Foil and Shielding Tapes

Product Details:

AL-50BT 3M Aluminum Foil Tape consists of an aluminum foil backing and a unique electrically conductive pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive.

• Soft aluminum foil backing
• Conductive acrylic adhesive
• Supplied on a removable liner for easy handling and die cutting UL recognized for flame retardancy per UL 510, Product category OANZ2, File 59505

Applications:
AL-50BT 3M Aluminum Foil Tape is typically used for applications requiring excellent electrical conductivity from the application substrate through the adhesive to the foil backing. Common uses include grounding and EMI shielding in equipment, components, shielded rooms, etc. 

Product Details:

1182 Tape 3M Double Sided Copper Foil Tape consists of a 1-ounce deadsoft copper foil backing that is coated on both sides with a unique electrically conductive pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive.

• Dead soft 1-ounce copper foil backing
• Conductive acrylic adhesive on both sides
• Supplied with removable liner on both sides for easy handling and die cutting

Like all 3M shielding tapes, 3M 1182 is available in standard and custom widths and lengths. Standard length is 18 yards.
• Widths from 1/4” to 23”
• Longer lengths up to several times normal length, dependent upon width.

Applications
3M 1182 is typically used to bond two surfaces together, both electrically and physically. An example would be adhering a conductive gasket to a conductive surface as part of the EMI shielding solution for an electronic enclosure.

Conductivity:
Since 3M 1182 double-sided copper tape would typically be used as an electrical path between two surfaces, its most important feature is its conductivity. Highly conductive particles in the acrylic adhesive provide a multitude of electrical paths between the application substrate and the surface of the copper foil on each side. The resistance of the conductive path through the adhesive (measured over a 1-in2 area) typically measures only a few milliohms

Product Details:

3M EMI/EMC Shielding Tapes has a 2.0-mil smooth aluminum foil backing with a conductive acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and liner. Aluminum is an alternative conductive backing material to copper.

• Dead soft 1-ounce (2.0-mil) aluminum foil backing for good shielding effectiveness and converting (slitting and die cutting).
• UL recognized flame-retardancy per UL 510 for applications needing this property.
• Conductive particles in the adhesive provides low contact resistance between the substrate and the backing to drain static charge.
• Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive has good resistance to heat, oxidation, solvents and oils.
• Removable liner makes it easy to handle and die cut complex shapes.
• There are both standard and custom roll widths and lengths to meet a variety of application needs.

Additional Information:
3M EMI/EMC Shielding Tapes has common EMI shielding 2-mil thick aluminum foil backing. Highly conductive particles in the acrylic adhesive provide a multitude of electrical paths between the application substrate and the surface of the copper foil. Acrylic adhesive has good resistance to heat, oxidation, solvents and oils. The tape is UL Recognized for flame retardancy per UL 510. This tape is designed for a variety of applications: point-to-point electrical contact, EMI/RFI shielding, grounding and static charge draining. These tapes can used in both electronic & electrical devices, shielded rooms and EMI test laboratories for prototyping, design and troubleshooting. The 1170 tape is available from 3M in log rolls (standard size of 23 inch x 18 yds or 584 mm x 16,5 m) to 3M slitter/converters. Also, 3M offers to 3M authorized distributors (and slitter/converters) various size slit rolls for resale to end users. Custom die-cut and formed parts are available from 3M slitter/converters.

3M™ Interam™ Endothermic Mat E-5A-4 provides a uniform covering that, when exposed to high temperatures, releases chemically-bound water to cool the outer surfaces of the 3Mfire wrap material and significantly retard heat transfer.
