Tooltec CS5 is a PTFE film coated with a high temperature silicone pressure sensitive adhesive.
It can be used to seal masters and leaky tool surfaces while providing semi-permanent and contamination free part release.
Tooltec CS5 is a non-reinforced mold surface reconditioning tape allowing conformance to complex contours and providing a semi-permanent release for contoured shapes.
Benefits
• Provides semi-permanent release saving time spent cleaning tooling and reapplying release agents.
• Good elongation, so complex tools can be reconditioned and master models finished for molding.
• Improve tool surface finish and aid resin flow for better part surface finish and reduced hand finishing.
• Other sizes available on special order.
Notes
Tooltec CS5 should be applied by carefully lifting the edge of the backing, then applying the adhesive side to the mold surface.
The remainder of backing should then be carefully removed while pressing the Tooltec CS5 onto the mold surface with an Airsweep or other straight edge.
A vacuum bag can then be applied to remove any residual air.
A cure cycle under vacuum will provide the best results.
The maximum use temperature is dependent upon the duration at maximum temperature and is process specific, testing recommended prior to use.
