2、APE, CLOTH - POLYESTER ADHESIVE COATED - HEAT ACTIVATED ESB-M3G120-A NOT TO BE USED FOR NEW DESIGN 1. SCOPE The material defined by this specification is a cloth tape coated on one surface with a non-tacky polyester adhesive. The adhesive bonds the tape to various substrates by heat activation. 2. A
3、PPLICATION This specification was released originally for material used to form an insulator “patch“ to bond polyvinyl insulated electrical wiring at weld joint areas to a polyester backing support. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.0 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part produc
4、ers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.2 COLOR Blue, green or as specified on the engineering drawing. 3.3 BREAKING STRENGTH, min 90 lb/in (16 N/mm) width (ASTM D 1000) Elongation, min 25% 3.4 SOFTENING POINT 120 - 130 C Test Method: Place
5、 a small sample of tape with the adhesive side up, between two glass slides, on a melting point apparatus heating block (Fisher-Johns or equivalent). Softening point is determined by an adhesive appearance change from partially opaque to transparent. 5. GENERAL INFORMATION The material data included
6、 herein is for information only and is not a requirement for the supplier. 5.1 COMPOSITION 4 oz/yd2 (0.136 kg/m2) poplin weave; 65 - 35% polyester/cotton blend fabric, with a thread count of 109 x 61/in2 (43 x 24/cm2). The adhesive is a 0.004 in (0.10 mm) thick translucent, polyester film coated on
7、one surface of the polyester cloth, and is heat activated. 5.2 APPLICATION TEMPERATURE 150 - 200 C A 7 s dwell time at 175 C is preferred to fuse the tape to the substrate.
