Orange Polyester Tape

Series: VOT

Low-cost alternative to polyimide & glass cloth, rated to 425°F

MADE IN THEU.S.A.

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.

More About This Product

Key Performance Features

  • Higher heat resistance compared to green polyester: 425F up to 60 minutes
  • Lower cost alternative to glass cloth and polyimide tapes 

Recommended Applications

  • Powder Coating: Ideal for 410F to 425F powder coating cure cycles
  • Resists shrinking over large, open areas when green polyester is tape is at its temperature limit

Use the pressure-sensitive adhesive nature of this tape to your advantage: Press down around the edges, let the activated adhesive dwell for an hour or two, then coat & cure. This can eliminate the problem of tape shrinking during powder coating cure. Whether e-coating, anodizing, or powder coating, this tape helps avoid expensive rework and lowers consumable costs.
