ABx Cover Tape
Advantek’s ABx™ Cover tape is a high-quality, heat-activated, static dissipative cover tape. It was developed to reduce the tendency to bond to areas other than the seal tracks. This condition is known as ‘wetting‘ – which causes unpredictable or unstable peel force; as well as visual concerns.
- Formulated to minimize wetting
- Suitable for any heat taping application
- Complies with EIA-481 standards
- Proven to perform with Advantek Carrier Tapes:
- Tri-lam Polystyrene materials: C, D, X, V, T, I & J
- Homogenous Polystyrene material: P
