Electronic Masking Tapes

Advanced Silicone PSAs: Essential for Electronic Masking

SilGrip™ silicone pressure sensitive adhesives, widely recognized as platers tape for electronic masking applications, play a crucial role in manufacturing printed circuit boards. They are utilized in processes like hot air leveling, gold plating of circuit board fingers, and tin/lead stripping. SilGrip silicone PSAs are known for their strong adhesion to diverse surfaces and excellent resistance to high temperature shear.

Key Features and Benefits of Silicone Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs)

  • Conforms easily to irregular surfaces.
  • No lifting at elevated temperatures
  • Clean removal without residue
  • Resistant to solvents and chemicals for robust processing
  • Protects against solution undercutting
  • Excellent resistance to solder heat, gold plating, and hot air leveling
  • Low defect rates ensure high reliability
  • Maintains consistent solid, masked lines
 

Typical Applications of Silicone Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs)

  • Hot air leveling
  • Gold plating of circuit board fingers
