Polyimide Film Tapes 5413

About Polyimide Film Tapes 5413

3M Polyimide Film Tape 5413 with DuPont Kapton polyimide film and silicone adhesive used for PCB solder masking and other high temperature applications.

"Halogen Free" refers to the International Electrochemical Commissions Definition, IEC 61249-2-21, which sets the limits of: 900 ppm maximum chlorine; 900 ppm maximum bromine; 1500 ppm maximum total halogens.

• The DuPont Kapton polyimide film does not soften at elevated temperatures, thus the film provides an excellent release surface at elevated temperatures
• Is dimensionally stable at high temperatures, which prevents rework, enabling high productivity
• Is flame retardant, chemical and radiation resistant which protects surfaces to help reduce replacement costs
• The silicone adhesive's high temperature performance reduces adhesive transfer which helps to eliminate cleaning, enabling high productivity
• Available on cardboard or polyethyelene core

Width: 3M Kapton tape is commonly available in widths ranging from a fraction of an inch (e.g., 1/4 inch or 6 mm) to several inches (e.g., 2 inches or 50 mm). Some specialty widths may also be available for specific applications.

Length: The length of 3M Kapton tape rolls can vary, typically ranging from a few yards or meters to several hundred yards or meters. Rolls with longer lengths are often used in industrial applications.

Thickness: The thickness of 3M Kapton tape can also vary. Common thicknesses include 1 mil (0.025 mm), 2 mil (0.05 mm), and 5 mil (0.125 mm). Thicker tapes may be used when additional strength or insulation is required.

1. Electronics: Kapton tape is widely used in electronics manufacturing and repair. It is often used as a high-temperature insulation tape for electrical components, such as wrapping wire bundles, securing delicate parts, or masking during soldering processes.

2. Circuit Board Protection: Kapton tape is commonly used to protect circuit boards during wave soldering or reflow soldering processes. It can withstand high temperatures and provide a barrier against solder and flux.

3. Thermal Management: Kapton tape is used in thermal management applications where high temperatures need to be controlled. It can be applied as a heat shield, thermal barrier, or used to secure thermocouples and temperature sensors.

4. Aerospace and Aviation: Due to its excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties, Kapton tape finds extensive use in aerospace and aviation industries. It is used for wire harnesses, cable wraps, insulation of electrical connectors, and as a flame-resistant material.

5. Automotive: Kapton tape is utilized in the automotive sector for various purposes. It can be used as a heat shield in engine compartments, electrical insulation, and protection against chemicals and abrasion.

6. 3D Printing: Kapton tape is often applied to the print bed of 3D printers to provide a smooth and heat-resistant surface, helping to prevent the printed object from warping or sticking to the bed.
