<p>For anodizing, composite bonding and splicing, use 3M? Polyester Tape 8403. This translucent green tinted tape is coated with a silicone adhesive that bonds well on difficult surfaces, including silicone coated papers and films. It is chemical resistant and performs under a wide range of temperatures and environments. This tape is a thicker version of our 3M? Polyester Tape 8402.</p><p>Thick and Durable Tape for Masking in High Temperatures<br>3M? Polyester Tape 8403 is a thicker polyester tape designed for easy handling and more durability. It is ideal for masking in high temperature applications and adheres well to silicone coated surfaces. The tape has a silicone adhesive that functions well for masking and removes cleanly, in one-piece, from most surfaces. This tape also excels in permanent splicing operations on silicone liners, papers and films subject to high temperatures.<br><br>With exceptional chemical resistance, this tape works effectively in some of the most demanding work conditions, such as anodization. The pressure sensitive silicone adhesive performs under a broad range of temperatures ranging from -60?F (-50?C) to 425?F (218?C). Our 3M? Polyester Tape 8403 has long service life and is designed to remain firmly adhered and flexible.<br>Recommended Applications<br><br><br> Splicing of silicone liners, films and papers<br> Holding parts or vacuum bags during composite bonding operations<br> Masking metal surfaces in acid or caustic chemical milling baths<br> Flash breaker in metal bonding processes where the excess epoxy (flash) flows on the tape<br> Protective tape reduces scratches during handling and shipping<br> Paint mask for areas subject to higher temperature bake cycles</p><strong>3M 51138947736 Features:</strong><ul><li>Works in demanding conditions and retains flexibility in autoclave conditions in temperatures ranging from -60?F (-50?C) to 350?F (177?C)</li><li>Silicone adhesive provides clean removal from a variety of surfaces</li><li>Chemical resistant adhesive and backing provides durability in difficult environments, such as anodization</li><li>Thicker version of 3M?
