Frequently Asked Questions
What types of materials can SA 2100 tape be applied to?
SA 2100 can adhere to most materials including metals, plastics, composites and powder coated surfaces. The silicone adhesive provides excellent high temp bonding while allowing clean removal when necessary.
How well does the tape conform to irregular shapes?
The thin 1 mil polyimide backing has excellent conformability. It can wrap smoothly over small diameter wires as well as intricate shapes and odd geometries.
Is the tape UL recognized for electrical insulation?
Yes, SA 2100 thin tape meets UL 510 standard for electrical insulation up to 600°F. It provides excellent dielectric strength for covering and protecting electrical components.
What temperature can the tape withstand long-term?
SA 2100 can handle continuous exposures up to 600°F. Short term it can withstand even higher temperatures up to 700°F.
Does the tape leave behind any residue when removed?
The silicone adhesive offers clean removal from most surfaces. It is recommended to test compatibility first, but SA 2100 generally will not leave behind any sticky residue when peeled off.
