3M™ Polyester Tapes 8901, 8902, and 8905 are all made with strong polyester backing and silicone adhesive, allowing them to be used in applications requiring high temperatures or adhesion to silicone treated surfaces. This tape family offers a range of backing thickness to accommodate application needs from thin tape for splicing to a thicker, stronger tape from pulling through flashing or multiple layers. Polyester films offer excellent thermal, abrasion, and chemical resistance while maintaining their flexibility. Removes cleanly from stainless steel, anodized aluminum and glass after a 5 hour. bake cycle at 350°F (177°C).
Applications: Splicing of silicone treated webs; masking parts for powder coat painting; holding parts or sealing vacuum bags during processing; masking edges of overlap seams in metal bonding process where excess adhesive flows onto tape; minimizes clean-up on tape removal
