (0.127 mm) D-3652 Total Tape Thickness: 0.0075 in. (0.191 mm) D-3652 Initial Adhesion to Steel: 49 oz./in. (53.6 N/100 mm) 90° peel, Temperature Use Range: Up to 150°F (66°C) Recommended Application Temperature: 50° to 100°F (10° to 38°C) Product Construction Backing Adhesive Standard Roll Length Standard Widths* Silicone treated Silicone 60 yds.

Features • Special silicone adhesive that exhibits excellent “web-grab” and peel adhesion to many silicone treated materials.

  • Silicone-coated backing enables the splice to be functional.
  • Materials will release from the tape backing as easily as from the material itself. Typical Physical Properties Note: The following technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes. Application Techniques • Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact that is developed. Firm application pressure and proper rub-down techniques help develop better adhesive-to-surface contact and improve the bond strength.
  • The face-side poly liner should be removed right before the butt splice is made. This will help prevent the adhesive from becoming contaminated and help in tape handling.
