Kapton tape Kapton tapes are polyimide polymers in the form of a film. Kapton polyimide tapes are also known as high temperature tape or polyimide tape. Some of the characteristics of the kapton polyimide tape are: It maintains an excellent physical and electrical properties over a wide range of temperature from -269ªc (-452ªf) to as high as 260ªc (500ªf) It has excellent chemical and radiation resistance Standard adhesive type is silicon Kapton polyimide tape can be used: As mask in the electronic assembly As insulation for traction motor in the automotive industry As bar code labels on the pcb processed through wave soldering In flexible circuitry In nuclear reactors and outer space Our polyimide tapes are made in the p.R china. Kapton tapes are produced in 1, 2 and 5 mil thickness. Low static products are primarily used in the electronic assembly where static charge is a problem. Kapton is a registered trademark of dupont
