Advantages and Uses of Thermal Tape

Why should you choose the Double-sided Thermal tape? This double-sided thermal tape is a high-quality thermal tape that is tested for superior performance to make sure it can withstand extreme temperatures of up to 140 degrees Celsius. This is a great tape to use on just about anything! It's a tape you can depend on.

The two most important features of thermal tapes are their flexibility and their heat source. The most important aspect to consider when purchasing thermal adhesive tapes is its heat conductivity or how it performs. How well does it adhere to a surface and what type of heat source does it use? You want your thermal tape to perform at its best so you need to choose a tape with a high conductivity rating.

What sets it apart from other thermal tapes is that it contains a double aluminum foil layer right on the surface of the tape. This is the main reason it performs so well. The double aluminum foil layers work together with the double foil's surface tension to create an adhesive that's four times more conductive than standard thermal tape.

It also contains a double aluminum foil layer on the surface, but this time, it has a polyester-based adhesive layer in addition. The polyester-based adhesive provides a much higher tack force than a regular thermal tape. This makes it useful for applications where you need a very strong thermal pad. 

The most thermally conductive of all thermal tapes are the Thermal Stick, which utilizes a patented design to stick to a hot surface without allowing heat to escape. Although the stick design may seem strange to some, thermally bonded tapes such as these have been approved for use in commercial applications by the International Thermometer Council. These pads are made up of a very tough, woven thermoplastic foam and they are used for adhesive packaging and other applications where extreme temperature conditions are a concern. The sticky side of the tape has a very small heat source that's very effective at sticking to very high temperatures.

Although the thermally-bonded aluminum foil may sound like an excellent idea, you should realize that these special tapes are typically very expensive. They may need a special adhesive with very high heat resistance and a large surface area to be worth the cost. For most other applications, you may want to look into some other type of thermal tape that meets your needs without the high cost.
