3M Introduces Universal Cover Tape Solution for Electrical and Electronic Component Manufacturers.


AUSTIN, Texas -- 3M now offers a cover tape solution that is compatible with all equipment and carrier tapes, allowing electrical and electronic component manufacturers to protect their products with a single solution.

Unlike previously available cover tapes, 3M brand Universal Cover Tape provides solutions to component manufacturers and end users for packaging electronic and electrical components in tape and reel. The cover tape provides optimal performance regardless of width, carrier material and equipment while improving product protection and reducing adhesive adhesive, substance capable of sticking to surfaces of other substances and bonding them to one another. The term adhesive cement is sometimes used in place of adhesive, especially when referring to a synthetic adhesive.  transfer.

The tape's pressure-sensitive adhesive creates a strong bond to polycarbonate A category of plastic materials used to make a myriad of products, including CDs and CD-ROMs. , polystyrene polystyrene (pŏl'ēstī`rēn), widely used plastic; it is a polymer of styrene. Polystyrene is a colorless, transparent thermoplastic that softens slightly above 100°C; (212°F;) and becomes a viscous liquid at around 185°C;  and paper carriers, eliminating the need for manufacturers to stock multiple cover tapes. The tape minimizes the necessity for stringent control and monitoring at taping stations, and decreases operator error.

For end users, the cover tape provides superior component placement during cover tape de-taping applications in feeders. Instead of removing the entire width of the cover tape from the carrier, 3M universal cover tape allows removal of the middle portion above the component pockets while adhesive edges remain adhered to the carrier, providing a smooth, consistent peel. This design reduces risk of component migration, flipping, vibration and chip sticking.
