Description
ATD-MYP-3US is a blue polyester tape designed for printed circuit board (PCB) masking, splicing, and chemical protection. Featuring a 1 mil polyester film and 2 mils of silicone adhesive, this 3.0 mil total tape offers excellent visibility, resistance to harsh chemical fumes, and clean removal with minimal residue.
This tape is widely used as an industry-standard plater’s tape during PCB production, especially in gold tab plating, tin/lead stripping, and other masking operations where high temperatures and chemical exposure are common.
