Tapes To Use During The Process For Plating

Selecting the correct adhesive based tape can be a difficult job. Each tape has its unique traits making it the most special and appropriate for different processes ordering for decorative purposes to the plating of the powder coating. Based on the usage, a single tape may be a little different from the other and work better for you while others for not. To keep it short, below are some of the tapes which are used for plating.

In this entire list, I have compiled multiple and different tapes and have completely narrated their purposes and abilities, so you can quickly select the best one for your purposes. Always remember to ponder some of the options before selecting the best adhesive tape for plating:

1) RED POLY PLATING:
This tape is best used for plating. With an approximated thickness of about 4 mils, red poly plating tape has a double adhesive which is mostly used for leaks and undercutting. The tape is best used for masking reprinted wiring boards during the process of solder disrobing and different valuable metal plating of the fingers. There are a couple of other tapes similar to the red poly plating tapes that work in a similar manner. These tapes are as follows:
2) ADHESIVE VINYL:
Adhesive based vinyl is the most suitable tape for plating reasons. With a total thickness of about six miles, adhesive vinyl is enriched with improved thickness and an adhesive that aids a mind-blowing moisture barrier and vapor.

3) GREEN POLY:
If you ask me, this tape is the most popular among all the adhesives for plating. Green poly tape is regarded as a go-to for plating and is considered as the most suitable purpose for providing effective plating solution.

4) LEAD FOIL:
Lead foil tape is best used when it’s interacted with grinding chemicals. The tape is comprised of the frequency for radio along with electromagnetic and conforms and bonds decently on surfaces both outdoor and indoor. Tapes that have the similar traits like lead foil are:


5) NON-ADHESIVE VINYL:
With a total thickness of about 3.5 to 4.0 approx. Non-Adhesive vinyl tape is the most influential alternative to the adhesive vinyl tape. This adhesive based tape extends to make a firm liquid seal around the parts and racks, and is the most easily removed and placed without leaving any residue behind.

6) ALUMINUM FOIL:
This type of adhesive based tape works well when contracting with dangerous chemicals. Aluminum tape assists in providing the protection from air leaks and waterproofing. It has the capability to bond and conform extremely well to misshaped surfaces.

Having said that, again, each of these tapes has different traits, and purposes and not all of them will be able to help you out matching your needs.  Some of the tapes are similar to the aluminum foil, their purposes and uses may vary but they also share the same characteristics. These tapes are:
