#572-0 is a premium grade PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Film Skived Tape with a thickness of 10 mils or .010 inches. It is equipped with a durable acrylic adhesive that offers exceptional conformability and elongation properties. This tape is specifically designed for various industrial applications that require reliable performance and superior characteristics.
One of the key advantages of #572-0 is its excellent release properties, making it suitable for applications where sticking or adhesion needs to be minimized. Its moderate-temperature resistance of up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit allows it to withstand demanding environments without compromising its integrity. Additionally, this tape possesses remarkable dielectric properties, making it an ideal choice for electrical insulation applications.
The anti-friction characteristics of #572-0 provide effective lubrication and reduce friction between surfaces, enabling smooth movement and enhanced performance in machinery and equipment. Whether used as a standalone tape or in conjunction with other materials, #572-0 delivers reliable and consistent results.
Furthermore, for added convenience and ease of use, #572-0 is available with a release liner option (#572-0R). The release liner simplifies the application process and provides protection to the adhesive surface, ensuring the tape remains in optimal condition until it is ready to be used.
