About Polymide Tape
Polymide tape is a good high quality temperature-resistant property, wide performance temperature range. It can be used under temperature from - 60 deg C to 250 deg C for a long period and -269 deg C to 400 deg C for a short period without changing its electrical and mechanic properties.
It's excellent performance and properties such as chemical resistance, high tensile strength, high voltage, often make it the first or only choice for most electrical designers and researchers.
Superior Performance in Extreme ConditionsDesigned for both extreme cold and high heat, the tape can withstand temperatures from -73C up to 260C. Its durable polyimide material paired with silicone adhesive ensures reliable electrical insulation and protection during soldering, making it indispensable for PCB assembly and transformer insulation.
Flame Retardant and Waterproof SecurityWith both flame retardant and waterproof qualities, this tape offers exceptional safety for sensitive applications. The combination of high dielectric strength and secure peel strength provides peace of mind for tasks involving lithium batteries or electrical equipment.
Optimal Application and LongevityThe single-sided, amber-colored tape measures 12 mm in width and 33 meters in length, suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses. Proper storage in cool, dry conditions extends its shelf life to 12 months, ensuring lasting adhesive performance and mechanical resilience.
FAQ's of Polymide Tape:
Q: How does the polyimide tape withstand high soldering temperatures during PCB masking?
A: The tape is engineered with a temperature resistance range from -73C to 260C. Its polyimide material and silicone adhesive maintain stability under high heat, ensuring consistent masking and insulation during PCB soldering without degrading or leaving residue.
Q: What are the primary applications for this polyimide tape besides PCB solder masking?
A: Apart from PCB solder masking, it is commonly used for electrical insulation in transformer windings, lithium battery protection, as well as any high-temperature masking or waterproofing needs in electronics manufacturing and repair.
Q: When should I consider replacing or discarding unused tape?
A: It is recommended to use the tape within its 12-month shelf life. Ensure it has been stored in a cool and dry environment to retain adhesive and mechanical properties. If the tape shows reduced adhesion or physical deterioration, replace it immediately.
Q: Where should the polyimide tape be stored to maximize its longevity?
A: For optimal storage, keep the tape in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Correct storage conditions help preserve its adhesive strength and functional characteristics for up to 12 months.
Q: What process should I follow to apply the tape for transformer insulation?
A: Clean and dry the surface thoroughly. Apply the tape smoothly over the transformer windings, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Overlap the edges slightly if extra insulation is required, and avoid stretching the tape to maintain its dielectric strength.
Q: What benefits does the silicone adhesive provide in this tape?
A: Silicone adhesive offers superior resistance to heat and chemicals, ensuring the tape remains securely attached during exposure to high temperatures and harsh environments. It also enables clean removal after use, preventing residue buildup.
Q: How does the tape ensure safety in electrical and battery applications?
A: The tape's high dielectric strength (4,500V), flame retardant nature, and robust peel strength provide secure insulation and minimize the risk of electrical shorts, making it a safe choice for lithium battery protection and other critical electronic uses.
