- Alternative to 3M Kapton Tapes: Tapes Master 1 Mil polyimide tape is alternative to 3M Kapton tape. The tape is a HN general purpose amber color film with silicon adhesive and 3” polyethylene core. RoHS approved and Halogen Free.
- High Temperature Resistant - Flame Retardant: Polyimide tape not only flame retardant, but also chemical and radiation resistant which protects surfaces to help reduce replacement costs.
- No Residue after Peeling Off: Polyimide Tape by Tapes Master is an ideal choice for sublimation processes, thanks to its exceptional heat resistance and silicone adhesive formulation that ensures residue-free removal. Polyimide film does not soften at elevated temperatures, thus provides an excellent release surface at elevated temperatures. In addition, silicone adhesive's high temperature performance reduces adhesive transfer which helps to eliminate cleaning, enabling high productivity.
- Protection, Insolation and Bonding: Protection of gold fingers: of printed circuit boards during wave solder or solder dip process. Insulation and Bonding for electrical switches, motor, lithium battery under Grade H.
- Flame Retardancy: Tapes Master Polyimide Tape complies with UL510A Flame Retardant Category OANZ2/8. Kapton and ABS adhere to each other very well, therefore is the recommended use of Kapton as a bed surface for 3D printers.
