Red Polyester Plating Tape

Series: VRPT

Thick-adhesive red plating tape rated to 400°F

MADE IN THEU.S.A.

The VRPT series tape offers the ultimate in masking stop off for electroplating. The carrier is thin for good conformability, and it has a thick adhesive that flows well into microscopic cracks and crevices to provide superb stop off. It has a pressure-sensitive adhesive; push down to activate adhesive.

With a 1 mil polyester backing and a 3 mil modified silicone adhesive (4 mil total thickness), it is great for plating, anodizing and splicing.

Key characteristics:

  • Ideal for protecting printed circuit boards from harsh chemicals during plating.
  • Can be used in either direct immersion or fume/splash protection.
  • In stock and may be slit to any width and/or die cut to any shape.
