A high-temperature tape is a strong, durable, and stretchable tape with an electrostatic charge design that can resist extremely high temperatures. It is commonly made of polyurethane, glass fiber, or aluminum and comes in different widths and sizes. The high-temperature tape is used for bonding, sealing, punching, and fastening purposes. The high-temperature tape is also used for cutting, drilling, embroidery, bonding, sealing, and several other industrial processes. It is also used for protecting the working parts from extreme heat by controlling the transfer of heat from one substance to another.
The high-temperature tape can be applied to various substrates including fiberboard, metal, plastics, foams, wood, and non-fiberboard surfaces. It provides a protective, moisture-resistant, tamper-proof covering, which can also serve as a backing for various adhesives. The use of this adhesive is highly beneficial for several applications. Some common uses include bonding, securing, and repairing various parts.
Polyimide tape is also known as a foil, polyethylene (PET) film, or polyimide core. A heat press is needed to apply this tape. The heat press is a combination of various tools including a heat gun, a blasting cap, and a heat sink. Heat guns and heat sinks are using to apply the high-temperature tape by generating high-pressure jets of hot air. High-pressure jetting is done to attain a smooth flat surface finish.
There are various types of polyimide materials available in the market and these include flexible film, rigid film, and stretch film. Rigid and stretch films are two of the most widely used forms of high-temperature tape. These products are commonly used in printing, wrapping, seal coating, packaging, and many other industries. On the other hand, flexible polyimide material is preferred for application in soft form. When dealing with this type of tape, it is important to choose the appropriate silicone adhesive to ensure a proper bond.
Silicone Adhesive: This type of adhesive is ideal for application in soft form. It has excellent thermal conductivity, adhesion strength, and dimensional stability along with resistance to ozone and UV exposure. Due to these qualities, heat, moisture, and ozone are the least of your concerns when you are using this type of temperature tape.
Duct Tape: As discussed above, duct tape is used for different applications. Some of its applications are for sealing air ducts, oil, and grease ducts, shipboard gaskets, fire doors, safety valve boxes, and more. It also comes in an adhesive form which can be peeled off and used for bonding different objects. These tapes are perfect for sealing small leaks because of their excellent adhesion properties.
