SilGrip* silicone pressure sensitive adhesives for electronic masking tapes, commonly known as platers tape, are used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards for a variety of processes, such as hot air levelling, gold plating of circuit board fingers, and tin/lead stripping. SilGrip silicone PSAs typically exhibit good adhesion to a variety of surfaces and high temperature shear resistance.
