Data Sheet FLASHBREAKER 1
All purpose pressure sensitive tape
DESCRIPTION
Flashbreaker tapes are high temperature/ high tensile strength polyester films coated with a pressure sensitive
silicone adhesive for oven or autoclave cures up to 400 F (204 C). The orange Flashbreaker tapes have high
visibility when placed on parts and molds. Flashbreaker pressure sensitive tapes are used for multi-purpose
functions in metal bond and composites, such as holding down vacuum bagging materials, thermocouple
wires, masking-off, chem-milling protection or in riveting shops. Flashbreaker tapes remove easily after cure.
@ BENEFITS
+ Flashbreaker tapes can control bond lines and make removal of resin flash easier, reducing clean up effort.
+ Fix position of consumable materials to avoid process errors and improve part quality.
+ High visibility orange color makes removal easier to inspect and reduces risk of leaving tape in place.
