Tape brands used in electronics ?

[user33331]

Hello
What is that 10mm width clear tape found inside laptops and such devices ? The tape is pretty adhesive and harder to remove than the normal office's 3M magic tape(TM) ? When you take it off it won't stick anymore so I have to buy some new tape now.

Is it that "Kapton/Polyamid tape" found in China stores ?

What tape brand do people use to replace these tapings inside laptops ? This is a newer Lenovo laptop so about every wire is taped to the casing inside. Screen's flex cable is also connected with tape.

Also if multiple what different tape types to buy for these kind of purposes ?

Can get all your needs on ebay.

Ok. Do they sell clear noncolored Kapton polyamid or is it always golden yellow transparent ? The Lenovo's laptop tape is clear.

How fast Kapton tape dries\fastens is it like super glue ?
When storaging do I put the tape roll in a air tight pouch ?

Does come in clear and other colors but cost more.

It's like normal tape but for electronics that is heat resistant.

Is the Kapton/Polyimide the only heat resistant tape brand ?
Or are there alternatives like 3M or such to be found ?

If I buy a bunch of different tape rolls on ebay which brands to select for comparing ?

Military use kapton, havent heard that term in a long time.

I use typically vinyl or medical tape.
