3M™ Ultra-Thin Water Contact Indicator Tape 5559
12 in x 180 yd, 1 ea/Case
3M™ Ultra-Thin Water Contact Indicator Tape 5559 provides a rapid visual indication of water contact. The tape changes color from white to red when exposed to water and is designed for applications requiring a thin water-indication solution.
Key Features
- Paper backing is highly absorbent and transports water to show indications.
- Acrylic adhesive provides high bond strength to most surfaces.
- Suitable for low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene and powder coatings.
- Rotary die-cuttable construction with no film top layer.
- Thin construction supports slim electronics device designs.
