High-Temp Vacuum Bag Tape
MANUS-BOND 64A-HVT is 100% solid, Grey colored preformed synthetic hybrid polymer based sealant tape, developed for the Aerospace and composite industry. It is designed for vacuum bagging operations during pre-preg and composite parts manufacturing at room temperature and elevated temperatures. The tape when it cures in oven without outside pressure does not foam in the same way other vacuum bag tapes in the market do. This product has been formulated with good initial tack, balanced level of softness to easily seal around vacuum and resin injection ports, high molecular weight polymers to resist flow under vacuum and pressure, and it will maintain an air-tight seal during the resin cure cycle, yet strips clean from the tool surface. Typical uses for this tape include debulking/compacting, envelope bagging, pre-preg, resin damming, or as a pressure strip.
