Scapa 650 is a high-temperature masking tape suitable for low static protection of delicate gold-plated finger tabs, assembly holes, and components during flux, preheat, and soldering processes. The tape can also be used for high-temperature industrial masking in clean room environments. The material consists of specially treated paper, which is single coated with a high-performance silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive. Said to offer extremely low electrostatic discharge at unwind, Scapa 650 works to eliminate PC board degradation. After processing, engineers can cleanly and easily remove the silicone adhesive from a surface without leaving an adhesive residue. During hot air leveling and wave soldering operations, the masking tape protects against chemical, solvents, solder, and rinse water, offering enhanced adhesion to electronic substrates. Scapa 650, which offers a wide operating temperature range, can serve as an alternative to polyimide tapes.
