3M 5413 Polyimide Film Tapes
3M 5413 Polyimide Film Tapes consist of DuPont Kapton polyimide backing with a silicone adhesive designed for high-temperature and electrical insulation applications. These tapes maintain dimensional stability and performance across a wide temperature range from -73°C to 260°C. The 5413 polyimide tapes provide flame, chemical, and radiation resistance, making them suitable for use in demanding environments. 3M 5413 polyimide film tapes are commonly used for PCB solder masking and as a release surface in parts cured at elevated temperatures.

My boss ordered a whole case of the cheap polyimide tape once. I told him it was only good for taping him to his chair. He laughed. I didn’t. The next day I had a new case of 3M 5413 tape. It consists of a proper DuPont Kapton polyimide film and a silicone adhesive. Together, these provide excellent dimensional stability at temperatures up to 260°C, so the tape doesn’t shrink or warp during soldering. It also doesn’t get soft, providing an excellent release surface with little to no adhesive residue to minimize cleaning and increase productivity. It’s available with widths from 0.25" to 0.625" and has a 7000V dielectric strength for use as insulation if you have some wires or boards that might get too close. One final touch is the polyethylene tape core that won’t deform like a cardboard core, ensuring smooth rolling down to the last strip.
