3M 5413 Kapton Adhesive Tape Polyimide Tape
Length: 33m
Kapton adhesive tape is a special masking tape resistant to high temperatures. Can withstand temperatures of up to 370 °C for short periods and 260 °C permanently. Especially suitable for masking printed circuit boards or during the wave soldering or reflow process. Ideally suited for powder coating and paint masking. Thanks to its transparency, exact positioning is possible, the edges do not rise and can be removed without leaving any residue. Thanks to its semi-transparent shiny gold colour, it has countless application possibilities. Kapton tape is specially designed for high temperatures and is used with 3D printers, or to protect circuit parts and components when welding with hot air, it serves to prevent parts of the circuit from being accidentally damaged outside the work area. Suitable for insulating cables that need to be protected and withstand high temperatures.

Processing and storage information
Surface condition
The surfaces must be dry, free of dust, oil, oxides, release agents and other contaminants.
Surface cleaning
The following cleaning agents, for example, can be used to remove dust, oil, release agents and other impurities:
- Isopropanol/water 50/50
- Heptane or ethanol
- Acetone or MEK
- Suitable other cleaning agents that do not leave any residues and do not attack the substrate.
Temperature
The most favourable processing temperature (object and ambient temperature) is between +15°C and +25°C.
Pressure
The strength of the bond is directly dependent on the contact that the adhesive has with the surfaces to be bonded. A short, high pressure (e.g. with a squeegee, pressure roller or pressure device, etc.) ensures good surface contact. The type and amount of pressure depends on the material (thin- or thick-walled, etc.) and the geometry of the components. Rule of thumb: approx. 20 N/cm².
Storage
The rolls should be stored in their packaging protected from light at a temperature between +15°C and +25°C and a relative humidity of 50%.
