Kapton® and thin polyimide tapes

Heat-resistant, very thin tapes for electronics and soldering

Polyimide tapes such as Kapton® withstand temperatures above 250 °C and protect PCBs during soldering or insulate coils. The film is only a few hundredths of a millimetre thick. After cutting it curls up and builds up static.

The challenge

  • The cut piece curls up or sticks to itself.
  • Static charge makes the tape cling to blade or housing.
  • PCB masking often needs very short pieces that have to be picked with tweezers.

How the dispenser solves it

The ZCM1100K uses its creaser to press a slight longitudinal fold into the tape, so the piece stays flat and is easy to pick. For narrow polyimide strips from 3 mm there is the ZCM1000B, for short pieces from 5 mm the ZCM1000D.

Suitable dispensers

Typical applications

  • Masking contacts and gold fingers in wave and reflow soldering
  • Insulating coils, transformers and battery cells
  • Fixing during powder coating and painting
  • Heat protection in electronics production
