STORAGE
Vac-Pak HS8171 is a hydrophilic material. Moisture and water act as plasticizers. The level of moisture content at time of
use is therefore an important factor for successful performance. All nylon films absorb water. The higher the moisture
content the more flexible they become. Conversely at lower moisture levels flexibility is limited.
Do not store rolls vertically on their ends.
HEALTH & SAFETY
Please refer to the product MSDS for safe handling, personal protective equipment recommendations and disposal
considerations.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
TACKY TAPE

SM5126 is a pressure sensitive sealant tape, in roll
form that is designed to adhere various bagging films to platen
surfaces. It has been successfully used with silicone blankets,
nylon and PVC films. Compatibility and tenacious adhesion are
evidenced on a variety of tool surfaces. Typical cure cycle
temperatures requiring a positive bag seal from ambient room
temperature to 450 F (232 C) are easily accommodated.

ADVANTAGES:
Easy to apply by hand (User friendly)

TYPICAL PROPERTIES:
Ideal for oven or autoclave cure
Room temperature to 450
o
F (232
o
C) cure cycles
Strips clean from various tools surfaces
Tenacious adhesion to nylon films and tool surfaces
Non-Hazardous and thermally stable
APPLICATION:
Apply by hand to a clean dry tool or platen with release paper on
top. When the sealant is in position remove the release paper
and lay the film on top. Apply pressure by hand or roller on the
sealant to obtain maximum adhesion and to ensure positive
vacuum. It is recommended to strip below 150
o
F (66
o
C) to
minimize or reduce the parts from becoming warped. SM 5126
can be stripped without leaving a residue on metal tool surfaces
that have been cooled to room temperature.

PERFORMACE TEMPERTAURE RANGE:
Application Temperature Range: 45 F (7 C) to 120 F (49 C)
Service Temperature Range: Room temp. to 450 F (232 C)

PACKAGING:
Tacky Tape

SM5126 sealant is supplied in roll form with a
special release paper. Several standard tape dimensions are
available. This product is available through Holcim Solutions
and Products US, LLC. Customer Service department at 1-800-
