3M 7010045182 Nylon Film Tape 8555 White 2in X 72yd 6.0 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7010045182 is a high-temperature nylon film tape designed for demanding masking, bonding, and composite fabrication applications. Built on a 6.0 mil nylon film backing, it uses a non-silicone rubber adhesive that holds reliably under elevated temperatures where standard tapes fail. The tape is supplied in a 2-inch by 72-yard roll, making it practical for continuous masking runs or repeated use across a project. Aerospace fabricators, composite technicians, and industrial maintenance crews rely on this tape for applications where heat resistance and clean removal are both required.

This tape is suited for advanced composite and metal bond masking operations. It performs well in composite bagging processes, providing a conformable barrier layer that can follow contoured surfaces. It is also used to help remove flashing after composite bonding, where a clean separation from cured material is essential. Typical install environments include aerospace component fabrication, industrial manufacturing lines, and specialty metalwork shops where elevated process temperatures are standard.

Key Features

• 6.0 mil nylon film backing provides strength and conformability at high temperatures
• Non-silicone rubber adhesive avoids silicone contamination on bond-critical surfaces
• 2 inches x 72 yards per roll supports extended masking runs with fewer splices
• White film provides visual contrast for positioning and inspection on composite layups
• Suitable for composite bagging operations and post-bond flashing removal

Compatibility

Designed for use in advanced composite masking, metal bond masking, and composite bagging operations where a high-temperature nylon film tape is specified.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by composite technicians or industrial fabricators working under process specifications. Ensure bonding or masking surfaces are clean and free of contamination before applying tape. Follow applicable process specifications or shop orders for cure temperature limits and removal procedures. Remove tape promptly after processing per the applicable composite fabrication process to ensure clean separation.
