PEEK Tape with silicone or acrylic adhesive
PEEK Tape is composed of two high performance materials: high temperature, chemical resistant, abrasion and wear resistant PEEK™ Film (002" to .010" thick) and 3M™ specialty adhesives (nominal adhesive thickness of .0015 to .002") in silicone adhesive (rated up to 500°F), acrylic adhesive (High tack-High Bond) or 5 mil. conductive filled acrylic adhesive (ideal for EMI/RFI shielding applications). Utilizing our in-house lamination services, we can produce PEEK Tape with a specialty adhesive fastening system to meet the requirements of your application and utilize PEEK polymer performance properties.
When compared to Teflon™ PTFE tapes, PEEK tape exhibits a much higher tensile strength (18.9 kpsi / 130 MPa), making it a tougher, stronger material with better wear performance, and a lower density. When compared to Kapton® Polyimide tape, PEEK tape has lower moisture absorption (.04%/24 hr.), a higher tear strength (35g/mil.), making it a better performance option for barrier protection applications in hot/humid environments. The acrylic adhesive (37-A Series) laminated to PEEK™ film also distributes humidity, UV, and water resistance if applied correctly.
PEEK film can meet a variety of aerospace, automotive, food/water (FDA 21 CFR 177.2415), medical/pharmaceutical, and military/nuclear approvals, and standards.
37-A PEEK Tape (Acrylic Adhesive):
- Excellent bond to low surface energy plastics such as, polypropylene and powder coatings.
- Excellent adhesion to lightly oiled surfaces typical of machine parts.
Temperature Resistance:
- usable for short periods (minutes, hours) at temperatures up to 300°F (148°C)
- intermittent longer periods of time (days, weeks) up to 200°F (93°C).
37-A-9712 PEEK Tape (Conductive Filled Acrylic Adhesive):
- Performance acrylic electrical adhesive loaded with conductive fibers
- Ideal for attaching EMI shields to electronic and electrical devices.
- Compared to mechanical fastening like screws or bolts, 3M® 9712 adhesive provides reduced assembly time and a solid bond line with no gaps which might result in EMI Emission.
Temperature resistance:
- Short Term Exposure (minutes hours): 250°F (121°C)
- Long Term Exposure (days, weeks): 158°F (70°C)
37-S PEEK Tape (Silicone Adhesive):
- Silicone Adhesive provide high bond strength to most silicones and difficult-to-bond to substrates like stainless steel or silicone, including many low surface energy plastics ex. Polycarbonate.
- Superior Temperature Performance
- Recommended for applications that require tape to be removable.
Maximum Temperature Resistance: up to 500°F (260°C)
