Why Copper?
Copper has been used for centuries for its conductivity and malleability. Through advances in industrial innovation, copper tape is more advanced than ever.
Our roll-annealed copper tape:
- Promotes electrical conductivity
- Shields electronics from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI)
- Is anti-static
These properties make APT copper tape a great way to make electrical connections by simply connecting components with the tape — no excess wiring required.
Strong Acrylic Adhesive
The adhesive on similar copper tape rolls reduces conductivity and increases resistance. Our specially-formulated acrylic adhesive mimics the conductive properties of copper itself. When affixed to electronics, it does its job with minimal interference.
Protected by a heavy-duty paper liner, APT copper tape stores well for years-worth of projects. Simply remove the paper backing as you go.
High-precision Electronic Applications
APT copper tape retains a sharp edge perfect for precision taping and die-cutting applications. Whether you need to make intricate electronic repairs or create a new project, our tape can be hand- or machine-cut to size and shape. Use APT copper tape on:
- Guitar electronics
- Conduction experiments
- Computer repairs
- Radio installations
- Antennas
- Circuit boards
- Damaged cords and connectors like HDMI cables
Whether you're a seasoned electronics expert or a beginner experimenting with paper circuits, APT copper tape is a flexible adhesive fit for your needs.
Copper Tape for Decor and Hobbies
Though APT copper tape is great for all kinds of electronics enthusiasts, it's also perfect for crafty hobbyists. Its malleable form and attractive, natural color is great for:
- Stained glass pieces
- Wall art
- Handmade greeting cards
- Custom metal artwork
- Stylish, protective borders on furniture
Because it's so easy to cut, there's no need for expensive metal-cutting equipment or in-depth metal-working knowledge. Just take out your roll, measure your project then cut and bend it to your desired shape.
Copper Tape: A Gardener's Best Friend
Slugs and snails are an important part of every ecosystem, but too many can wreak havoc on a garden. When left unchecked, they damage:
- Fruit
- Leaves
- Tubers
- Seeds
- Seedlings and sprouts
A copper border around plants, garden beds and pots deters those slimy pests from turning your hard work into a holey mess. Because copper carries a slight electric charge, slugs and snails turn away from it. The shock doesn't kill them, but it encourages them to seek snacks elsewhere.
Specifications
Though APT copper tape comes in 18 or 108-foot rolls with a width ranging from just a quarter of an inch to three inches wide, every roll has common specifications:
- Total thickness of 3 millimeters
- Backing thickness of 1.4 millimeters
- Steel adhesion of 35 ounces per inch
- Tensile strength of 25 pounds per inch
- Shielding effectiveness ranging from 70dB to 85dB
