Industrial heat and electricity generators need a sturdy, gap-free connection between their parts to ensure proper conduction with a low risk of shocking. Many electricians will use 3M double sided adhesive tape to create a strong, adjustable seal around conductive components. It is a flexible adhesive material that functions as a customizable adhesive, conductor, and insulator that is easy to apply and adjust.
Flexibility
The flexibility of 3M double sided adhesive tape makes it a prime alternative to traditional adhesives and conductors. It comes in a variety of sizes that can be die-cut to fit the specific size of each part. When attaching the parts, it creates a strong seal between flexible and rigid materials with a small amount of pressure. If a part needs to be adjusted, cleaned, or replaced, simply remove the tape to disconnect the part from the rest of the unit. Once a replacement has arrived or the part has been fixed, simply reconnect the component with a new strip of tape.
Durability
With its ability to withstand over sixty pounds of torque and high voltages, 3M double sided adhesive tape will create a lasting seal around a variety of different conductive materials. When wrapped around the heat generator and the cooling component, the tape creates a heat transfer pathway between the two elements. The temperature between the two will regulate in an insulated environment. The tape’s thickness can be adjusted at a machining facility to adjust the amount of insulation needed for different parts.
The tape creates a gapless seal to prevent any heat from escaping during transfer. Fewer gaps creates the need for fewer carrier units throughout the heating system, which improves overall thermal performance. The pressure-based adhesive connects individual parts better than other adherents, performing better in wet-out situations and reducing the overall chance of shocking.
Convenient Adhesive Solution
Using adhesive tapes is a more convenient alternative to traditional adhesives. It is simple to cut, easy to apply, and customizable for many different products. It will improve the quality and performance of your heating and electrical units, making them safer and more efficient.
