Description

SM5160 TACKY-TAPE® is an advanced process vacuum bag tape sealant that was developed to fulfill the stringent requirements of very high temperature cure requirements. This dark brown colored tape sealant is formulated with a unique base polymer to function throughout a temperature range of 375ºF (191ºC) to 750ºF (399ºC). Extended cure cycles of twelve (12) hours or longer at intermediate temperatures of 400°F (204°C) to 600°F (315°C) are possible.

Application

Apply by hand to a clean dry tool or platen with release liner on top. When the sealant is in position remove the release liner and lay the film on top. Apply pressure by hand or roller on the sealant to obtain maximum adhesion and to ensure positive vacuum. A hot roller or iron (not to exceed 400°F [204°C] can be used to apply pressure on the sealant. It is recommended to strip below 150ºF (66ºC) to minimize or reduce the parts from becoming warped. SM5160 can be stripped without leaving a residue on metal tool surfaces that have been cooled to room temperature.
