Newly developed Kapton® adhesive tapes for Thermal Management

---

Kapton® polyimide films offer high electrical strength, extreme temperature resistance, and low shrinkage. They are therefore particularly well-liked in the electronics industry for e.g. Flexible printed circuits, insulation, and heat conduction.

 Kapton® Development Background

The many different Kapton® variants are a significant advantage for the customer. They combine additional specific features with the already outstanding properties of the polyimide film and thus make adaptation to particular requirements easier:

■ Kapton® HN – standard version from DuPont
■ Kapton® MT– Thermo conductive but electrically insulating
■ Kapton® BCLY* – yellow-colored foil for high-temperature labels
■ Kapton® FWR* – better hydrolytically resistant Kapton films
■ Kapton® B* - black colored Kapton foil, electrically insulating
■ Kapton® FN* – one or two-sided, with FEP, coated foil for wire insulation (thermoplastic bonding)
■ Kapton® XP* – one or two-sided, with PFA coated foil for wire insulation (thermoplastic bonding)
■ Kapton® HPP-ST* – improved mechanical stability, surface treatment
■ Kapton® RS* – electrically conductive Kapton foil with excellent thermal properties

* KGK supplies adhesive tapes, laminates, die-cut party and rolls from many of the above listed versions
