A finished high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) tape used with, for example, during known HVOF processing imparts high temperature silicone pressure sensitive adhesives that provide enhanced adhesion strength to provide a firm adhesion to its own backing and unexpectedly leave no residue upon removal from metals. The novel enhanced tapes are made up of coated or uncoated, woven or non-woven glass cloth and ceramic based fabric laminated to at least one side of a metal-foil using a silicone based laminating adhesive, which is then laminated with another layer of a pre-selected combination of the same materials and coated with a high temperature silicone pressure sensitive adhesive and wound to itself to make a self wound tape or covered adhesive assembly with a release liner to make a laminated sheet for die cut samples, among other things. Applications including military and commercial aircraft, automobiles and metal finishing usages leverage of on the unique and inherent benefits of the novel enhanced tapes of the instant teachings. |
