How does conductive copper tape work?

Conductive tape is designed to provide a path for charge transfer. In addition to its obvious protective function, our copper tape has been developed to provide protection at the ionic level, which means ESD protection. What is ESD protection? Electrostatic discharge is a physical phenomenon that occurs naturally. It is defined as the transfer of charges between objects with different electrical potentials. It is most commonly observed when two materials rub against each other. To reduce unnecessary friction and minimise the potential risks resulting from these adverse physical effects, it is worth using conductive tape.

Copper tapes are a key part of ESD protection equipment, which is why it is so important to use them correctly and with all necessary precautions. Conductive tape is responsible for creating a controlled resistance path. Slow discharge helps prevent damage caused by sudden electrostatic discharge, that is, a rapid change in the amount of electrostatic charges. Dissipating these charges protects components against damage caused by static electricity. Our products have been designed to ensure the most effective possible dissipation of electrostatic charges.

The copper tapes available in our store are made from top-quality materials, which guarantees reliability and safety while meeting all requirements for handling materials sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Our range includes the following copper tapes: self-adhesive copper tape on a roll – 10 mm x 30 m and 15 mm x 30 m.
