C-PAK TYPE CP36 COVER TAPE

 

C-PAK TYPE CP36 cover tape is a transparent polyester film with static dissipative properties on both sides and heat sealable over a wide range of temperatures, thus making it immensely suitable for different materials of carrier tape.

 

The adhesive system is specially developed for tight range in seal strength, as an addition to its stable seal strength.

 

Construction:      0.016 mm Polyester film

                              0.034 mm Inner Layer

                              0.002 mm Sealant Hot Melt Layer

Sealing time: 0.3 sec

Pressure: 30 psi

Sealing Mode: Reciprocating

Peel Test Speed during peeling: 300mm +/- 10mm per minute

Notes:

1.      The recommended sealing parameters are based on embossed Cpak’s carrier tape material made of Polystyrene.   The sealing parameters for other compatible carrier tape materials are available upon request.

 

2.      Positioning the seal bead away from the slit edge of cover tape will keep adhesive from being forced out from the edge.   Seal bead should remain away from the edge of tape to minimize potential breakage of the film.   Use of a narrow seal width (0.015” – 0.020”) gives more control over the position in which the seal is placed relative to the carrier tape pocket, sprocket holes and slit edge of the cover tape.
