3M splicing tape 253 is a single coated paper tape with a modified poly liner implemented on the face side of the tape to help ensure roll quality and provide protection against contamination. This tape is ideal for silicone and plastic based material splicing and butt splicing applications. Liner helps ensure roll quality, ease of unwind and protection of adhesive against contamination. 3M splicing tape 253 is a 4.6-mil, tan, single coated paper tape with a modified poly liner. The tape itself is a treated flat stock paper backing coated with a silicone adhesive. We've implemented a modified poly liner on the face side of the tape to help ensure roll quality and provide protection for the adhesive against contamination until the splice is ready to be made. The release liner also helps create an easy and controlled unwind for easy manipulation and deployment of the tape. 3M splicing tape 253 is designed to perform at temperatures up to 150 deg F. The tape features an adhesive that is long aging to allow the tape to remain adhered and flexible. Silicone adhesives stick well to difficult surfaces such as silicone liners and silicone coated surfaces. When finished this tape removes cleanly and easily to eliminate time consuming cleaning processes. This tape will remove cleanly from a variety of substrates.
