Heat-Activated Cover Tape

Cost-Effective Cover Tape Solutions, From the Experts

Heat-activated cover tape (HSA) provides a versatile, cost-effective solution for secure component containment in carrier tape applications. Unlike pressure-sensitive adhesives, heat-activated adhesives remain inert until sealed, offering shelf lives up to three times longer. Adhesion strength can also be adjusted to suit various carrier base films and application needs by modifying sealing process parameters.

Advantek offers a variety of HSA cover tapes, each with unique features to meet diverse market requirements, including anti-static properties, high transparency, and halogen-free options.

Adjustable Adhesion

Adhesion strength can be precisely tuned to suit various application needs and carrier base films by adjusting sealing parameters such as temperature, pressure, and dwell time.

Compatibility

HSA cover tape is compatible with a wide range of carrier base films, making it versatile for applications in electronics, medical, automotive, and more.

Extended roll lengths

Extended roll lengths minimize production interruptions, improve efficiency, and reduce downtime by decreasing the frequency of roll changes.
