About Polyimide Tapes

2023-05-29


Polyimide tapes consist of an amber colored polyimide film coated with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive. They are often used in applications that require good chemical resistance or high temperature resistance.

Polyimide tapes act as excellent electrical insulators, are thin and conformable, and have outstanding tear resistance at elevated temperatures.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Excellent electrical insulation (class 180)
  • Silicone adhesive leaves little residue
  • Exceptional dielectic strength
  • Outstanding tear resistance at elevated temperatures
  • High temperature range (-100°F - 500°F)

POLYIMIDE TAPES ARE WIDELY USED FOR:

  • Circuit board assembly
  • Plating mask (hard chrome and nickel)
  • Coil winding in transformers
  • Gold finger protection during wave soldering
