Kapton tape is a type of polyimide film that is used in a variety of applications. It is made by heating the polyimide resin to form a thin film.
Kapton tape is a material used in industry and electronics that has unique thermal, physical, and electrical properties. It is often used as an insulator for high-temperature applications or in situations where electrical insulation is needed.
Kapton is not appropriate to wrap cables: it's relatively stiff, and thus won't be conformal to the cable, which leaves air gaps, which have lower insulation per mm.
Kapton performs well But must be sealed from humidity to prevent creepage.
Due to the variety of possible end-uses, it is ultimately the responsibility of the customer to determine a product's suitability for a particular application.
Kapton tape is a versatile product with a variety of uses. It is most commonly used in electrical applications because it is resistant to high temperatures and chemicals.
Kapton tape can withstand temperatures up to 260°C (500°F) and resists solvents, oils, and acids. This makes it an ideal material for use in high-temperature environments or for applications where solvent resistance is required.
In addition, Kapton tape is also flexible and has a low coefficient of friction. This makes it great for use in applications where bearings or other moving parts are present.
