NEW GENERAL PURPOSE
POLYESTER TAPE
16th October 2012

3M has added a high-performance general purpose polyester tape to its industrial tapes range. Ideal for powder-coat masking or splicing, the new General Purpose Polyester Tape 8995 by 3M can also be used as a flash breaker for adhesive overspill or for bagging in the composite bonding process.

Available in 25mm or 50mm widths and coloured blue for recognition, General Purpose Polyester Tape 8995 is a 60 micron tape with a polyester carrier and pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive which gives a tight bond for sharp edge lines. It offers clean removal up to temperatures of 200°C.

Kirsty Horsfall of the 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division explained: “There are times in any industry when you need a quality product at a competitive price and General Purpose Polyester Tape 8995 offers a cost-effective alternative to some of the more specialised tapes. It is ideally suited for high-temperature applications such as flash-breaking in composite bonding, powder coat masking and splicing silicone and non-silicone coated papers.”
