Designed for modern PCB manufacturing, Apex Series polyimide label materials maintain adhesion and barcode readability through high-temperature reflow, aggressive fluxes and chemical cleaning.
Multi-cycle reflow, active fluxes and high-pressure cleaning can cause conventional labels to lift, discolor or become unreadable.
Apex Series combines high-performance polyimide films, advanced coatings and durable adhesives to support reliable PCB traceability throughout production.
Maintains label integrity through demanding reflow processes and repeated thermal cycles.
Withstands aggressive fluxes and common PCB cleaning chemistries.
Preserves small text and dense barcode readability after processing.
Supports crisp, high-contrast thermal-transfer printing.
Compared with previous-generation materials under controlled testing. Actual performance depends on the product construction and application conditions.
REACH and RoHS compliant options are available. ESD-safe and UL Recognized constructions vary by product.
For electrostatic-sensitive PCBs and components, selected Apex constructions provide static-dissipative surfaces and low-charging label systems to support ESD-controlled manufacturing workflows.
ETIA supplies Apex Series materials with sample evaluation, application support and flexible converting options.
