Kapton tape is a high-temperature resistant polyimide tape that is commonly used as a print surface in 3D printing to improve adhesion of the printed object to the print bed.Kapton tape is known for its ability to withstand high temperatures without melting or releasing harmful fumes, making it ideal for use in 3D printing with materials that require high-temperature prints, such as ABS, PETG, and nylon.
To use Kapton tape in 3D printing, the print bed should first be properly cleaned and leveled. Then apply the Kapton tape evenly to the print bed, taking care not to let the tape stick together and avoiding bubbles and wrinkles when applying the tape to the glass.
3D printer users like to use this polyimide Kapton tape in 3D printers with heated build platforms. At the specified temperature, the plastic filament fully adheres to the polyimide film, but it also has self-releasing properties when the print platform cools.Kapton tape is a practical choice for 3D printer beds.
The plastic filament will have full adhesion to the polyimide film at the designated temperature, but it also has self releasing characteristics as the bed cools. Your print will be easy to pop off. Kapton tape is the practical choice for your 3D printer bed.

Kapton tape for 3D printing Features
Kapton tape for 3D printing is heat resistant, electrically insulating, chemically resistant, and resistant to abrasion.
One of the biggest advantages is that if the part is firmly adhered to the base, removing the Kapton tape itself is possible without damaging the base with the 3D printer's sharp squeegee.
Kapton tape for 3D printing Application
Kapton tape can be used not only for 3D printing but also for circuit boards, wave soldering, painting and other applications where high temperature masking is required.
