Copper Foil Tape
Principal Uses
This is a zero-temper, high tensile copper foil tape of special electrolytic grade (see specs below). The copper foil substrate accepts solder and is malleable. This tape may be used in industrial and electrical applications including solar panel manufacture, printed circuit production and repair, flexible flat conductor, electrostatic and EMI/RFI shielding.
Features
The service temperature range is -40 to +250F (-34C to +177C).
The aggressive acrylic adhesive forms a permanent bond to low surface energy materials and textured surfaces, as well as non-porous surfaces.
The adhesive is conductive.
The malleable copper foil conforms well to irregular shapes and surfaces. It is UL 510 listed (UL file #E137857).
Surface Preparation / Application
Surface should be dry, clean and free of contaminants prior to tape application. As with all pressure-sensitive adhesive system products, use firm pressure when applying tape. Best adhesion typically occurs over 24 hours; maximum adhesion 1 week.
Note: This tape is a non-stock item, and incurs a minimum buy. Please inquire for additional details. Samples available upon request.
