Polyimide Tape, commonly known in the industry as "Kapton Tape," elevates your manufacturing standards. It perfectly protects electronic components and high-value parts, withstanding heat up to 260°C (500°F) while peeling off cleanly with zero adhesive residue.
OVERVIEW & BENEFITS
Why Do Leading Industries Choose Polyimide Tape?
Many professionals in the industrial sector are familiar with and refer to this tape as "Kapton Tape". However, Kapton is actually a registered trademark of DuPont, which became a genericized term due to its popularity. Technically speaking, it is exactly the same product as Polyimide Tape.
Manufactured from Polyimide film coated with high-performance silicone adhesive, this tape is engineered specifically to handle "extreme conditions" in production lines. Whether facing oven-level heat, harsh chemicals, or high electrical voltage, this tape is the ultimate shield for your valuable components.
Extreme Heat Resistance
Continuously withstands temperatures up to 260°C (500°F) in curing ovens without melting or shrinking.
Residue-Free Removal
Premium silicone adhesive peels off cleanly, leaving no sticky residue and protecting the surface of your parts.
Excellent Electrical Insulator
Features high dielectric strength, perfectly preventing short circuits in electronic applications.
Chemical Resistance
Confidently protects components during plating, coating, or cleaning processes involving harsh chemicals.
Applications
Fulfilling Protection Needs Across All Industries
Whether your production line faces extreme heat or harsh chemicals, Polyimide Tape (Kapton Tape) is the crucial tool that reduces damage and maximizes operational efficiency.
Electronics & PCB Manufacturing
Used for masking gold fingers on printed circuit boards (PCBs) to prevent solder from adhering during high-temperature wave or reflow soldering processes.
Automotive & Electric Vehicles (EV)
Ideal for wire harnessing and protecting engine components exposed to high heat, as well as serving as thermal insulation within EV battery cell modules.
Powder Coating & Plating
Used to mask screw threads, holes, or joints that must remain free of paint or chemicals. Endures high-temperature curing ovens without melting onto the parts.
3D Printing Technology
Popularly applied on 3D printer heatbeds to help plastic filaments (like ABS) adhere better to the base, preventing the print from shifting while resisting high bed temperatures.
Specifications & Selection
Choosing the Right "Polyimide Tape" for Your Engineering Needs
Selecting the correct thickness and adhesive type not only protects your high-value components but also reduces excess costs and accelerates your workflow.
1 Film Thickness
1 Mil (25 Microns)RECOMMENDED
Highly flexible, easily conforming to corners and wrapping around components flawlessly. Best for: PCB masking, small component powder coating, or wire wrapping.
2 Mil (50 Microns)
Extra-thick film offering greater resistance to abrasion, scratching, and higher dielectric strength. Best for: Motor insulation, transformers, or areas requiring impact resistance.
2 Adhesive Type
Silicone AdhesiveNO RESIDUE
Withstands heat up to 260°C (500°F). The core advantage is its "clean, residue-free removal," making it the primary standard for most industrial applications.
Acrylic Adhesive
Provides higher initial tack but withstands moderate temperatures (up to approx. 150°C). Best for: Assembly tasks requiring permanent bonding.
Best Practices
Guidelines for Maximum Efficiency in Application and Storage
To ensure the silicone adhesive and polyimide film perform at their peak, protecting your components 100%, we recommend these 3 standard steps used by factory engineers.
01
Surface Preparation
Before application, clean the component surface thoroughly to remove dust, oil, or moisture using appropriate solvents. This ensures the silicone adhesive bonds securely to the surface at 100% capacity.
02
Application and Squeegeeing
Once the tape is applied, it is highly recommended to use a squeegee or firm finger pressure to push out any trapped air bubbles. This prevents heat or chemicals from penetrating under the tape during production processes.
03
Proper Storage
To extend the shelf life of the adhesive beyond one year, store the tape rolls in a shaded, room-temperature environment (approx. 20-25°C), control humidity, and avoid direct exposure to sunlight (UV) or heat sources.
