All purpose pressure sensitive tape
DESCRIPTION
Flashbreaker 2 tape is a stronger version of Flashbreaker 1. It can be used anywhere extra strength is needed.
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. It offers further protection in chem-milling or acid bath etching.
Flashbreaker tapes remove easily after the cure.
