Description
What is Kapton Tape (Polyimide Tape)?Kapton Tape, also known as Polyimide Tape, is a specialized adhesive tape made from a high-temperature resistant material called polyimide, and is known for its exceptional thermal stability, electrical insulation properties, and resistance to a wide range of chemicals.
Why is Kapton Tape Used? Kapton Tape is widely used in various industries due to its unique properties. It is favored in applications that require high-temperature resistance, excellent electrical insulation, and reliability in harsh environments. Some common uses include:
- Electronics: Kapton Tape is used in electronics manufacturing for masking during soldering, coil insulation, and as a dielectric layer in flexible circuits.
- Aerospace and Aviation: It’s used for insulating wires, cables, and components in aircraft and spacecraft, where exposure to extreme temperatures and vacuum conditions is common.
- Automotive: Kapton Tape is employed in automotive applications for wiring harnesses, sensors, and other components subjected to high temperatures.
- Industrial: It’s used for heat-resistant masking, insulation of heated parts, and protection of surfaces in industrial settings.
- Medical Devices: Kapton Tape is used in medical devices that require electrical insulation and heat resistance.
Technical Parameters of Kapton Tape:
- Temperature Resistance: Kapton Tape can withstand temperatures ranging from -269°C (-452°F) to around 400°C (752°F) depending on the specific type and formulation.
- Dielectric Strength: It provides excellent electrical insulation properties.
- Chemical Resistance: Kapton Tape is resistant to many chemicals, solvents, oils, and gases.
- Thickness: 50 GSM.
- Color: Typically amber or brown available.
Customization of Kapton Tape: Customization options for Kapton Tape include:
- Width and Length: Tapes are available in various widths ie. 10mm, 12mm, 24mm to suit specific needs.
- Adhesive Type: Depending on the application, you can choose from silicone-based, acrylic-based, or other adhesive formulations.
