Rapidstick™ Polyimide Adhesive Tape, made from polyimide film and a cross-linked silicone adhesive, is a flame and heat resistant high temperature tape designed for both permanent and temporary bonding. It is suitable for wide variety of applications in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing industries, including 3D printing, fibre optics, semi-conductors, smart cards, and solar panels. It can withstand high temperature powder coating and anodising operations, features an exceptionally thin backing that leaves no residue or stain upon removal, and resists punctures, abrasion, and tearing – but can be trimmed easily with a sharp razor blade.
Polyimide Adhesive Tape is ideal for electrical and thermal insulation in demanding electrical and electronic environments, effectively used in hand soldering and mass soldering applications, including wave soldering. Common uses in these industries include:
• Adhering ABS and PLA to heat beds
• Temporary securing of components
• Wire and cable wrapping
• Masking gold contacts during soldering
• Preventing unwanted electrical connections
• Insulating coil from high temperatures
Polyimide Adhesive Tape is high performing with excellent solvent, acid, and oil resistance, minimal shrinkage after baking, high vibration resistance, and unique mechanical properties such as a wide temperature range (-75°C to 260°C) and high dielectric strength.
Pure aluminium foil coated with an aggressive high tack acrylic adhesive suitable for a wide variety of sealing applications.
Applications:
– HVAC applications
– Joining & sealing around vapour barriers of HVAC duct work & refrigeration units
– Joining aluminium laminated insulation panels, sleeves or other insulation materials
– Vapour seal/moisture & insect barrier tape
– Skylight duct sealing
Rapidstick™ Pipe Repair Bandage Kit is an easy to use, heavy-duty emergency kit that allows for the quick and effective permanent repair of damaged pipes requiring fast reinforcement to stop sudden leaks, cracks, or bursts. It is an essential kit for both plumbing repair specialists and DIY enthusiasts alike, and can be used to fix leaks in domestic systems, or for larger industrial pipelines. Being high performing and using high grade materials, it serves a dual purpose – for use as a temporary measure when immediate stop-leak fixes are required, or for long term peace of mind it can remain in place without needing further attention.
Providing an instant seal that prevents further leakage, minimises downtime, and halts potentially excessive damage, the strong and flexible highly durable bandage is made from corrosion-resistant material and can withstand high pressure and extreme temperatures. After cure, it is resistant to a wide range of diluted chemicals and fuels, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and oils, ensuring compatibility with different pipe systems.
The 3-piece water activated kit includes all the necessary components for a straightforward application. It can be used on various types of pipes, including metal, plastic, and rubber, with diameters ranging from small household pipes to larger industrial or commercial lines. When applied correctly the bandage forms a permanent long-lasting seal, offering a reliable solution until proper repairs can be implemented.
Hydrolube Heavy Duty Plumber’s Fix PTFE Thread Seal Tape is a heavy duty high density tape of 1.2g/cm3 for use in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial applications. Made of 100% virgin PTFE material, it offers excellent chemical resistance to most common chemicals and is ideal for sealing threaded pipe connections between 12.7mm (1/2 inch) and 50.8mm (2 inches) in diameter.
Withstanding extreme operating temperatures between -268oC and +260oC, the distinctive pink colour of the tape provides a visual indication to signify its suitability for various threaded connections in potable water applications.
Meets Military Specification: MIL-T-27730 (Polytetrafluorethylene Tape for use on Liquid and Gaseous Oxygen Systems)
PTFE is a polytetrafluoroethylene tape commonly used in plumbing applications for sealing pipe threads. It lubricates, allowing for a deeper seating of the threads, thereby helping to prevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed. The tape also works as a deformable filler and thread lubricant, helping to seal the joint without hardening or making it more difficult to tighten – instead, making it easier to tighten.
PTFE Thread Seal Tape is commonly used commercially in applications including pressurised water systems, central heating systems, and air compression equipment. It is designed for use on tapered/pipe threads where the sealing force is a wedge action, to ensure the most effective seal for the transport of liquids, gases, steam, and hydraulic fluid through pipes made from materials such as steel, brass, PTFE, nylon, bronze, and cast iron. Tapered threads form a seal when torqued as the flanks of the threads compress against each other, as opposed to parallel/straight thread fittings or compression fittings in which the threads merely hold the pieces together and do not provide the seal.
Tapered threads provide the mechanical strength, however, the main disadvantage is that voids in the connection can still remain once the mating threads are drawn together, resulting in the potential for leakage and galling, especially since there is no other sealing mechanism besides the thread themselves. Thread seal tape is thus required to seal any spiral leak paths or voids that may exist between threads on the fitting and the port, while also limiting corrosion on the threads, which otherwise can make future disassembly nearly impossible.
