Description

SM 5142 TACKY-TAPE® is a sealant tape developed for vacuum bagging operations. This product has been formulated to outperform all tapes in its class. With aggressive initial tack, it will maintain an air-tight seal during the cure cycle, yet strip clean from the tool, with virtually no trace of residue. SM5142 provides easy, almost effortless de-bagging, and minimal to no clean-up between production cycles. SM5142 exhibits these excellent usage and release characteristics from composite and metal tools, in both oven and autoclave applications. This tape has an optimum cure temperature range of room temperature to 400°F (204°C).

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 5142 can be stripped without leaving a residue on metal and composite tool surfaces that have been cooled to room temperature.
