Kapton Tape is a polyimide film used in flexible printed circuits (flexible electronics) and space blankets, which are used on spacecraft, satellites, and various space instruments. Invented by the DuPont Corporation in the 1960s, Kapton remains stable across a wide range of temperatures, from 4 to 673 K (−269 to +400 °C). Kapton Tape is used in electronics manufacturing, space applications, with x-ray equipment, and in 3D printing applications. Its favorable thermal properties and outgassing characteristics result in its regular use in cryogenic applications and in situations where high vacuum environments are experienced.
Kapton tape is a type of polyimide film that is used in a variety of applications. It is made by heating the polyimide resin to form a thin film.
Kapton tape has many benefits, including its high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties. It is also flexible and can be die-cut into various shapes.
Kapton tape is a versatile product with a variety of uses. It is most commonly used in electrical applications because it is resistant to high temperatures and chemicals.
