Product Description
Kapton tape, manufactured and supplied by I Tape Solutions is commonly functional as a cable wrap that can offer protection to electrical components during the process of soldering. This is effective for mass soldering, wave soldering and hand-soldering applications. Kapton tape is functional as a flame-resistant solution, suited for both electrical as well as thermal insulation. It can be removed easily without making a residue. The said product is useful for packing, powder coating and temporarily securing components. This can be applied to circuit boards and allows for simple trimming. It allows for advanced bonding to several surfaces.
Exceptional Temperature ResistanceKapton Tapes maintain their physical and electrical properties across a vast temperature range from cryogenic -269C to elevated +260C continuous operation. This makes them suitable for thermal insulation, aerospace, and electronics manufacturing where performance under extreme conditions is critical.
Superior Electrical InsulationWith a dielectric strength of over 8000 V, these tapes deliver dependable protection for electrical equipment, preventing voltage breakdown and short circuits. Their high insulation capability makes them perfect for PCB masking, coil wrapping, and wire insulation tasks in industrial settings.
Chemical and Flame ResistanceThe polyimide film core and silicone adhesive provide robust resistance to chemicals, solvents, and flames, ensuring safety and durability in harsh and hazardous environments. This reliability supports long-term use in demanding conditions such as laboratories, factories, and electronic assembly lines.
FAQs of Kapton Tapes:
Q: How can Kapton tapes withstand such extreme temperatures?
A: Kapton tapes are made from polyimide film, which inherently resists temperature fluctuations from as low as -269C up to +260C, allowing them to perform reliably in both cryogenic and high-heat applications.
Q: What benefits do Kapton tapes offer for electrical insulation?
A: They provide excellent dielectric strength exceeding 8000 V, ensuring effective insulation and protection against electrical faults, particularly during PCB masking and wave soldering.
Q: When should I use Kapton tape instead of conventional tapes?
A: Use Kapton tape when your application requires superior thermal endurance, chemical resistance, flame retardancy, or high electrical insulationsuch as in electronics manufacturing, aerospace, or laboratories.
Q: Where can I source Kapton tapes in multiple sizes for different projects?
A: Standard widths of 12 mm, 24 mm, and 50 mm are available, and special sizes can be supplied upon request from exporters, manufacturers, or suppliers based in India.
Q: What is the process for applying Kapton tape during PCB masking?
A: Clean the surface, then apply Kapton tape with the adhesive side down to mask areas needing protection from solder or heat during assembly. Its single-sided adhesive simplifies accurate placement and removal.
Q: How does the products chemical and solvent resistance benefit industrial applications?
A: Kapton tapes resist most chemicals and solvents, ensuring stable performance and reducing material degradationeven in harsh factory environments or when exposed to cleaning or manufacturing agents.
Q: Is Kapton tape compliant with environmental standards?
A: Yes, these tapes are RoHS compliant, ensuring they meet safety regulations for hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and are suitable for global export.
