Description

SM5143 TACKY-TAPE® is a sealant tape developed for use in composite vacuum bagging. The tape was specifically developed for use in turbine blade manufacturing. This product has been formulated to outperform all tapes in its class. Initial tack is great and it will maintain an air-tight seal during the cure cycle, then strip clean from the mold during de-bagging. This tape has an optimum cure temperature range of room temperature to 425ºF (218ºC).

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 150ºF (66ºC) to minimize or reduce the parts from becoming warped. SM5143 can be stripped without leaving a residue on metal tool surfaces that have been cooled to room temperature.
