Cover Tape
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
What is cover tape?
Cover tape is a strip material used for SMD packaging of electronic products, often used in conjunction with carrier tape.
It is essentially a TPO film. Cover tapes manufactured by Tongxi are suitable for polystyrene and polycarbonate carrier tapes. These pressure sensitive cover tapes are resealable and highly transparent. The transparent cover tape facilitates inspection of the assembly and the antistatic properties eliminate any tearing during removal of the cover tape from the carrier reel. Other widths are available upon request. Please contact us for more information.

Problems and Solutions
1. Problem: Inconsistent Tape Widths
The standard widths of cover tapes may not fit all carrier tapes, causing compatibility issues. Solution: Our cover tapes are available in various widths, including 9.3MM, 13.3MM, 21.3MM, 25.5MM, and 49.5MM, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of carrier tapes.
2. Problem: Poor Adhesion Quality
Some cover tapes may not provide sufficient adhesion, leading to loose seals and potential contamination. Solution: Our cover tapes are available in both heat sealable (HAS) and pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) types, providing reliable sealing performance for different applications.
3. Problem: Limited Material Options
Certain applications may require specific material types for cover tapes, but options are often limited. Solution: Our cover tapes are made from high-quality PS and PET materials, offering excellent durability and protection against environmental factors like moisture and dust.
4. Problem: Difficulty in Handling and Application
Some cover tapes are difficult to apply correctly, leading to inefficiency or errors in sealing. Solution: With easy-to-use pressure-sensitive adhesives or heat sealable options, our tapes are designed for quick and efficient application, reducing the chances of errors.
Classification of cover tapes
1. Depending on the width of the matching carrier tape, there are different widths of cover tapes. Common widths are 5.3 mm (5.4 mm), 9.3 mm, 13.3 mm, 21.3 mm, 25.5 mm, 37.5 mm, etc.
2. There are three types of cover tapes according to the characteristics of the bonding between the cover tape and the carrier tape and the peeling off from the carrier tape, thermal cover tape (HAA), pressure sensitive cover tape (PSA) and the new universal cover tape (UCT).
Characteristics of the cover tapes
1. Tensile performance, will not break easily.
2. Anti-static to protect electronic components from damage.
