There are two types of thermal conductive tape; the first is the thermally conductive tape, the second is the thermoset or fluorescent. Thermally conductive tapes work because they have certain properties that make them a good conductor of heat and this, in turn, allows the temperature to be controlled to the desired level. The type of thermal conductive tape that is used for insulation is generally a thin gauge. This means that it will not create a barrier between the tape and the wall and ceiling or any other surface. The different types of thermal conductive tapes available include the following.
Acrylic is the most common type of thermal conductive tape. It is also known as heat transfer tape. This is a very popular product due to its excellent properties, which include a high melting point, and chemical and mechanical properties. The most common use for thermal conductive acrylic is for interior applications like wall insulation. Some of the more popular interior applications include ceiling tiles, cabinets, and even fiberglass insulation.
Another very popular thermal conductive tape is then thermally fixed tape. Thermally fixed tapes contain an adhesive backing that can be stuck to the wall using standard nails or screws. The adhesive backing will allow the tape to stick to the wall but when you want to remove it, a heat sink fixed to the wall on one of the tapes can be removed to allow access to the adhesive backing.
A very popular thermal conductive tape is the LED lighting thermal management tape. The thermal management tape has been developed to add a third layer of protection between the walls and ceilings. One of the benefits of using this type of thermal conductive tape is that the thermal conductivity of the tape is enhanced when the backing paper is bonded to the bottom layer, creating an additional barrier between the floor and ceiling or floor and wall. Also, another benefit of using the LED lighting thermal management tape is that the electrical components within the housing do not show any heat signature during operation.
The application of thermal conductive tape in a thermal insulation or heat sink can be used as a barrier to help prevent heat transfer. Thermal conductive foil has proven to be a very effective barrier, especially with its high heat reflective properties. There are different varieties of this type of thermal conductive foil. Some varieties have better electrical and acoustical properties than others. Some varieties also allow the electrical and acoustic coupling to be done without any significant loss inefficiency.
When it comes to high adhesion strength and its effect on thermal conductivity, a very popular variation is a two-sided thermal conductive tape known as double-sided thermal tape. This two-sided tape can be purchased in both single and double-sided varieties. The adhesive that is used for application on the double-sided thermal tape is also available in different forms.
