3M Circuit Plating Tape 1280 Red, 2 in x 72 yd, 4.2 mil, 24 per Case, Bulk

The 3M™ Circuit Plating Tape 1280 stands as a premier solution in the realm of circuit board manufacturing and other high-temperature applications, where precision and reliability are paramount. This specialized tape, characterized by its striking red color and robust polyester film, is engineered to address the unique challenges faced by professionals in the electronics industry. Its design is a testament to 3M's commitment to innovation, safety, and efficiency, incorporating features that ensure high performance under demanding conditions.

• Exceptional Material Integrity: Crafted from a low stretch polyester film, the tape is designed for both machine and hand application, providing stability and precision alignment without compromising the tape's positioning.
• Solvent Compatibility: The recommendation for solvent cleanup of the board before soldering underscores the tape's compatibility with standard electronic manufacturing processes, ensuring that the tape does not interfere with subsequent soldering operations.
• Enhanced Precision: The polyester backing is specifically chosen to minimize stretch and recovery, which could lead to uneven stop-off lines, thereby enhancing the accuracy of plating and masking operations.
• Advanced Adhesive Formulation: A thick adhesive coating on the tape effectively blocks out solutions between circuit board fingers, reducing the risk of undercutting and ensuring a crisp, clean finish.
• Eco-Friendly Core: Featuring a polyethylene tape core instead of the traditional cardboard, this product not only improves durability and resistance to moisture but also aligns with 3M's commitment to sustainability.
• Halogen-Free: Complying with the IEC 61249-2-21 standard for halogen content, this tape ensures a safer, more environmentally friendly option for electronics manufacturing, limiting the presence of chlorine, bromine, and total halogens to safe levels.

Usage and Maintenance: To maximize the efficacy of the 3M™ Circuit Plating Tape 1280, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of contaminants before application. Solvent cleaning of the board prior to tape application is recommended to enhance adhesion and facilitate subsequent manufacturing processes. After use, remove the tape gently to maintain the integrity of the circuit board and prevent any adhesive residue. Store in a controlled environment to preserve the tape's physical and adhesive properties.
