Product Description

3M Polyester Tape 8992 is a dark-green polyester masking tape with pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive for high-temperature masking and process protection. The 0.082 mm tape uses a 0.052 mm polyester backing and provides typical adhesion to steel of 48 N/100 mm, tensile strength of 998 N/100 mm, and 148% elongation. The silicone adhesive performs from -50 to 204 deg C, while the polyester construction provides thermal, abrasion, and chemical resistance. The strong backing supports one-piece removal without slivering and leaves a sharp paint line after masking.

Key features

  • High-temperature silicone masking: The silicone adhesive performs from -50 to 204 deg C for demanding masking and process exposure.
  • Strong one-piece removal: A 998 N/100 mm typical tensile strength supports removal through cured coatings without slivering or breaking.
  • Chemical-process masking resistance: Polyester construction and silicone adhesive support masking in anodizing and acid or caustic chemical-milling operations.

Applications

Applications include powder-coat masking, anodizing and chemical-milling masking, composite vacuum-bag holding, flash breaking, and scratch protection during handling and shipping.

Mechanical Properties
Elongation
Elongation is the process of lengthening something. It is a percentage that measures the initial, unstressed, length compared to the length of the material right before it breaks. It is commonly referred to as Ultimate Elongation or Tensile Elongation at break.
148 %
Tensile Strength (Thin Film)
Tensile strength determines the resistance of a material to break under tension and it measures how much elongating load (or tensile stress) it can handle before fracture. To make it simple, it measures how much force we have to apply when pulling apart a material before it breaks.
