3M 7010045178 Nylon Film Tape 855 White 0.5in X 72yd 3.2 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7010045178 is a high temperature nylon film tape designed for demanding masking and composite bonding applications. Built on a 3.2 mil nylon film backing, it uses a non-silicone rubber adhesive that maintains bond integrity under elevated heat conditions. The roll measures 0.5 inches wide by 72 yards long, making it a practical size for precise masking work in fabrication shops, aerospace environments, and advanced manufacturing settings. Licensed trades and composite fabricators rely on this tape where silicone contamination is a concern and clean removal is required after cure cycles.

This tape is suited for advanced composite bagging operations, metal bond masking, and post-cure flashing removal. It performs in applications where the tape must withstand the elevated temperatures of oven or autoclave cure cycles without adhesive breakdown or film distortion. Typical users include composite fabricators, aerospace technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working with bonded assemblies and laminated structures.

Key Features

• 3.2 mil nylon film backing provides strength and dimensional stability under heat
• Non-silicone rubber adhesive eliminates silicone contamination risk in bond-critical assemblies
• Rated for high temperature exposure, suitable for composite cure cycles
• 0.5 inch width allows precise masking on complex or narrow geometries
• 72-yard roll length reduces mid-job changeovers on production runs
• White film face aids visual inspection during bagging and masking operations

Compatibility

Designed for use in advanced composite bagging operations, composite bonding masking, and metal bond masking applications where a non-silicone, high temperature tape is required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of oils, dust, and loose particles for best adhesion. When used in autoclave or oven cure applications, follow the composite process specification for maximum exposure temperature and dwell time. Remove tape promptly after the cure cycle while the assembly is still warm to reduce adhesive residue risk. Wear appropriate PPE when working near heated tooling or pressurized bagging equipment.
