High - temperature tapes have various applications in the automotive manufacturing field:
When painting the car body, high - temperature masking tape can accurately mask parts such as windows, headlights, door handles, and body logos. This prevents paint mist from splashing onto these areas during the painting process, ensuring that the car body paint is even and smooth, avoiding unwanted paint marks, and enhancing the overall aesthetic appearance of the car. Moreover, after the painting is completed, the tape can be easily peeled off without leaving any adhesive residue, causing no damage or contamination to the car body surface.
For some edge parts of the car body that require special treatment or have specific requirements, such as door edges and hood edges, high - temperature tape can be used for pasting and protection. During the painting process, it can prevent excessive paint build - up on the edges, ensuring smooth lines and uniform thickness at the edges. At the same time, it can also prevent the paint on the edges from being scratched during the subsequent assembly process.
When the engine is running, it generates high temperature and strong current. High - temperature tapes can be used to insulate and wrap components such as wire harnesses and sensors inside the engine. For example, KAPTON high - temperature tape has excellent insulation performance and high - temperature resistance, which can effectively prevent short - circuits between wires, protect sensors from high temperature and electromagnetic interference, and ensure the stable operation of the engine's electrical system.
At the joints of some engine components, high - temperature tapes can play an auxiliary sealing role, preventing the leakage of lubricating oil, coolant, etc. At the same time, for some metal components exposed to high - temperature environments, high - temperature tapes can prevent their surfaces from rusting and corroding, extending the service life of the components.
During the engine assembly process, it is necessary to temporarily fix some small parts to facilitate subsequent assembly operations. High - temperature tape can provide appropriate adhesiveness to fix the parts in the correct positions. After the assembly is completed, it can be easily removed without causing any adverse effects on the parts and the engine.
High - temperature double - sided tape is widely used in the bonding of automotive interior parts. For example, the connection between the dashboard and the center console, the fixation of the seat to the vehicle body, and the fitting of the roof lining to the vehicle frame. It can maintain good adhesive performance in an environment with large temperature variations inside the car, enabling the interior parts to be firmly installed in the corresponding positions of the vehicle body, improving the assembly quality and stability of the interior, and reducing the looseness and abnormal noises of the interior parts caused by bumps and vibrations.
Some high - temperature tapes with special properties, such as tapes with sound - insulating and buffering functions, can be used for filling and isolating between interior parts and the vehicle body. During the driving of the car, they can effectively absorb and reduce the noise generated by vibrations, improving the quietness and comfort inside the car.
There are a large number of wires and cables inside the car. To ensure that the wiring is neat and orderly and to avoid wire wear or short - circuits caused by vibrations during vehicle operation, high - temperature tapes can be used to bundle and fix the wire harnesses in specific positions on the vehicle body. It can maintain good adhesiveness and mechanical properties in a high - temperature environment, making the wiring layout reasonable and facilitating the maintenance and repair of the automotive electronic system.
When installing automotive electronic control units (ECUs), audio equipment and other electronic components, high - temperature tapes can be used to protect parts such as the interfaces and solder joints of the components. This prevents contamination by dust, moisture, etc. during the installation process. At the same time, it can also play a certain role in insulation and buffering, protecting the electronic components to work properly in the complex electrical environment of the car.
