#572-3 is a premium-grade PTFE Film Tape that measures 3 mils or .003 inches in thickness. It is manufactured from skived virgin PTFE film and is coated with a reliable acrylic adhesive. This tape offers exceptional elongation, remarkable low friction, and outstanding nonstick properties. Its non-stick PTFE film surface is specifically engineered for masking applications, as well as wire wrapping and insulation tapes in high dielectric and high-temperature environments.
The remarkable nonstick properties of #572-3 make it an ideal choice for masking applications. It can be applied to surfaces that need to be protected from paint, coatings, or adhesives. The nonstick surface of the tape ensures easy removal without leaving behind any residue or damaging the underlying substrate. This makes #572-3 particularly valuable in industries such as painting, powder coating, plating, and surface treatment.
Moreover, #572-3 is well-suited for wire wrapping and insulation in applications that require high dielectric strength and can withstand elevated temperatures. It can be used to wrap wires and cables, providing electrical insulation and protection against moisture, chemicals, and heat. The PTFE film surface offers excellent dielectric properties, making it suitable for use in electrical and electronic devices, power distribution systems, and aerospace applications.
In addition to its functional properties, #572-3 is designed to perform reliably in moderate-temperature environments, withstanding temperatures of up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes it suitable for a wide range of industries that require resistance to heat and thermal cycling. The tape maintains its integrity and adhesive strength even when subjected to demanding temperature conditions.
For added convenience and ease of use, #572-3 is available with a dimpled yellow release liner option (#572-3R). The release liner provides protection to the adhesive surface and simplifies the application process. It ensures that the tape remains in optimal condition until it is ready to be used, enhancing its usability and effectiveness.
