Anti Leak Silicone Tapes
General description
MF50 Anti Leak tape is a self-fusing silicon tape for emergencies and all-purpose repairs. MF50 can be applied on a wide range of surfaces, has many uses including the repair of leaking pipes and hoses, protection of electrical connections, cables, hand tool handles and much more.
Anti Leak Tape is resistant to UV, fuel, water, oils, acids, and wide range of solvents. The tape creates a permanent air-tight and water-tight seal immediately after application. It ensures anti-corrosive and electrical protection. It is very easy to remove and leaves no sticky residue on the elements it covered.

Installation instructions
- Clean the repair surface from dirt, oil etc. before the application.
- Attach the beginning of tape close to damage area and start wrapping around (with tension).
- Keep stretching the tape, and continue installation with 50% overlap. It will fuse to itself after overlapping.
- Finish the wrapping over the problem area and once finished press the end firmly into place.
- For high pressure leaks, additional wrapping may be required. Most hose repairs can be repaired with 3-5 layers in thickness, and wrapping 3 to 5 inches in each direction away from the leak point; however, additional strength can be added simply by wrapping more layers of the MF50 tape.
- For electrical wiring, it is not necessary to stretch tightly. In fact, it will be more resilient to abrasion when it is not stretched as tightly.
Removing:
Cut the tape using scissors or knife.
Maintenance and storing
It is suggested to store the MF50 tapes in dry area at room temperature away from direct exposure to light. However there is no defined storage period of MF50 tapes. According to the experience of the customers the silicone tapes would work very well even after many years of storage.
