A
thin strip of copper backed with adhesive and is found at hardware, gardening
stores and electronic stores is termed as copper foil tape. It is used in
gardens to keep slugs and snails away from gardens, potted plants, trunks of
fruit trees, and other shrubs. Copper foil tape is also used as an
electromagnetic shielding, low-profile surface mount transmission line in electronics
and production of tiffany lamps. Copper foil tape is a popular choice across
all industrial applications. Copper foil tape meets the exact needs of
applications in industries such as EMI/RFI Shielding, arts, crafts, labels,
stained glass, transformers, batteries, motors and others. Adhesive copper foil
tape is produced in gauges, at varying thicknesses, as conductive adhesives and
non-conductive adhesives. Copper foil tape with non-conductive adhesives is the
most commonly available product.
According
to the study “Europe
Copper Foil Tape Industry Situation and Prospects Research Report”, it
was observed that there is a robust growth in copper foil tape market because
of it use in various industries such as
automotive, transportation, electronics, consumer goods, consumer appliances,
defense and aerospace which is fuelling the cooper foil tape market in Europe.
It is widely used in many industries because it possesses properties such as
resistance to flame, moisture, weather, dirt, and UV degradation. Copper foil
tapes are manufactured with pressure-sensitive adhesives like silicone,
acrylic, rubber, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), and acrylate to provide a vapour
barrier and superior sealing. Copper foil tapes are extensively used in
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Acrylic adhesives
are used in countries with cold weather conditions which permit the tapes to
adhere very well in high humidity and low-temperature conditions. They tapes
create air-tight seals in ventilation systems and duct work producing a
flexible bond and providing extreme temperature resistance.
Copper
foil tapes are extensively used in the electronics industry for shielding
electromagnetic wave and making contact for transformers. Copper foil tapes
offers superior performance in various temperature conditions. Acrylic-based
copper foil tapes are more versatile and better resistant to chemicals,
solvents and water. Automotive and transportation industries in Europe, use
copper foil tapes for sound dampening, heat sealing, and auto repair needs.
Europe copper foil tape market is categorized based on function type such as
conductive tapes and adhesive tapes. Based on product types copper foil tapes
are classified into tape copper foil and sheet copper foil. These tapes are
used majorly in electronics industry, cable wrapping and others. Europe’s
copper foil tape market is spread across Germany, Russia, UK, France, Italy and
other regions. The leading players in Europe’s copper foil tape market are 3M,
Ampetronic, Teraoka Tape, PPI Adhesive Products, Chibitronics, Jans Copper,
SIKA and VIACOR Polymer GmbH.
Electronics
industry is a part of the fastest industry with increasing demand from
smartphones and other electronics. The demand for circuit boards and batteries
is anticipated to drive the demand for copper foil tape. Rapid urbanization,
government spending, investment and increase consumers’ spending are a few
factors driving the development of the copper tape market in Europe. Cooper
foil tapes are used in various equipments used for building heating,
ventilation and air conditioning. The rising demand for copper foil tapes is
anticipated to drive European market at a faster pace due to rising need for
environmental protection of assemblies and surfaces from extreme chemical and
temperature conditions in the next few years.
