Technical adhesive tapes for electrical applications

The listing shows Electrical Tape, including insulating tapes, shielding tapes and antistatic tapes. These functions are distinct: an insulating backing does not establish the conductivity of another tape construction. When choosing technical adhesive tapes, first define the required electrical function and then examine the full construction of the specific product. Other specialist tapes can be found on the subpages.

Insulation, shielding and antistatic performance are different requirements. A PVC insulating tape in the range is designed to insulate and identify cables. A copper foil shielding tape in the range is used for grounding and electromagnetic shielding. Antistatic polyester tapes form a separate product group. Suitability depends on the construction of the individual product and the application. A property of one material alone does not establish the electrical function of the complete bond.

That can be assessed only for a specific product under its actual conditions of use. For example, tesa® 51408 has a polyimide backing with a silicone adhesive and is intended for wave soldering and masking during powder coating. Those details apply to that tape; they do not set a temperature limit for all technical adhesive tapes. Tell us the process step, exposure time, surface and intended removal so the backing and adhesive can be evaluated.

State the component material and surface, the required function, the loads in use and how the tape will be processed. For the supply form, specify the width, length or shape and whether you need rolls, sheets or die-cut parts. Krückemeyer GmbH processes suitable materials for the application; feasibility depends on the material, geometry and production method. For electrical or thermal requirements, the specific product should be checked against its data before a commitment is made.
