Electronics Label Film Stands Up to Extreme Temperatures

-- Logistics Management, 2/1/2001

FLEXcon, a developer and manufacturer of pressure-sensitive films for a variety of labels, has introduced a new film for use with bar-code and serialized data labels applied to integrated circuits and electronic components.

THERMLfilm K 100 White TC-492 V-402 S50K-7 is top-coated for resistance to moisture, chemicals, and heat for top- and bottom-side printed circuit board (PCB) applications. The 1-mil white polyimide film, known as Kapton, withstands the temperature extremes of PCB manufacturing. The permanent adhesive backing withstands high temperatures while adhering to rough printed circuit board surfaces. It was tested for chemical resistance with wave solder and standard acidic solvent.

The film offers high print contrast signal (PCS) for scanning condensed bar codes and anti-static capabilities. THERMLfilm K100 White is available in 4-inch by 150-foot rolls.
