Scapa Tapes North America
1801

Polyimide Silicone Adhesive Tape

Scapa 1801 is a 25 micron Kapton polyimide film single coated with a cured silicone adhesive system, and has a 67 micron total thickness. It is recommended for a variety of high temperature protection and insulation applications. It is used for masking gold contacts and protecting plug-in connectors and switches during wave soldering. Bundling and fixing components exposed to high temperatures. For electrical insulation of coils, transformers, wires, and cables for Class H applications. Ideal for masking of PCB gold fingers and protecting plug-in connectors and switches during wave soldering, high-temperature masking, bundling and fixing components (thermo switches) exposed to high temperatures and for electrical insulation of coils, transformers, wires and cables for class H (180°C) applications.

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.

It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.

Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.

Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.
