High-temperature tape plays a key role in many industrial fields. However, the correct pasting and removal methods are the key to ensure its performance and effect. If the operation is improper, it will not only affect the use of the tape, but also may damage the object to be pasted. Below, we will introduce you to the correct use of high-temperature tape in detail.
Paste: step by step to ensure the effect
Preparation work should be done first
Before pasting the high-temperature tape, be sure to clean the surface to be pasted. Use a clean cloth or dust-free paper to dip in an appropriate amount of alcohol or special detergent, wipe the surface carefully, and remove impurities such as oil, dust and moisture. For example, in the production of electronic equipment, if there are impurities on the surface of the circuit board, bubbles or degumming may occur after the high-temperature tape is pasted, affecting the fixing effect of the electronic components.
Precise cutting is important
According to actual needs, use a sharp knife to accurately cut the high-temperature tape. Avoid cutting too large or too small. Too large may cause waste, and too small cannot meet the pasting requirements. For example, in the automotive painting process, when masking specific parts of the car body, the precisely cut high-temperature tape can ensure the neatness of the spray paint boundary and improve the appearance of the car body.
Be careful when laminating
Align one end of the cut high-temperature tape to the pasted position, slowly and evenly laminarize, and gently press with your fingers or tools to squeeze out bubbles so that the tape is in full contact with the surface. In the pasting of aerospace parts, the meticulous operation during laminating can ensure that the high-temperature tape still plays a good protective and fixing role in extreme environments.
Removal: Pay attention to methods and reduce damage
Find the right time to remove
The timing of removing high-temperature tape is critical. Generally speaking, it should be removed as soon as possible after the tape has completed its mission. Long-term sticking may cause the adhesiveness between the tape and the adhered object to increase, increasing the difficulty of removal. For example, after the circuit board is soldered, the high-temperature tape that fixes the electronic components should be removed in time to avoid affecting subsequent testing and assembly.
Choose the right tools
Use tweezers, scrapers and other tools to assist in removing high-temperature tape. For some high-temperature tapes with strong viscosity, you can first use a hair dryer to heat them appropriately to reduce the viscosity before removing them. But pay attention to controlling the heating temperature to avoid damage to the adhered object. When removing high-temperature tape from precision instruments, you must choose the right tools and operate carefully.
Remove slowly to ensure safety
When removing high-temperature tape, apply force slowly and steadily to avoid sudden force that may cause the tape to tear or damage the adhered surface. Along the angle between the tape and the adhered object, slowly peel it off at a smaller angle to ensure that the tape is completely removed.
Correctly sticking and removing high-temperature tape is crucial to ensuring its performance and effect. Whether in the electronics, aerospace or automotive manufacturing industries, strictly following these steps will allow high temperature tape to play its maximum role and safeguard industrial production. With the continuous advancement of industrial technology, the application of high temperature tape will become more extensive, and the correct use method will become a skill that industry practitioners must master.
