I'll just reply with https://www.kaptontape.com/Conductive_Tapes.php
I last used it in the IFE industry. There may be more than one type, but I'm not an expert at this. 73, matt W6NIA On 05/27/2017 03:31 PM, Mark Petiford wrote: > RE: Kapton tape > > > Matt, > > > Kapton is actually a pretty good insulator, but it is NOT a good > material to prevent abrasion.
