8511 - SILICONE ADHESIVE POLYESTER PLATING TAPE
Silicone adhesive polyester plating tape is specifically designed for use in environments that require resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and strong adhesion without leaving residue.
Electroplating
This tape is commonly used in electroplating processes to mask areas of a component that should not be plated. The polyester film resists the harsh chemicals used in plating baths, while the silicone adhesive withstands high temperatures and remains stable, preventing any leakage or bleed-through.
Anodizing
In anodizing, a process used to create a protective oxide layer on metal surfaces, silicone adhesive polyester tape is used to mask off areas that should remain untreated. The tape ensures clean lines and prevents the anodizing solution from reaching protected surfaces.
Conformal Coating in Electronics
In the electronics industry, this tape is used during the application of conformal coatings, which protect electronic components from moisture, dust, and chemicals. The tape masks off areas that should not be coated, ensuring precise application.
Etching and Chemical Milling
The tape is also used in etching and chemical milling processes, where it protects certain areas of a metal or other material from being etched away. The silicone adhesive resists the chemicals involved, maintaining a strong bond throughout the process.
Insulation and Protection
Due to its excellent electrical insulation properties, this tape is also used to protect and insulate components in high-temperature environments, such as in the aerospace and automotive industries.
In summary, silicone adhesive polyester plating tape is primarily used in electroplating, anodizing, powder coating, painting, sandblasting, conformal coating in electronics, etching, and insulation. Its ability to withstand high temperatures, resist chemicals, and leave no residue makes it an essential tool in various industrial and manufacturing processes.
