Features & Benefits

ET23816 (2795) is designed to withstand both punishing abrasion of grit blasting and the extreme temperatures/pressures associated with the plasma spray process.
The adhesive is a high temperature silicone, which allows the product to withstand continuous temperatures up to 260 degrees Celsius, and also prevents tape slippage after application.
Excellent strength and flexibility, which allows wrapping of complex shapes and minimises wrinkling during the flexing of cables.

Applications:

ET23816 is used in the plasma spray process: a method of applying thin coatings of metal or high temperature ceramics to a surface.
The coating is sprayed at high pressure and at extreme temperatures.
The tape is applied adjacent to areas of parts, which are to be plasma sprayed,
ET23816 protect these areas both from grit blasting, which is used as a surface preparation, and from the actual plasma spray coating.

The aerospace industry us the prime market for the use of plasma spray tapes specifically:
