Scapa 571 Silicone Splicing Tape: 1/2 in x 72 yds. (Pink)

Scapa 571 Silicone Splicing Tape is a thin polyester film, single-coated on one side with a custom-formulated silicone pressure sensitive adhesive (opposite side of the film utilizes a standard non-silicone coating). The silicone adhesive provides high initial tack and ensures an excellent bond to silicone coated substrates. This translucent shear-resistant product is pink to enable prompt splice identification and has a soft, conformable adhesive that adheres well to irregular surfaces. It is used for splicing of silicone release papers, films, and other substrates; general-purpose bonding; high-temperature masking; and chemical masking.

Scapa 571 features include:

• Excellent adhesion to silicone coated substrates.
• High initial tack which insures a good bond.
• Conforms to achieve good contact to surfaces being spliced.
• High shear resistance for a strong bond.
• Color of tape enables prompt splice identification.
• Is resistant to many chemicals.

Made in Canada. NOTES: Sizes shipped will typically be the tape industry standard metric-cut sizes, i.e. 24mm for each 1 inch of nominal tape width ordered (rolls are approximately 5% narrower than the nominal size). This product's actual size is 12.7mm wide. This tape is typically cut to width from log rolls so most sizes ship on non-branded plain white cores. As with any adhesive tape product it is always the user's responsibility to determine that the product is suitable for their intended use; e.g. if you want to remove a product cleanly from a specific type of substrate please test on an inconspicuous area first.
