Masking Tape for Electronics
Use this tape to wrap and splice cables or to mask components while soldering. It dissipates heat and is an excellent electrical insulator.
Tape with acrylic adhesive resists solvents and chemicals, so it’s often used in labs. Tape that meets ASTM E595, a standard set by NASA, will produce almost no volatile emissions, even in a high vacuum. It's a great choice for use around your most sensitive electronics.
Tape with silicone adhesive withstands higher temperatures than tape with acrylic adhesive. It holds fast on engines, generators, and other machines that produce heat.

Antistatic Electrical Tape
A coating on this polyimide tape minimizes ESD (electrostatic discharge) when unwound from the roll and also during removal.
Use tape with acrylic adhesive where silicone contamination is a concern, such as surfaces to which you’re applying paint or other adhesives.

Protective Coatings for Circuit Boards
Shield circuit boards from flux, solder, conformal coatings, and high temperatures. Heat resistant up to 640° F, these temporary coatings are most often used to protect open through-holes and components during wave soldering. Coatings can also act as a short-term adhesive to keep parts in place when you’re soldering a two-sided SMT circuit board. An alternative to masking tapes that require cutting to shape, these gel coatings flow easily into small spaces and don’t leave a residue when removed. They’re also known as solder masks. Product regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.
Choose wash-away coatings if you use a water-based cleaning process such as a batch or in-line cleaning system. Wash-away coatings with a one-hr. overall dry time are nonflammable. They’re not completely water soluble, so they can’t be used in closed-loop cleaning systems. Coatings with a two-hr. overall dry time are completely water soluble for use in closed-loop cleaning systems. They’re slightly flammable.
Choose peel-away coatings if you use a solvent-based cleaning process or don’t clean your circuit boards. Coatings with a 15-min. overall dry time cure more evenly than peel-away coatings with a one-hr. overall dry time, so they can be applied in thick layers. They’re also nonflammable. Peel-away coatings with a one-hr. overall dry time produce low odors because they don’t contain ammonia.

Coatings for Electronics
Also known as conformal coatings, these coatings protect circuit boards and other electronics from moisture, dust, and static. They’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours of your components to cover them completely. Apply these coatings without needing a potting box or other container. You can remove them if necessary.
Acrylic and acrylic lacquer coatings are our thinnest option, so they’re the easiest to apply. They’ll also come off the easiest when you have to rework or repair your component—just use a solvent. These coatings dry in a day or less.
Silicone/acrylic coatings combine the flexibility and temperature resistance of silicone with the thinness of acrylic for easy application. Use them in the environments you’d use silicone coatings, such as high-vibration and high-temperature areas.
Coatings in a pen are best for precise application. Use them to repair scratches and chips on components, or touch up areas you missed while coating. They’re also good for blocking off areas you don’t want solder to flow into.
Coatings with ultraviolet visibility show up under a black light, so you can easily check if you’ve applied them evenly.
Coatings that meet IPC-CC-830 are certified for use on circuit boards. Coatings that meet UL 94 V-0 have passed a test for flame retardance.
