What Is Graphite Tape?
Graphite tape, made of a base material with graphite powder and an adhesive, is known for its high thermal conductivity and electrostatic discharge prevention. It’s used in electronic devices for heat dissipation, in automobiles for thermal dissipation of engines and brakes, and in construction for thermal conduction in insulation materials and underfloor heating.
Graphite tape operates by conducting heat through the graphite powder while the adhesive secures it to the bonding surface. It is significantly more thermally conductive than metal. Available in single-layer and multi-layer types, the tape varies in cost and durability.
