Series: VOT

Orange Polyester Tape

When a powder coating project requires a tape at temperatures above 400°F, but the cost of Kapton®, Polyimide, or Glass Cloth tapes is too high, VOT Orange Polyester Tape is the solution. Most green polyester tapes struggle at (or above) the 400°F mark. Our Orange Poly has a modified silicone adhesive to withstand temperatures up to 425°F for 60 minutes. It provides the needed heat resistance for higher heat curing cycles while being significantly more affordable than 500F options. This tape excels at covering large open areas, such as automotive valve covers.
