Kapton Tape - Super-thin insulation with serious protection
When you need thin, reliable electrical isolation or insulation, Kapton Tape is one of those workshop essentials that is hard to beat.
Kapton is extremely thin, yet it resists puncture and penetration far better than ordinary electrical tape and many other insulating materials. That makes it ideal for confined spaces inside locomotives, where every fraction of a millimetre matters.
It also offers excellent thermal resistance, so it can be used as a heat barrier or protective shield where additional protection is needed around motors, decoders, lighting components and other electronics.
✓ Excellent electrical insulation and isolation
✓ Strong resistance to puncture and penetration
✓ Excellent heat resistance
✓ Ideal for protecting decoders, wiring and electronic components
✓ Leaves far less bulk than traditional electrical tape
✓ Perfect for model railway electronics and workbench use
Our double-sided Kapton Tape combines the insulation benefits of Kapton with a highly useful mounting function.
Stick it to the locomotive chassis, remove the top protective layer, and it can securely hold a decoder, speaker or other small electronic component in place without adding unnecessary bulk.
It is also ideal for holding wiring neatly against the chassis, helping prevent loose wires from becoming trapped between the chassis and locomotive body when everything is reassembled.
