#572-3R is a premium-grade skived virgin PTFE film tape with a thickness of 3 mils or .003 inches. It is specifically engineered with an acrylic adhesive and a dimpled yellow release liner to enhance its usability and application convenience. This tape is highly versatile, offering exceptional elongation, low friction, and nonstick properties that make it an excellent choice for a variety of industrial applications.
The non-stick PTFE film surface of #572-3R is specially designed for masking applications, where it can be applied to surfaces that need to be protected from paint, coatings, or other substances during manufacturing or finishing processes. It provides a reliable barrier that ensures clean and precise lines while preventing adhesion or unwanted residue.
Additionally, this tape is ideal for wire wrap and insulation applications in high dielectric and high-temperature environments. Its outstanding nonstick properties allow for smooth and reliable wire wrapping, reducing the risk of friction, damage, or short circuits. It also offers excellent electrical insulation properties, ensuring reliable performance and safety in demanding electrical applications.
#572-3R is well-suited for moderate-temperature environments, withstanding temperatures up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. It can effectively withstand the heat generated by various industrial processes without compromising its integrity or performance. Moreover, for applications where a release liner is not necessary, #572-3 is available in a self-wound option.
