tesa® 51408

Premium Grade Polyimide Tape 260°C

Product description:

tesa® 51408 is a premium grade polyimide tape with a silicone adhesive that has been specially developed to provide a solution for applications which require high temperature and chemical resistance.

tesa® 51408 is used for various applications, especially for wave soldering, thermal insulation and cable wrapping as well as masking during powder-coating processes where the tape enables sharp color edges and offers excellent paint anchorage. The polyimide tape’s silicone adhesive system provides a high peel adhesion on various surfaces and makes the tape extremely heat-resistant, withstanding extreme temperatures of up to 260°C in continuous applications.
