The Many Uses of Copper Foil Tape

Copper foil tape, also known as conductive copper tape, is a type of specialized tape that features a thin strip of copper with an adhesive on one end. It is used in a wide variety of applications and environments.

It can be used for a number of different purposes and is extremely flexible, which makes it ideal for a range of projects. Some people have even incorporated it into their creative arts and crafts, such as stained glass artwork and wall art.

The most common use of copper tape is in EMI / RFI shielding. It is often found in electronics production and can be purchased as a self-wound product or on a liner. The copper foil on this tape can be either conductive or non-conductive, depending on the application.

Some electricians choose to use it for repairing electrical cables and modifying printed circuit boards. It is also a good soldering tape and conforms well to irregular surfaces.

It is also useful for sealing seams in heating and cooling system ducts, making them less likely to break apart and saving money on heating or air conditioning costs over time. It can also be used to protect insulation cables and prevent moisture damage.

Another popular use of copper tape is in slug repelling. This is especially helpful for gardens, as it can help keep slugs and snails out of potted plants. This is a simple, inexpensive, and environmentally-friendly way to repel slugs from gardens and plant pots without the need for more toxic chemicals.

Stained glass is a lovely addition to any home decor and copper tape can be used to create beautiful, artistic designs on your glass pieces. The metallic copper tape has an excellent, instant tack and exceptional resistance to temperature and weathering, providing a sturdy base for your glass pieces.

You can even use it in your DIY projects for a variety of purposes, such as creating paper circuits or adding shiny borders to your artwork. The tape is also useful for making textured pieces of art and combining them with other types of tape to create bespoke, metalized creations.
