Normal use of our High Temperature Masking Tape is for
masking or protective applications on printed circuit boards
not exceeding temperatures of 150°C (302°F) at a duration
under 45 minutes. If the tape is used for masking operations
or temporary protection, it should not be left on the product
for more than 24 hours. For best results, the tape should
not be exposed to ultraviolet rays or high temperature for
prolonged periods of time (beyond manufacturer’s specs).
This tape is non-staining under normal use as described
above.
Applications for High-Temp Masking Tape
Silk screening applications
Masking application in spray and brush painting,
non-staining

Tape Dispenser
2 inch wide ESD Tape Dispenser
Use with Wescorp ESD tapes
For tape with 3" (7.62 cm) Cores
For tapes rolls up to 2" (48 mm) wide (or combination of
rolls)
Groundable chassis with included ground cord
Wescorp Tape Storage:
For best results, tape inventory should be continually
replenished. It is recommended that rolls of tape be stored
flat and rotated (flipped over to the other side) periodically.
Tapes should be stored in a dry, well ventilated room with
a reasonably consistent temperature of 68°F (20°C) and be
protected from exposure to direct sunlight. Tape should not
be stored in ultraviolet sunlight, moisture, or heat. Tape over
one year old should be evaluated by the user to determine
acceptability for the user’s application.
