PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is 3M’s Polyimide Tape 8998 used for?
3M’s Polyimide Tape 8998 is a high-temperature tape that can withstand operating temperatures of up to 500°F (260°C). It can be used in electrical and electronic applications, including wrapping cables or coils, masking circuit boards during wave soldering, and insulation.
-
How wide and long is each roll of the tape?
Each roll of the Dark Amber-colored Polyimide Tape measures 1.5 inches in width and contains a total length of 36 yards or approximately just over100 feet.
-
Would you recommend this product for humid conditions?
Yes! In addition to its ability to withstand extreme heat conditions as mentioned earlier it also has excellent chemical resistance against most solvents thus making it suitable for use under harsh environments such as salt spray tests with no delamination nor adhesive residues behind when removed.
As temperatures continue to rise in powder coat paint operations, it is important to have a masking tape that can withstand the heat. 3M™ Polyimide Tape 8998 is specifically designed for higher temperature powder coat paint applications. It features a 2.0 mil thick polyimide backing with a 1.2 mil silicone adhesive, making it ideal for use in high temperature applications up to 500°F/260°C. The tape's dark amber color ensures easy identification and alignment. Its high dimensional and exceptional tensile strength allows it to break through cured paint without silvering or tearing.
3M™ Polyimide Tape 8998 is commonly used for masking parts for powder coating, masking edges of overlap seams, e-coating, electroplating, anodizing, and as a barrier of separation for dissimilar metals. It resists shrinking, curling, and edge lifting, and removes with zero adhesive residue. The thin, flexible backing seals tight on contact, peels off clean, and leaves sharp, clear paint edges.
Recommended Application- Masking parts for powder coating
- Masking edges of overlap seams
- Barrier of separation for dissimilar metals
3M, the leader in masking tape technology, has developed a variety of polyimide tapes to insulate, mask, protect, seal, flash break, tab, powder coat, and anodize mask. These revolutionary polyimide tapes withstand heat during rigorous, high-temperature masking operations. An exceptionally thin backing resists tears, abrasion, and the effects of aging. Choose a tape that can take the heat and keep your paint lines sharp!
