Features
• Polyester film backing imparts excellent chemical and thermal stability.
• Remains flexible at -60°F (-50°C) and retains dimensional stability up to 300°F
(149°C).
• Resists many solvents typically found in photographic, electroplating and
chemical milling processes.
Note:
Hot caustics will weaken the backing after
prolonged immersion.
• Extended periods of exposure to elevated temperatures or outdoor conditions will
cause an increase in bond strength. During this exposure, however, the film can
become brittle and lose its tensile strength.
• Roll stability is excellent up to one year.
Application Ideas
• Chemical resistance in precious metal plating, especially gold.
• Protection in sodium hydroxide etching of aluminum.
• Protection of substrates during chemical milling.
• General splicing.
