Shop 3M Polyimide Tape 8997 Light Amber High Temperature Masking In Iraq Best Prices
Professional high-temperature polyimide masking tape rated to 500°F with silicone adhesive, ideal for powder coating, e-coating, and electroplating applications with sharp paint line results.
3M™ Polyimide Tape 8997 is a premium light amber colored polyimide tape engineered specifically for high-temperature masking applications in industrial settings. Featuring a 1.0 mil thick polyimide backing combined with a 1.4 mil silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive, this professional-grade tape is designed to withstand extreme temperatures up to 500°F (260°C) without degradation. The tape seals tight on contact and peels off cleanly, leaving sharp, precise paint lines ideal for powder coat painting operations, e-coating, electroplating, and anodizing applications.
This specialized masking tape delivers exceptional dimensional and tensile strength, allowing it to break through cured paint without silvering or tearing. The light amber color provides excellent visibility for easy identification and precise alignment during application. With its thin, flexible backing, the tape resists shrinking, curling, and edge lifting while maintaining zero adhesive residue upon removal. The silicone adhesive formulation ensures excellent thermal, chemical, and abrasion resistance, making it the ideal choice for demanding industrial masking operations.
3M's Polyimide Tape 8997 is specifically engineered for use in powder coat paint operations where temperatures are rising and durability is critical. Common applications include masking parts for powder coating, masking edges of overlap seams, serving as a barrier for separation of dissimilar metals, and flash break applications. Each roll measures 19.7 inches wide by 72 yards long with a 2.2 mil overall thickness, packaged as a single roll per case with a 3-inch core size for easy handling and installation.
