Satisfying the Demand for Pressure Sensitive Tapes
APTIV® films, made with VICTREX® PEEK™ polymer, are one of the highest performing films in the world and used by Berry Plastics as the tape backing material for its line of high performance pressure sensitive tapes. APTIV film has an excellent range of properties that allow it to compete with polyimide, PEI and PTFE tapes. Two specially developed high temperature performing adhesive systems are available as the family of APTIV film high performance pressure sensitive tapes – an acrylic- and silicone-based adhesive.
Both families of high performance APTIV film pressure sensitive adhesive tapes are available in 25, 50, and 125 µM (1.0, 2.0 & 5.0 mil) backing thickness, in a range of widths. Their dynamic mix of properties makes them well suited for a wide variety of application areas including electrical, semiconductor, automotive, aerospace, energy, industrial, lighting and batteries.
APTIV film is a good fit as a high performance tape backing material due to the inherent properties of VICTREX PEEK polymer. APTIV film properties include high temperature performance, excellent chemical, abrasion, and wear resistance, excellent mechanical and barrier properties, and radiation resistant. APTIV films are also FDA compliant, inherently halogen free, high purity, and as a thermoplastic are recyclable and comply with RoHS. Able to withstand the higher processing temperature required when using lead free solders, APTIV film provides an excellent material for use as a masking material in electrical applications.
Benefits of Silicone and Acrylic Tape Made with Victrex APTIV films
- Electrical Properties
- Chemical Resistance
- Hydrolysis Resistance
- High Temperature Resistance
- Wear Resistance
- Radiation Resistance
APTIV® film compared to Polyimide PI
- Lower Moisture Adsorption
– moisture can adversely affect electrical properties & make parts susceptible to thermal shock - Chemical resistance
- crystalline APTIV film offers better performance in strong alkaline environments than polyimide - Crystalline APTIV film has comparable physical, electrical & thermal aging properties to polyimide
APTIV® film compared to PTFE
- Increased tensile strength and modulus
- Increased wear and creep resistance
- Lower density than PTFE (Weight reduction, efficiency savings)
