Polyimide · Kapton-type tape
Silicone-adhesive polyimide tape and bare polyimide film for wave-solder masking, motor winding insulation and battery fixing. Single-side, double-side and film, supplied from Toronto across Canada.
Polyimide film keeps its strength and its electrical insulation at temperatures where PET and most other films fail. Paired with a silicone adhesive it becomes the standard masking and insulating tape on soldering lines and in motors and battery packs.
ETS supplies it three ways: single-side tape for masking and insulating, double-sided tape for bonding components under heat, and bare film in a 12–125µm thickness range for converting and winding.
Silicone adhesive on polyimide film — the standard for PCB wave-soldering masks, motor winding insulation, and battery tab fixing.
Double-side high-performance silicone adhesive on a polyimide backing — built for component and battery bonding under sustained heat.
Excellent heat and chemical resistance for electronic circuit masking, battery insulation, and aerospace applications. 12–125µm thickness range.

| Polyimide film | AHS-910x | 300°C | 350°C | 12–125µm; amber / black; electronic masking, battery insulation, aerospace |
Temperatures are typical values from the manufacturer’s data. Confirm against the datasheet for your process before you buy — we send it with your quote. Kapton is a registered trademark of DuPont. ETS polyimide tape is not DuPont-branded; “Kapton-type” describes the film type only.
Use single-side tape when you need to mask or wrap and then peel it off clean, or to leave insulation in place. Use double-sided tape to bond parts under heat. Use film when you are converting it yourself or need specific thickness.

Polyimide tape is a heat-resistant film with a silicone adhesive. “Kapton” is DuPont’s brand name for its polyimide film; ETS supplies Kapton-type polyimide tape that is not DuPont-branded.
Our single- and double-sided tapes are rated 260°C continuous and 300°C short-term. The bare film is rated 300°C continuous and 350°C short-term. Confirm against the datasheet for your process.
Yes — single-side polyimide tape with silicone adhesive is a standard choice for masking during wave soldering. Tell us your solder temperature and dwell time and we will confirm the grade.
Yes. We quote custom slitting and die-cut shapes. Send a drawing or a sample part.
