3M 7100007737 | 5413 36 yd x 1.000" Width x 2.7 mil Thickness Polyimide Film Tape

Description

The 3M 7100007737 polyimide film tape 5413 is a high-performance polyimide tape made for demanding high-temperature masking and protection tasks such as PCB solder masking and wave-solder prevention. Constructed from DuPont Kapton polyimide film with a silicone adhesive system, the tape maintains dimensional stability at elevated temperatures, resists chemical attack, and will not soften under soldering or thermal cycle conditions, features that reduce rework and support consistent process yield. The film’s flame-retardant and radiation-resistant properties provide added surface protection in electronics assembly, while the silicone adhesive minimizes adhesive transfer and residue removal, enabling higher throughput and simpler cleaning. Supplied in a precision film format, this 3M Kapton tape is specified where predictable thermal performance, low outgassing, and reliable release under elevated temperatures are essential for production and repair operations.

Product Features and Benefits

DuPont Kapton polyimide film for thermal stability

Kapton film does not soften at high temperatures, providing a reliable release surface during soldering and thermal processing without dimensional distortion.

Silicone adhesive for high-temperature performance

The 3M polyimide film tape 5413 has a silicone adhesive system that prevents adhesive transfer at high temperatures and reduces post-process cleaning when compared to standard adhesives.

Excellent chemical, flame and radiation resistance

The Dupont Kapton tape has a chemical and flame-resistant film that shields substrates from solvent exposure and heat, extending component life in harsh conditions.

Dimensionally stable for precision masking

The 3M Kapton tape has a stable film that prevents lift or creep during thermal cycles, enabling accurate masking for PCB soldering and consistent production results.

Available on multiple core types

Supplied on cardboard or polyethylene cores to suit automated dispensers or manual handling, reducing changeover time on the shop floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kapton tape?

Kapton tape is a polyimide film tape used for high-temperature masking and electrical insulation in electronics and thermal processes.

What is Kapton tape used for?

PCB solder masking, wave-solder protection, heat shielding, wire harness insulation, and high-temperature masking are some of the most common applications.

What are the double-sided Kapton tape options?

This product uses a silicone adhesive designed for high-temp stability; double-sided Kapton-type tapes exist but are a specialized variant for bonding at temperature.

Where to buy Kapton tape?

Buy from authorized industrial distributors and electronics suppliers; the 3M 7100007737 product uses DuPont Kapton polyimide film for proven performance.
