Technical Data ASTM Test Method Adhesion to Steel: 59 oz./in. width (64 N/100 mm) D-3330 Tensile Strength at Break: 29 lbs./in. width (509 N/100 mm) D-3759 Elongation at Break: 123% D-3759 Backing Thickness: 1.0 mil (0.03 mm) D-3652 Total Tape Thickness: 2.7 mils (0.065 mm) D-3652 Water Vapor Transmission Rate: 1.6 gms H 2O/100 sq. in./24 hrs. (24.8 g/m2 24 h) Product Construction Backing Adhesive Color Standard Roll Length Polyester Rubber Cream 72 yds. (66 m) Features • Polyester film backing imparts excellent chemical and thermal stability.

  • Remains flexible at -60°F (-50°C) and retains dimensional stability up to 300°F (149°C).
  • Resists many solvents typically found in photographic, electroplating and chemical milling processes. Note: Hot caustics will weaken the backing after prolonged immersion.
  • Extended periods of exposure to elevated temperatures or outdoor conditions will cause an increase in bond strength. During this exposure, however, the film can become brittle and lose its tensile strength.
  • Roll stability is excellent up to one year.
