Taconic has developed an extensive range of adhesive tapes for the Thermal Spray industry to complement its popular PTFE coated products. These adhesive tapes have been specifically designed to perform in applications ranging from Flame and Plasma Spray to HVOF and Grit Blast. Our standard rubber topped thermal masking tape is our A1084 and our new higher adhesion version is the A1111. We have an economical option for masking overspray areas which is our 6605-07 or our 6605-10. Overspray refers to the application of any form of paint, varnish, stain or other non-water soluble airborne particulate material onto an unintended location. This concept is most commonly encountered in graffiti, auto detailing, and when commercial paint jobs drift onto unintended objects. We also have two ply fiberglass with adhesive which is out A1101.

VARTM stands for Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding. It is a composite manufacturing process in which the dry fibers are laid on the tool and vacuum sealed and the resin is drawn through with a vacuum pump. The typical VARTM process is: 1) Dry fabric or a preform is laid up on one-sided tooling 2) Covered with a vacuum bag 3) The air is evacuated by a vacuum pump 4) Liquid resin from an external reservoir is drawn into the component by vacuum 5) The liquid resin is infused into the component 6) A highly permeability resin distribution medium (in this case Porous PTFE Coated Glass Fabric) is placed on the top of the fabric spreads the resin quickly over the lateral extent of the part 7) The resin now only has to flow through the thickness

Silicone is very conformable, flexible, trackable, and wear resistant in comparison to PTFE.By adding a glass fabric to the matrix, Taconic is able to obtain the added benefits of dimensional stability, durability, excellent tensile strength and low elongation. Some products that may adhere to PTFE coated fabrics may not adhere to silicone coated surfaces. The following are some applications:Packaging: Shrink tunnel curtains Food:Tray liners Cooking wheels Manufacturing of flavorants Aerospace, Communications & Military: Tank seals and containment barriers Gaskets, membranes, seals and diaphragms Protective curtains and aprons Other Applications: Insulation and protection Release sheets/separation materials, Expansion joints
