Track repair & training

Flextac Wire Dots are a wire tacking system consisting of pre-cut shapes of a thin, flexible
polymer film membrane coated on one side with a high performance, electronics grade
permanent pressure sensitive adhesive resulting in a highly conformable, high strength
bond. The adhesive release liner is an environmentally stable poly-coated Kraft liner.

Old - Jumper wires bonded with messy
and difficult to use quick set glue.

As with any wire tacking material, in order to achieve maximum bond strength and reliability, application surface must be clean, dry and free of flux, skin oils and other contaminants.
Clean with isopropyl alcohol or equivalent if necessary. Firm application pressure develops better adhesive contact and thus improves bond strength. Avoid placing Flextac Wire Dots or any other wire
tacking material directly over exposed copper or plated surfaces.

Flextac Wire Dots will perform best when applied at temperatures between 60°F (15°C) and
100°F (38°C). Do not apply below 50°F (10°C).

General Performance Characteristics

* Bond Strength
Flextac Wire Dots have very good initial bond strength that generally increases as a
function of time over approximately 72 hours to stabilize as a high strength reliable bond.

* Humidity Resistance
High humidity has a minimal effect on adhesive performance. Bond strengths are
actually slightly higher after exposure for 7 days at 90°F (32°C) and 90% relative humidity.

* Temperature Cycling and Bond Strength
New - Jumper wires bonded with
neat, easy to use, Wire Dots.


Bond strength generally increases after four times through:
4 hours at 158°F (70°C)
4 hours at -20°F (-29°C)
16 hours at room temperature.

* Cleaning Process Resistance (chemical & hot water)
Flextac Wire Dots will hold securely after exposure to numerous chemicals including
most flux cleaning solutions/sprays, saponifiers, "Freon" TF, mild acids and alkalis.
Wires will hold securely through a typical PCB hot water wash.

* Temperature Range
Low: -40°F (-40°C)
High short term: 390°F (200°C)
High long term: 275°F (135°C)

* Repositioning
RoHS Compliant

Flextac Wire Dots can be repositioned during and immediately after initial bonding
without causing adhesive transfer or loss of bond strength.

* Shelf Life
Product retains its performance and properties for one year from date of purchase if
properly stored at room temperature conditions. Storage in plastic bag is recommended.

* Applications
