1.1These test methods cover tests for bondable silicone rubber tapes which form a sealed structure either with the application of heat (and pressure if needed) or by the process of auto-adhesion (self-fusing).

1.2The methods appear in the following sections:

Test Method	Section

Adhesion	3 - 9
Bond Strength	10 - 17
Dielectric Breakdown Voltage	18 - 25
Hardness	40
Length	32 and 33
Thickness	26 - 31
Width	35 - 39

1.3The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard, except for °C. The values in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specific hazard statement see 22.1.1.
