What happens to G-tape as it ages?
What happens to G-tape as it ages?
G-tape is tested for performance over time by being exposed to a Zenon UV test chamber set to simulate Miami Beach on a clear day, and was exposed to those conditions for the equivalent of 15 years. At the end of test the tape only saw a 30% drop in tensile strength, which means that even after 15 years G-tape retains well over half it's strength!
