We Accept:
FlameShield
Pure Silicon Tape is
Self-Fusing / Self-Bonding
and non-flammable.

Available
in a 1" / 25mm
and
1.5" / 37mm width.
Each roll contains
432" / 36' / 10.9m of tape.

The proprietary silicone formulation provides optimal thermal dispersion & contains
no flammable dyes.
Storage & Shelf Life

FlameShield Pure Silicon Tape should be stored at room temperatue (70°F) and between 30 to 50% relative humidity.  Storage at over 125°F can result in a reduction of bond strength and adhesion when used. Shelf life is recommended at 4 years from lot date on packaging.
