Die Cutting Polyimide Heat Resistant Tape For Electrical Insulation
Polyimide Heat Resistant Tape uses polyester film as carrier , coated with single-sided or double-sided high-performance organic silicone adhesive. It can be used within a wide temperature range from -260°C (-452°F) to 260°C (500°F). This heat-resistant polyimide tape is suitable for high-temperature working conditions during wave soldering or reflow soldering of printed circuit boards, SMT surface mounting, transformer manufacturing, as well as fixing the positive and negative electrodes and ears of lithium batteries. It has been widely used in aerospace, aviation, marine, spacecraft, missile, rocket, atomic energy, and electronic electrical industries.

Applications
With its very thin and flexible carrier film, Kapton polyimide heat resistant tape can be used to protect circuit boards during wave soldering or reflow soldering, or as electrical insulation components for capacitors and transformers packaging. It is well-known for high-temperature masking in the powder coating industry. Polyimide tape can be combined with other materials such as aluminum foil, copper foil, and glass cloth to create different functionalities and suitable for various industries.
Industrial applications of polyimide tape:
- Aerospace industry: Insulation function for aircraft and spacecraft wings
- PCB board manufacturing: Protection for gold fingers during wave soldering or reflow soldering
- Capacitors and transformers: Winding and insulation
- Powder coating: High-temperature masking
- Automotive industry: Used for wrapping sensors in switches, membranes, seat heaters, or navigation parts of automobiles.
