2、 COVERED, POLYURETHANE OPEN WSB-M3G143-B1 CELL FOAM CORE 1. SCOPE The material defined by this specification is a sealing tape which has a soft, open cell polyurethane foam core covered completely by a butyl sealer. This material has release liner on one side only. 2. APPLICATION This specification
3、was originally released for materials used in conjunction with mechanical retention, to seal quarter window modules to the painted sheet metal. The tape should be under proper compression, as specified by the Sealing Engineering Department, for effective sealing. The materials should be conditioned
