Kapton tape is a type of polyimide film tape known for its high heat resistance and electrical insulation properties. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -269°C to 400°C, making it ideal for use in various applications, including electronics, aerospace, and automotive industries. This tape is often used to mask off areas during soldering or painting, as it can protect surfaces from heat and chemicals. Its excellent adhesion and durability also make it suitable for use in 3D printing, where it helps with bed adhesion for certain types of filament.
