How does the silicone adhesive benefit this tape compared to other types?
The silicone adhesive offers superior high-temperature resistance, making it less prone to failure in extreme conditions. Unlike rubber or acrylic adhesives, it does not soften or ooze, ensuring consistent performance where needed.
What types of surfaces can be safely covered with this tape?
This tape adheres well to difficult surfaces, such as silicone-treated components and those with mould release agents, ensuring a secure attachment without peeling or damage.
Can this tape be used in outdoor applications?
Its durable polyester backing and robust adhesive allow it to withstand outdoor conditions
however, it is essential to assess specific environmental factors that may affect performance.
