Features
? Moisture absorption is close to zero, allowing performance in many humid
environments.
? The reinforcement provided by the woven glass cloth fabric base adds tensile
strength and resistance to tear and puncture in comparison to typical PTFE film
backed tapes.
CAUTION: When PTFE film tape is exposed to temperatures above 600°F
(316°C), small quantities of hazardous vapors may be released. INHALATION
OF THESE VAPORS MAY BE HARMFUL OR MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY
TRACT IRRITATION. Do not heat or expose PTFE film tape to temperatures
above 600°F (316°C).
