Types Of Polyimide Film Available In The Market

By Maryanne Goff


A polyimide film is a high performance tape that has hit the market recently. This type of film is specifically made for use in processing and manufacturing industries where it is used as an insulating material. Its a high quality tape that has the capability to withstand harsh conditions without its performance getting affected in one way or another.

Already in the market, there are a number of films of this nature which have been designed uniquely depending on the task they are intended to perform. First is the polyimide tape. This is a shiny brown smooth tape that is enhanced to protect other products from heat, radiations and high temperatures. The tape also has dielectric properties that improve the performance immensely.

Secondly, there is the resistant corona tape. This type ensures that the underlying objects that it covers are protected from the damaging effects of corona that pose a huge risk. The tape is applied on machines that are already in random and constant motion like the generators, electric motors, transformers among many other machines. This tape is made to withstand extreme electric and damage, thermal radiation and many others. It does this by forming a protective layer on the material.

Thirdly there is an adhesive tape that is insulated by a polyimide on both sides of the tape or one side in some instances. If its only coated on one side, the other is insulated by fluoridated ethylene propylene to make it heat seal able and safe from harsh conditions. This perfect combination of two high quality materials makes it perform better no matter the surrounding.

There is another type which is the pressure sensitive adhesive tape. The tape is made up of a polyester film and silicone adhesive that make it possible to shield the inner materials being protected from high pressure. These qualities have made it a preference to many who engage in masking operations that involve the generation of high pressure and temperature. Places where this tape is widely used include electric insulation and cables.

There is also the yellow polyester tape that is already available in the market. Its a one of a kind tape that is thin and transparent but its qualities are close to none. The fact that its significantly light enables it to be more flexible and usable even under poor conditions. The tape is widely used in households since its a good insulator of electric appliances.

Last but not the least, there is a polyimide film heater used mostly in electrical appliances and they are designed according to the specifications of a customer. Its main features are being lightweight and flexible while its performance and efficiency remaining high. It is also long lasting.

It is clear to note that the use of the polyimide film is growing very fast. Their qualities to offer better performance even at the worst of conditions make them preferred by many. Its however sad to say that many people still do not know of their existence hence they do not use.
