Scapa 657 is a tough masking tape for protecting gold or rhodium finger contacts during hot air leveling and wave soldering processes. With durability and low static characteristics, the product is a specially treated paper laminated to a polyester film and coated with a silicone adhesive that allows the tape to withstand temperatures of nearly 500∞F without leaking. The product protects finger connectors against chemical solvents, solder and rinse water; detaches from the substrate without leaving residue; and performs well in both horizontal and vertical hot air leveling machines.
