Description

Kapton tape, also known as polyimide tape, is a specialized tape known for its exceptional heat resistance and electrical insulation properties

• Electrical Insulation: Kapton tape is primarily used for electrical insulation in high-temperature applications. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -269°C to over 260°C (-452°F to over 500°F) without losing its electrical or mechanical properties.
• Circuit Board Masking: It is used in electronics manufacturing for masking gold fingers and other sensitive components during soldering or conformal coating processes.
• Thermal Insulation: Kapton tape is used for thermal insulation in applications where components or wires need protection from extreme heat or cold.
• Surface Protection: It is used to protect surfaces from scratches, abrasion, and chemicals in industrial and aerospace applications.
• Repair and Maintenance: Kapton tape is used for temporary repairs of wires, cables, and components in environments where high temperatures are present.
• Flexibility and Conformability: Due to its flexibility and ability to conform to irregular shapes, Kapton tape is used in various manufacturing processes where precise and intricate masking or insulation is required.
• Spacecraft and Aerospace Applications: Kapton tape is commonly used in spacecraft and aerospace applications due to its ability to withstand the extreme conditions of space, including vacuum and radiation exposure.
• Labeling and Identification: It can be used for labeling and identification purposes in environments where durability and resistance to harsh conditions are critical.
