Introduction
In industrial production, surface treatment processes such as powder coating, baking paint, and electroplating are important links to improve the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetic degree of workpiece surfaces. However, these processes are usually carried out at high temperatures, and the non-processing areas of the workpiece need to be effectively protected to prevent coating, paint, or electroplating solution from adhering to these areas and affecting the product quality and precision. PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) high temperature tape, as a special adhesive tape with high temperature resistance and good protective performance, has become the first choice for protective materials in these high-temperature surface treatment processes. Hunan Lvzhimei New Material Technology Co., Ltd., with its rich experience in the adhesive product industry and advanced production technology, has developed a series of PET high temperature tapes with excellent performance, which are widely used in automobile manufacturing, hardware processing, electronic equipment, and other industries. This article will comprehensively analyze the performance characteristics, application scenarios, and corporate advantages of Lvzhimei’s PET high temperature tape, providing a reference for enterprises to select suitable protective materials for high-temperature surface treatment processes.
Core Performance Characteristics
Reliable High Temperature Resistance
Lvzhimei’s PET high temperature tape is made of high-quality PET film as the base material and matched with high-performance acrylic or silicone adhesive, which has excellent high temperature resistance. The tape can withstand a long-term use temperature of 200°C and a short-term high temperature of up to 260°C, and remains intact without degumming, deformation, or discoloration during the high-temperature baking and curing process of powder coating and baking paint. Its stable performance at high temperature ensures that the protective layer is not damaged, effectively preventing the coating and paint from adhering to the non-processing areas of the workpiece and ensuring the precision of the workpiece surface treatment.
Strong Adhesion and No Residue
The tape adopts a special adhesive formula, which has high initial adhesion and holding power, and can be firmly attached to various workpiece surfaces such as metal, plastic, and glass, even on uneven surfaces, it can maintain good adhesion and prevent edge warping and falling off during high-temperature processing. At the same time, after the surface treatment process is completed, the tape can be easily peeled off without leaving any adhesive residue on the workpiece surface, avoiding the secondary cleaning process and improving production efficiency. This no-residue characteristic is particularly important for high-precision workpieces, as it can ensure the surface cleanliness and precision of the workpiece without affecting the subsequent assembly and use of the product.
Excellent Electrical Insulation and Chemical Resistance
As a high-performance insulating material, the PET base material has good electrical insulation performance, making the tape suitable for the surface protection of electronic components and electrical equipment during high-temperature coating and plating processes, effectively isolating current and preventing electrical interference and short circuits. The tape also has strong chemical resistance, can resist the erosion of weak acids, weak alkalis, and various organic solvents used in the surface treatment process, such as thinners and cleaning agents, ensuring the integrity of the protective layer and the stable performance of the tape during the production process.
Good Softness and Conformability
The tape has good softness and conformability, can be closely attached to the surface of workpieces with complex shapes such as curved surfaces and corners, and can be easily bent and pasted without cracking or degumming. This characteristic makes the tape suitable for the surface protection of various irregular workpieces, such as auto parts, hardware accessories, and electronic product shells, effectively protecting every non-processing area of the workpiece and improving the overall protection effect.
Diverse Color and Thickness Options
Lvzhimei’s PET high temperature tape provides a variety of color options, including light green, grass green, dark green, dark green, yellow, blue, sky blue, black, transparent, etc., which can be selected according to the different colors of the workpiece and the production process requirements. The thickness of the tape ranges from 0.055mm to 0.13mm, including 0.055mm, 0.060mm, 0.070mm, 0.080mm, 0.10mm, 0.12mm, 0.13mm and other specifications, which can be matched according to the different protection requirements of the workpiece, realizing the precise protection of the workpiece.
Technical Parameters and Product Customization
Standard Technical Parameters
The standard PET high temperature tape of Lvzhimei has a total thickness tolerance of ±0.002mm, and the base film thickness is 0.025mm. The adhesion strength is 8±0.5N/25mm, the tensile strength is 135N/25mm, and the elongation is 70%, which has good mechanical properties and can withstand a certain degree of mechanical tension during the production process without breaking. The tape can withstand 210°C for 30 minutes without leaving adhesive residue, fully meeting the requirements of various high-temperature surface treatment processes. The standard roll length is 33m or 50m, and the width can be cut into various specifications from 5mm to 1020mm with high precision to adapt to different workpiece sizes and production line requirements.

In addition, the company also supports the customization of special packaging such as small rolls and die-cutting sheets to meet the different use habits and production line configurations of customers.
Application in High-Temperature Surface Treatment Processes
Powder Coating Process
In the powder coating process, the tape is widely used for the protection of threaded holes, positioning holes, and non-coating areas of workpieces such as auto parts, hardware furniture, and electrical equipment shells. It can effectively prevent the powder coating from adhering to these areas, ensure the smoothness and precision of the holes and the surface of non-coating areas, and avoid the trouble of post-processing such as grinding and cleaning. The high temperature resistance of the tape ensures that it remains intact during the high-temperature curing process of the powder coating (usually 180°C-220°C), and the no-residue characteristic ensures that the protected area is clean and tidy after peeling off the tape.
Baking Paint Process
In the baking paint process of metal workpieces such as automobile bodies, motorcycle parts, and hardware accessories, the tape is used for the protection of window frames, door edges, and non-paint areas. It can resist the high temperature of the baking paint process (usually 150°C-200°C), prevent the paint from adhering to the protected area, and ensure the clear boundary of the paint surface and the aesthetic degree of the product. The good conformability of the tape can be closely attached to the curved surface and corner of the workpiece, realizing the full protection of the non-paint area and avoiding the paint bleeding phenomenon.
Electroplating Process
In the electroplating process of metal workpieces such as electronic components, hardware accessories, and precision machinery parts, the tape is used for the protection of non-electroplating areas. It can resist the erosion of electroplating solution and cleaning agents, prevent the electroplating solution from depositing on the non-electroplating area, and ensure the precision and uniformity of the electroplating layer. The electrical insulation performance of the tape can also prevent the current from passing through the protected area, ensuring the normal progress of the electroplating process and the quality of the electroplating layer.
Other High-Temperature Processes
In addition to the above core processes, the tape is also widely used in other high-temperature processes such as thermal transfer printing, hot stamping, and plastic molding. In the thermal transfer printing process, it is used for the positioning and protection of the transfer film; in the hot stamping process, it is used for the protection of non-hot stamping areas; in the plastic molding process, it is used for the surface protection of the mold and the workpiece, preventing the plastic from adhering to the mold and ensuring the surface finish of the plastic product.
