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.
