Polyester & Splicing Tapes
Viadon's polyester and splicing tapes includes tapes designed to work in a variety of splicing applications, including paper, film and other products. Ranging from moderate to aggressive adhesives, there is bound to be a splicing tape that is ideal for your application. And if not, ask us! We work with many tape manufacturers and may be able to get exactly what you require.
Series: VGT215
Green Polyester Tape
VGT215 series green polyester tape features a 2 mil polyester film carrier with a 1.4 mil silicone pressure sensitive adhesive. Designed for high-temperature masking applications including powder coating, anodizing, and plating.
Series: VBT
Blue Polyester Tape
VBT Series High-Temperature Blue Polyester Tape is engineered for precision masking. It is a thin, highly conformable tape ideal for fine-line masking on curved and irregular surfaces. As an equivalent to 3M 8991 with a 1 mil polyester carrier and a 1.4 mil silicone adhesive for a low profile. Provides clean removal after 400°F (204°C) up to 60 minutes.
Series: VT929
Polyester Tapes
The VT929 polyester splicing tape is available in red and clear - both with the same conformable, low profile 1 mil carrier / 1.5 mil silicone based adhesive system (2.5 mil total thickness) and excellent adhesion to silicone products with 30 oz/in per inch of width. This tape will withstand the rigors required of high-strength splicing and protection environments and even makes a great plating tape for printed circuit boards. Offers clean removal even after extended periods of adhesion. Available in red and clear for ease in identification of various materials or master roll location points.
Series: VRPT
Red Polyester Plating Tape
The VRPT series tape offers the ultimate in masking stop off for electroplating. The carrier is thin for good conformability, and it has a thick adhesive that flows well into microscopic cracks and crevices to provide superb stop off. It has a pressure-sensitive adhesive; push down to activate adhesive. With a 1 mil polyester backing and a 3 mil modified silicone adhesive (4 mil total thickness), it is great for plating, anodizing and splicing. Key characteristics: Ideal for protecting printed circuit boards from harsh chemicals during plating. Can be used in either direct immersion or fume/splash protection. In stock and may be slit to any width and/or die cut to any shape.
Series: 3M 1280
Circuit Plating Tape
3M 1280 is a high-temperature polyester film tape engineered specifically for circuit board masking during electroplating. The specialized blended silicone/rubber adhesive also excels in bonding and splicing siliconized papers.
Series: VT950
Yellow Polyester Tape
Features an exceptionally sticky silicone adhesive formulation designed for demanding bonding applications on difficult surfaces, film splicing, and low-energy plastics. Thin 1 mil carrier provides conformability while maintaining high-temperature resistance to 400°F.
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.
Series: VGT215-LINED
Lined Green Polyester Tape
VGT215-LINED. Enables custom-shaped tape die cuts without tooling costs. Suitable for metal finishers needing short-run quantities, die cut masking tape kits or unique one-off designs. - Zero Tooling Costs: Cut standard shapes and complex, one-off geometries on your own plotter without waiting for custom die-cut manufacturing. - High-Spec Performance: 3M 8992 is the industry standard for high-temperature (400°F) powder coating and chemical resistance to anodizing and plating baths. - Clean Lines, No Residue: Silicone adhesive ensures crisp masking lines on aerospace alloys with zero ghosting or adhesive transfer.
Series: 3M 8985L
Anodization Masking Tape
Purple tape for masking in Type 1 chromic anodizing 3M Anodization Masking Tape 8985L is a reliable non-silicone solution for Type I (chromic acid) anodization. Designed for performance, it is specifically resistant to chromic acid and provides sharp lines with a rubber adhesive for easy removal. This tape can mask and de-mask up to 5x faster* than labor-intensive liquid masking for improved productivity.
Series: 3M 8992
Green Polyester Masking Tape
3M™ 8992 is a green polyester masking tape primarily used for high-temperature applications like powder coating, e-coating, and anodizing. It features a silicone adhesive that removes cleanly without residue after exposure to temperatures up to 400°F (204°C). With excellent chemical resistance, this tape works effectively in chemical processes and demanding work conditions, such as anodizing. The pressure sensitive silicone adhesive performs under a broad range of temperatures up to 400°F (204°C).
