A Few Common Uses For Thermal Transfer Tape

Jul 19, 2022

Thermally Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape provides a superior alternative to traditional adhesive solutions and assembly attachment techniques. These adhesives are made with a ceramic thermally conductive filler and have excellent mechanical strength and wet-out properties. They are particularly suitable for applications involving heat transfer over rough surfaces. You can select between standard and custom-cut thermal tapes to suit your specific application needs. Listed below are a few common uses for thermal transfer tape.


Thermal-transfer printable sterilization tape is designed for high-pressure steam or dry heat sterilization. Its permanent adhesive makes it ideal for identifying surgical instruments, metal surfaces, and containers. This type of thermal-transfer tape is available in rolls and can be cut to length using a printer's cutting feature. 


Some printed films can be applied without the use of transfer tape. However, the heat radiated by the platen can cause the edges to curl and make placement difficult. Using a Teflon sheet underneath the film will prevent the film from curling and provide a level surface to place the transfer. Heat-resistant transfer tape can also withstand high temperatures and is easy to remove. For more information, check out our heat-transfer tape product guide.


Heat transfer tape is important to the sublimation process. It is used to hold heat transfers in place while the heat press is closed. It is also useful for sublimation printing, which requires temperatures in excess of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat-resistant tape comes in different lengths and widths. A standard 10mm wide tape will be suitable for holding heat transfers onto mugs, tiles, and sublimation blanks. If you want to use heat-resistant tape, make sure to choose a machine with a corresponding width.
