Airtech Flashbreaker 1 Tape
Description
Airtech Flashbreaker® 1 – High-Temperature Clean-Release Tape (72 yd)
Flashbreaker® 1 is a high-tensile, polyester-film tape coated with a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive designed for composite and metal-bond processing. It provides reliable hold during oven or autoclave cures up to ~400°F (204°C) (process dependent) and releases cleanly after cure to minimize rework and residue.
Key Features
- High-temperature capable: suitable for typical oven/autoclave cycles (time-at-temp dependent)
- Clean removal: silicone adhesive helps the tape release easily after cure
- High tensile polyester backing for crisp masking lines and controlled bond/flash edges
- Low-FOD plastic core supports cleanroom and aerospace manufacturing practices
- Industrial length: 72-yard rolls reduce changeovers and waste
Typical Uses
- Holding vacuum bagging materials and consumables in place
- Routing and securing thermocouple wires
- Masking-off and chem-milling protection
- Riveting shop operations; creating neat “flash/bleed” break lines
Ordering
- Widths: 1" and 2"
- Length: 72 yards per roll
- Adhesive: Silicone (clean-release)
Backing: High-tensile polyester film
Notes
- Maximum use temperature depends on duration at temperature and specific process—always qualify in your application.
- Apply to clean, dry surfaces; remove after part/tool has cooled to room temperature for the cleanest release.
- Not a primary vacuum sealant.
