Description

SM 5127 TACKY-TAPE® is a charcoal gray colored tape sealant that is an unsurpassed performer where post cure cycles are required. It is compatible with most bagging films and is an ideal choice for use on composite tool surfaces. It is used in the fabrication of parts where oven or autoclave cycles require maintaining a vacuum. A positive seal during extended post cure cycles from 250°F (121°C) TO 400°F (204°C) is easily accomplished with this product.

Application

Apply by hand to a clean dry tool or platen with release paper on top. When the sealant is in position remove the release paper and lay the film on top. Apply pressure by hand or roller on the sealant to obtain maximum adhesion and to ensure positive vacuum. It is recommended to strip below 150°F (66°C) to minimize or reduce the parts from becoming warped. SM 5127 can be stripped without leaving a residue on metal tool surfaces that have been cooled to room temperature.
