Description
AeroZero® Thermal Protection Tape
AZ-Polyimide Tape 100
Product Description
AZ-PI Tape 100 consists of a 165 micron (6.5 mil) AeroZero® polyimide aerogel film with a 25.4 micron (1 mil) external polyimide film joined with a 25.4 micron (1 mil) adhesive. The adhesive is a high-performance engineering grade silicone pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) with a release layer that is peeled off before application to a substrate. Potential substrates include stainless steel, aluminum, glass, and polymer substrates such as polyimides, polyether ketones, polyurethanes, and polyesters. Typical use is thermal barrier/protection of parts in the Aerospace, Defense and Electronic industries.
Application
Prior to peeling the release liner from the adhesive, ensure the surface is clean and free of loose particles. Standard application temperature is 25 °C (77 °F) and the recommended set time for optimal adhesion is 3 days prior to testing. The minimum application temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) and minimum set time is 24 hours before performing any tests. Increasing temperature and dwell time may increase adhesion strength.
