APICAL
World-- Real World Applications

Pressure
Sensitive Tapes
Pressure
sensitive tape is yet another major application for APICAL
Polyimide film. These tapes usually employ one or two
mils thick APICAL Polyimide and use different types of
adhesive depending upon the application. In the electronics
industry, where about half of all the pressure sensitive
tape is used, APICAL Polyimide provides the perfect masking
needed to protect plated leads on printed circuit boards
during wave soldering where temperatures can reach 750°C.
APICAL Polyimide is also used in electrical applications
for wrapping armature coils and as a splicing or overwrap
tape in insulating applications.
APICAL
Polyimide can be coated with a wide range of silicone
(180°C operating temperature) or acrylic (150°C
operating temperature) adhesives.
Superior
dimensional stability, high tear and abrasion resistance,
excellent adherability to adhesives, high dielectric strength,
and superior long-term heat aging are all properties that
make APICAL Polyimide the polyimide film of choice for
PST applications.
