Copper foil tape is a versatile, durable product often used in electrical applications. It is coated with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive that provides an immediate bond and is suitable for a variety of temperature ranges. As a result, it can be used in a wide range of applications, including electrical wiring, electrical repairs, and stained glass window making.
Copper foil tapes are widely used for shielding against electrostatics, cable wrapping, and stained glass work. They are available in standard slit widths and with conductive or non-conductive adhesive. Their flexibility makes them easy to handle, and they can be custom-cut to meet any design needs.
When applying copper foil tape to glass, it's important to remember that it must be centered at all times. Otherwise, it will show through the glass and look unsightly. If it strays from the center, it can be removed with a knife and re-applied.
Copper foil tapes also carry a wide variety of backing agents, including thermosetting and non-thermosetting adhesives. Copper foil tapes are available with polypropylene and polyimide backings, as well as various other materials. Copper foil tapes are excellent for gasket and seal applications and can also be used for shielding against EMI/RFI.
