Patco 502A Clear Polyethylene Film Tape is a versatile, high-performance tape designed for a wide range of applications, including indoor surface protection, material processing, temporary hold down, splicing, seaming, and general-purpose sealing. This transparent tape features a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film backing that conforms easily to irregular surfaces, providing a reliable seal or bond while remaining unobtrusive for less visible repairs. The tape is coated with a durable acrylic adhesive that offers high adhesion, excellent temperature performance, and long-term stability, making it ideal for industrial and fabricating applications.
- LDPE Film Backing: The conformable LDPE film backing allows the tape to adhere smoothly to uneven or irregular surfaces, making it suitable for various applications. Its transparent nature ensures less visible repairs and allows for easy inspection of protected surfaces.
- Moisture Barrier: The tape provides excellent moisture barrier properties, ensuring effective sealing and protection in humid or damp environments.
- Acrylic Adhesive: The high-performance acrylic adhesive delivers strong adhesion and cohesion, resisting cracking, creasing, and edge bleed, while maintaining a permanent bond. It performs well in both high and low temperature environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Durable and Stable: Patco 502A exhibits excellent long-term stability, making it ideal for applications where durability and extended performance are critical.
Recommended Applications:
- General-purpose sealing
- Splicing and seaming for industrial processes
- Indoor surface protection for sensitive materials
- Bondbreaker tape for construction and fabrication
- Temporary hold down during material processing
- Industrial fabricating applications
Usage and Maintenance: For best results, ensure that surfaces are clean and dry before applying the tape. Apply firm pressure to create a strong, lasting bond. Store the tape in a cool, dry environment to maintain its adhesive and film properties over time.
