- Prolonged exposure to sunlight or hot caustics will cause backing to become brittle and lose tensile strength.
- Thin, high strength polyester film helps reduce failures due to breakage while meeting low caliper requirements.
- Chemical and solvent resistance to help reduce rejects produced from chemical and solvent attack
- Abrasion resistant to help protect surface from abrasions and rough handling.
3M(TM) Low Outgassing Aesthetic Solar Tape 8006 can generally be used for splicing and applications where chemical resistance and/or clean removal is necessary. The silver backing is transparent polyester with a thin layer of aluminum and the gold is pigmented polyester with a thin layer of aluminum.
