Polyimide Kapton KOPTAN tape

Polyimide Kapton KOPTAN tape

2017-02-12 by Rob

I got some polyimide tape from ebay and noted that it was tagged KOPTAN 
on a label on the tape.
Noting the 3M name is KAPTON
The EBAY tape is      $2.59 per 100 foot roll.
The MOUSER price is $64   a roll.

It worked fine for me... held parchment paper to an 8x11 paper in the 
laser printer without melting.

Kapton is a trademark.  Often it’s just called ‘high temperature tape’.

 

As an aside get the brown stuff, the green stuff is rubbish.

I use regular cheap transparent tape for printing. Also use it for the laminato . Not once have I had a problem with melting.
