Polyimide Kapton Tape

Product Description

Polyimide An sticky tape composed of polyimide film is called Kapton tape. It is renowned for having outstanding thermal, electrical, and chemical qualities that enable it to be used in a variety of applications. The name of the tape comes from the main ingredient, Kapton, a registered trademark of DuPont, the firm that invented it.

260 Deg C (500 Deg F) is the maximum temperature that polyimide Kapton tape can sustain without significantly degrading. Due to this characteristic, it is particularly advantageous in industries like aerospace, automotive, and electronics where the requirement for extreme temperature resistance is present. Even at high temperatures, it maintains its stability and mechanical strength.

Kapton tape provides great electrical insulating qualities in addition to being heat resistant. It is suitable for electrical insulation in situations involving high voltages or electrical currents because to its high dielectric strength and low dissipation factor. Circuit boards, wire harnesses, and electrical and electronic devices all frequently make use of the tape.

Kapton tape is excellent for applications where exposure to hostile conditions or corrosive substances is anticipated since it is chemically resistant to numerous solvents, oils, and chemicals. Additionally, it has strong radiation resistance, which makes it useful in nuclear and aeronautical applications.

The tape often has a smooth, shiny surface and is amber or translucent in colour. It is offered in a range of thicknesses and widths to satisfy diverse application needs. Kapton tape is frequently provided with a silicone adhesive on one side, allowing for simple application and good adhesion to a variety of surfaces.

Polyimide Kapton tape is widely utilised in sectors including aerospace, automotive, electronics, and electrical engineering because of its special mix of qualities. It is used in a variety of production processes as a protective layer and for applications like soldering masking, electrical component insulation, coil wrapping, and thermal management.
