Premium transparent polyester film tape with solvent-resistant acrylic adhesive, ideal for aerospace and industrial applications requiring chemical resistance and high-temperature performance.
3M™ Polyester Film Tape 853 is a premium industrial-grade transparent polyester film tape engineered for demanding applications where solvent exposure and chemical resistance are critical requirements. Comprised of a thin yet high-strength polyester backing coated with an aggressive acrylic adhesive, this tape delivers exceptional performance in aerospace, automotive, and general industrial applications. The transparent backing allows visibility of protected information while maintaining superior strength and durability, making it ideal for critical label protection and surface sealing applications.
This versatile tape is specifically designed to withstand exposure to harsh chemicals including jet engine fuel, hydraulic fluid, and lubricating oils, making it perfect for aerospace and military applications. The solvent-resistant acrylic adhesive provides quick stick and excellent long-term holding power, ensuring reliable performance throughout the product's operational life. With a temperature operating range from -60°F (-50°C) to 300°F (150°C), this tape maintains its integrity across extreme temperature variations, making it suitable for both high-temperature industrial operations and cold environment applications.
Meeting stringent U.S. government and aerospace specifications including FAR 25.853(a) Appendix F Part I flammability requirements, 3M Polyester Film Tape 853 is qualified to meet Federal Spec. L-T-100 Type 1. Each case contains 4 rolls of 72-yard length tape with a 12-inch width and 2.2 mil thickness, providing substantial coverage for industrial and occupational use. The low moisture vapor transmission rate of the polyester backing ensures extended performance in humid or moisture-prone environments.
