The role of PET tape

Update:20 Dec 2024

PET tape, the full name of which is polyethylene terephthalate tape, is a high-performance industrial material that plays a vital role in modern manufacturing. The following are the main functions of PET tape:

High temperature protection:
PET tape has excellent high temperature resistance and can withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees or even higher (short term) without deformation or melting. This enables it to provide effective protection during high temperature treatment processes (such as spraying, baking paint or electroplating) in the fields of electronic product manufacturing, automotive industry, aerospace, etc., to prevent non-working areas from being damaged by high temperatures and ensure product quality and production efficiency.
Insulation performance:
PET tape has good insulation performance and can be used in the field of electrical insulation. In precision operations such as circuit board production and electronic component assembly, PET tape can fit tightly on the circuit board, provide a reliable insulation barrier for sensitive components, prevent current short circuits and leakage, and ensure the normal operation and safety of the circuit.
Gold finger protection:
Gold fingers are key connection parts on circuit boards, and require extremely high precision and reliability. During the welding process, PET tape can tightly cover the gold finger to prevent it from being contaminated and damaged by substances such as solder and flux, thereby protecting the integrity and conductive properties of the gold finger.
Packaging, fixing and bundling:
PET tape performs well in packaging, fixing and bundling with its strong material and excellent adhesion. It can firmly fix various items to prevent loosening and falling off. At the same time, its removable design makes it easy to tear off when needed without leaving residual glue, keeping the surface of the adhered object clean and beautiful.
Chemical stability:
PET tape has good tolerance to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, and can be used to protect equipment and components from chemical corrosion. This feature makes it widely used in industries such as chemicals and electronics.
High transparency:
Some PET tapes have high transparency and will not affect the appearance of the object after pasting. This feature makes it widely used in occasions with high requirements for appearance (such as pasting of transparent materials, screen protection of electronic products, etc.). Easy to die-cut:
PET tape can be die-cut according to different needs to make tapes of various shapes and sizes to meet diverse application needs.
In summary, PET tape plays an irreplaceable role in many industrial fields with its advantages in high temperature resistance, insulation, protection of gold fingers and excellent packaging and fixing performance. It is not only an indispensable and important material in modern manufacturing, but also one of the key factors to ensure product quality and production efficiency.
