Description
AeroZero® Heat Resistant Thermal Tape
AZ-GR Tape
Product Description
AZ-GR Tape consists of a 165 micron (6.5 mil) AeroZero® polyimide aerogel film with a 50.8 micron (2 mil) external graphite film joined with a 25.4 micron (1 mil) adhesive. The adhesive is a high-performance engineering grade silicone pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) with a release layer that is peeled off before application to a substrate. Potential substrates include stainless steel, aluminum, glass, carbon fiber, and polymer substrates such as polyimides, polyether ketones, polyurethanes, and polyesters. Typical use is thermal barrier/protection of parts in the Aerospace, Defense and Electronic industries.
Application
Prior to peeling the release liner from the adhesive, ensure the substrate is clean and free of loose particles. Standard application temperature is 25 °C (77 °F) and the recommended set time for optimal adhesion is three days prior to testing. The minimum application temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) and minimum set time is 24 hours before performing any tests. Increasing temperature and dwell time may increase adhesion strength.
