FEATURES

Adhesive film laminates well to a variety of substrates
Performs well over a wide temperature range and offers high peel strength
Adhesive is clear and has excellent UV resistance, and humidity resistance
Peel adhesion to stainless steel (PSTC 1 Mod./180°); 20 min. @ RT = 50 oz/in
Holding power (PSTC 7 Mod./178°) 2.2 psi (1x1x1000g) @ RT = >100 hours
Heat resistance (PSTC 7 Mod./178°) 1.1 psi (1x1x500g) @ 158°F (70°C) = >65 hours
Humidity resistance % peel retention after 1 wk. @ 100°F (38°C)/100% RH = 92%
Water resistance % peel retention after 24 hour soak = 97%

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.
It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.
Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.
Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.
