Skived Toolkote: -02 -03 -05 -10
Skived PTFE Tape with Silicone or Acrylic Adhesive
DESCRIPTION:
Toolkote is a pressure sensitive tape using skived PTFE film that is coated with a silicone or acrylic adhesive.
APPLICATION:
Skived Toolkote is used on severely contoured bond jigs and lay-up molds. Skived Toolkote is inert to almost all chemicals, corrosives, and environmental factors. It eliminates the need for release coatings that could be potential contaminants, and is especially useful on composite tools and press platens. Skived Toolkote gives optimum release, and can also be used for flash control, chute lining, heat-sealing machines, covering of coating and drying rolls, lining for guide rails, and any other non-stick, low friction applications.
