Rapidstick™ Polyimide Adhesive Tape

Rapidstick™ Polyimide Adhesive Tape, made from polyimide film and a cross-linked silicone adhesive, is a flame and heat resistant high temperature tape designed for both permanent and temporary bonding. It is suitable for wide variety of applications in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing industries, including 3D printing, fibre optics, semi-conductors, smart cards, and solar panels. It can withstand high temperature powder coating and anodising operations, features an exceptionally thin backing that leaves no residue or stain upon removal, and resists punctures, abrasion, and tearing – but can be trimmed easily with a sharp razor blade.

Polyimide Adhesive Tape is ideal for electrical and thermal insulation in demanding electrical and electronic environments, effectively used in hand soldering and mass soldering applications, including wave soldering. Common uses in these industries include:

• Adhering ABS and PLA to heat beds
• Temporary securing of components
• Wire and cable wrapping
• Masking gold contacts during soldering
• Preventing unwanted electrical connections
• Insulating coil from high temperatures

Polyimide Adhesive Tape is high performing with excellent solvent, acid, and oil resistance, minimal shrinkage after baking, high vibration resistance, and unique mechanical properties such as a wide temperature range (-75°C to 260°C) and high dielectric strength.
