Lithium battery tape

Made with PP/PET/PI film and electrolyte-resistant acrylic adhesive. Available in 0.016-0.05mm thicknesses. Provides insulation, strong adhesion, and flame resistance for lithium-ion battery protection.

High-temperature lithium battery tapes are made from insulating materials (PP, PET, or PI films) coated with a lithium battery electrolyte-resistant acrylic adhesive. Available in thicknesses of 0.016mm, 0.020mm, 0.03mm, 0.035mm, 0.04mm, and 0.05mm, they are specifically designed for insulating and securing lithium-ion battery cells and other components. They offer strong electrolyte resistance, high adhesion, excellent conformability, and are environmentally friendly and flame-retardant.

Production Process Flow

From raw materials to finished product, every step is rigorously controlled to ensure consistent and reliable performance.

  • ​Base Material: High-temp films like PI, PET, or PTFE (10–50μm thick).
  • ​Adhesive: Silicone or acrylic-based, with heat-resistant additives (e.g., silane coupling agents).
  • ​Accessories: Release paper (protects adhesive), solvents (toluene/MEK for dilution).
  • ​Surface Cleaning: Plasma or chemical treatment to remove impurities and improve adhesion.
  • ​Primer Coating​ (optional): Enhances bonding between base and adhesive.
  • Methods:
    Transfer Coating: Adhesive applied to release paper first, then transferred to base.
    Direct Coating: Adhesive applied directly to base (requires precise thickness control).
  • ​Drying: Oven-dried at 80–150°C to evaporate solvents.
  • ​Release Paper Lamination: Protects adhesive layer.
  • High-Temp Curing: Some adhesives require curing at 120–180°C for enhanced heat resistance.
  • ​Slitting: Cut into custom widths (e.g., 5mm, 10mm).
  • Rewinding: Rolled to standard lengths (e.g., 50m, 100m/roll).
  • ​Die-Cutting​ (optional): Shapes like circles or squares.
  • ​Packaging: Dust/moisture-proof (cardboard or anti-static bags).
  • Heat Resistance Test: 200°C for 1 hour (no warping/delamination).
  • ​Adhesion Test: 180° peel strength (≥1.5N/cm).
  • ​Insulation Test: Withstands ≥5kV.
  • ​Visual Inspection: No bubbles, impurities, or scratches.

Technology Showdown: PET Tape vs. PI Tape

The choice of base material is critical for lithium battery tapes. While both PET and PI films provide excellent insulation, their differences in thermal performance, mechanical properties, and cost have a profound impact on application suitability.

PET (Polyester) Base Tape

  • High Cost-Effectiveness: Lower material cost makes it ideal for consumer electronics and applications where budget is a key driver.
  • Excellent Mechanical Strength: High tensile strength and puncture resistance, suitable for automated high-speed wrapping.
  • Good Insulation: Provides reliable dielectric strength for standard operating voltages in most battery applications.
  • Multiple Colors: Available in various colors (blue, green, yellow) for easy identification and process control.
  • Moderate Temperature Resistance: Typically rated for continuous use up to 130°C, not suitable for processes involving high-temperature exposure.

PI (Polyimide) Base Tape

  • Superior High-Temp Performance: Can withstand continuous temperatures of 180°C to 260°C, essential for power batteries and demanding applications.

  • Excellent Dimensional Stability: Maintains its shape and size across a wide temperature range with minimal shrinkage.

  • High Dielectric Strength: Offers top-tier electrical insulation, providing a greater safety margin in high-voltage systems.
  • Higher Cost: The raw material and manufacturing process are significantly more expensive than PET.
  • Limited Color Options: Typically only available in its natural amber color.
