Item # 565-1, Polyester Film Tape

Lanmar #565-1 is a 1 mil (0.001”) polyester film tape with high-tack silicone adhesive, engineered for splicing, holding, and masking in high-temperature and precision applications. Designed to remove cleanly, the silicone adhesive helps prevent residue and supports reliable performance during demanding processing and handling. #565-1 is stocked in blue, with additional colors available upon request.

High Tensile Strength in a Thin Film

Polyester film provides excellent tensile strength even at thin gauges, helping resist stretching, slivering, and tearing. This makes #565-1 a dependable choice for precision work where clean edges and consistent placement matter.

High-Temperature Masking and Clean Removal

The silicone adhesive system performs well in elevated-temperature environments and is commonly selected for applications that require clean removal after processing, including bake cycles and finishing operations.

Abrasion and Chemical Resistance

Polyester film tape offers strong abrasion resistance and good chemical resistance, supporting use in manufacturing environments where surfaces are exposed to handling, solvents, and process chemicals.
