Product Description |
|
 The
DuraStick® Silicone Sponge Tapes have been specially designed
for use in a variety of demanding industrial applications. These
tapes are manufactured by applying a specially formulated acrylic
adhesive to a high-temperature, fiberglass reinforced silicone
sponge. The resulting tapes are highly compressible, flexible
and conformable; however, the fiberglass reinforcement allows
the sponge to keep its shape and reduces stretch. DuraStick®
Silicone Sponge Tapes are easy to apply and are excellent for
use as gaskets, heat-sealing pads, cushions and thermal insulators.

DuraStick® Silicone Sponge Tape
Characteristics |
|
DuraStick® Silicone Sponge Tapes are engineered to retain
the distinctive properties of silicone; however, by adding a
glass fabric to the matrix, AFC is able to obtain the added benefits
of dimensional stability, durability, excellent tensile strength,
and extremely low elongation (<1%). The addition of an adhesive
on one side eliminates the need for mechanical fastening. DuraStick®
Silicone Sponge Tapes have received USDA approval for food processing
and handling, and are FDA compliant (21 CFR177.2600). Furnished
with a blue liner, these tapes can operate in temperatures from
-40°F to 350°F (-40°C to 177°C).

Disclaimer: All figures provided in the above table are based
upon ASTM D 4969-97, the Standard Specification for Polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) Coated Glass Fabric. The above tensile values are based
upon the ASTM D902 test method and are not actual values of AFC’s
materials. The above tensile values are 80% of the figures provided
in Table 6 of specification D579. AFC states that its actual
tensile will be greater than the above material specification
and that actual tensile values will be provided upon request.
AFC measures adhesion according to ASTM D 3654/D 3654M, Standard
Test Methods for Shear Adhesion of Pressure-Sensitive Tapes,
and actual adhesion values will vary. Edge Tear values are based
upon ASTM D1424 (Elmendorf Tearing Test) and are average values
that can vary. |
