Premium silicone adhesive polyester tape for high-temperature masking and splicing with clean removal, chemical resistance, and aerospace-grade durability in extreme conditions.
3M™ Polyester Tape 8403 is a premium high-temperature masking and splicing tape engineered for demanding industrial applications. This translucent green polyester tape features a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive that provides exceptional bond strength on difficult-to-adhere surfaces, including silicone-coated papers and films. The tape maintains flexibility and adhesive performance across an impressive temperature range from -60°F (-50°C) to 425°F (218°C), making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and composite manufacturing applications.
Designed as a thicker, more durable version of the 3M™ Polyester Tape 8402, the 8403 offers superior durability and longer service life in high-stress environments. The silicone adhesive formulation ensures clean, one-piece removal from most surfaces without residue, making it perfect for temporary masking applications. The tape's chemical-resistant backing provides exceptional durability in harsh environments such as anodization processes, acid baths, and caustic chemical milling operations.
This industrial-grade tape meets multiple aerospace specifications and is engineered for professional use in composite bonding, metal surface masking, flash breaker applications, and protective wrapping during handling and shipping. The 12-inch width and 144-yard length provide substantial coverage for production environments, with each roll packaged individually for convenience and inventory management.
