Description

Dahlar® MLF 52 is a modified fluorocarbon shrink tape that has high elongation, eliminating wrinkles when applying to the laminate and will release from any resin system. The tape does not have any release coating but will exhibit natural release characteristics.

Benefits

• Higher elongation allows material to conform better to complex shapes.
• Inherent release properties, no release agents to transfer to the composite.
• Remains soft after high temperature use, does not become brittle. Less labor required to remove.
