iFixit EU145113-2 polyimide electrical repair tape, 32 m x 12.7 mm

Polyimide tape is a high-temperature, low-outgassing adhesive film used in electronics and precision assemblies. It offers excellent thermal stability, good thermal conductivity and low electromagnetic/radiation interference, making it suitable for electrical insulation and masking in processes such as wave soldering and powder coating. This tape is compatible with common Kapton® polyimide tapes and is offered in a long 108-foot roll that matches the 0.5" width frequently used in repairs and electronics manufacturing.

Advantages

The tape provides high temperature resistance and low outgassing, ensuring stability in demanding thermal and vacuum environments. It exhibits good dielectric properties for electrical insulation and low interference in radiation-sensitive applications. The long roll length and standard 0.5" width reduce the need for frequent replacements and support multiple uses.

Suitable for

• Masking during wave soldering and powder coating
• Electrical insulation in X-ray and radiation-prone equipment
• General electronics assembly and repair, including Apple device repairs
• High-temperature applications where low outgassing is required

Key specifications

• Material: Polyimide (Kapton-compatible)
• Width: 0.5" (matches common 0.5" tapes)
• Length: 108 ft (approx. 32.9 m)
• Properties: High temperature resistance, low outgassing, low radiation/electromagnetic interference

How to use

Cut the required length from the roll and apply the tape to clean, dry surfaces. Use the tape for masking during soldering or coating processes, or to insulate and protect electrical components. Ensure good adhesion by pressing the tape firmly along edges; for long-term applications, verify compatibility with the substrate and operating temperature range.

Recommendations

Store the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Test adhesion on a small area before extended use and avoid exposure beyond the tape's rated temperature limits to maintain performance.
