Anti Static Polyimide - ULT216

Anti Static Polyimide Tape – 25.4mm x 33m Length – ULT216

Our Anti Static Polyimide Tape is a specialist ESD-safe masking solution engineered specifically for sensitive electronic applications where electrostatic discharge protection is critical. This advanced tape combines the exceptional thermal performance of polyimide film with integrated anti-static properties to safeguard delicate components from static damage during manufacturing and assembly processes.

What are Anti Static Polyimide Tapes?

Anti Static Polyimide Tapes are high-performance masking materials manufactured from polyimide film with specialised anti-static coatings that minimise electrostatic discharge buildup. These tapes feature a translucent amber appearance with silicone adhesive backing designed to provide reliable ESD protection in environments where static control is essential. The anti-static treatment ensures low charge generation during unwinding and removal making them indispensable for cleanroom operations and sensitive electronic manufacturing processes.

Key Features:

• Manufactured from high-grade anti-static polyimide film with ESD protection
• Temperature resistance up to 260°C continuous operation with excellent thermal stability
• Heat-resistant silicone adhesive backing for clean removal without residue
• Low electrostatic discharge properties prevent component damage during handling
• Excellent electrical insulation combined with static dissipative properties
• Chemical resistance to solvents and industrial cleaning agents
• Available in widths from 3.2mm to 250mm with custom sizes upon request
• Conformable design follows complex PCB layouts and component geometries

Key Applications and Industries

In the UK market Anti Static Polyimide Tape serves critical functions in electronics manufacturing and assembly operations where ESD protection is paramount. PCB manufacturing facilities utilise it extensively for wave soldering masking connector protection and circuit board assembly. Semiconductor production lines depend on it for wafer processing and die bonding applications. Electronics repair and rework centres use it for component protection during soldering operations. Additionally aerospace and automotive electronics manufacturers rely on it for high-reliability applications where both thermal resistance and static protection are required.
