Features

• 3M™ Low Static Polyimide Film Tape 5433 employs a proprietary technology that results in extremely low electrostatic

discharge at unwind and removal from the PWB. Conventional polyimide tapes can typically generate over 10,000 volts

during use which can damage board mounted electronic components. 3M tape 5433 overcomes this problem without any

of the typical drawbacks of conventional “anti-static” or “static-free” tapes (e.g., variable adhesion and opaqueness).

• At room temperature the properties of polyimide and polyester film are similar. However, as the temperature increases or

decreases, the properties of the polyimide film are less affected than polyester.

• Polyimide film does not soften at elevated temperatures, thus, the film providesan excellent release surface at elevated

temperatures.

• RoHS compliant.
