What is nano tape actually used for?




As an emerging material, nano tape has gradually entered people's daily life and industrial production with its unique properties and wide application fields. Next, the practical uses of nano tape will be elaborated in detail from five major application scenarios, from daily life to industrial production, to show its versatility and importance.

1. Basic characteristics of nano tape

Nano tape is inspired by the van der Waals force adsorption principle of gecko's feet. Its surface is densely covered with millions of nano-scale micro-suckers, which form a vacuum negative pressure by excluding air, and produce an adsorption force of up to 1.5N/cm² (which is equivalent to hanging 150 grams of weight per square centimeter). Its main characteristics include high viscosity, waterproof and moisture-proof, high temperature resistance, reusable and traceless.

1. Daily home life

​Fixed decorations: Fix photos, paintings or decorations on the wall (load-bearing up to 5kg/m²), which is both beautiful and firm, and will not damage the wall when torn off.
Handicraft production: Nano tape is very suitable for pasting and fixing in handicraft production due to its transparent and traceless characteristics.
Creative DIY: Nano water balls can be made by using the waterproof, elastic and non-toxic properties of nano tape, and various squeezing toys can be made for children to play and increase the fun of life.
Pet hair cleaning: Roll to absorb pet hair on sofas and clothes, and reuse after washing


2. Electronic equipment

Heat dissipation management: Japanese manufacturer NanoTachi has developed thermal conductive nano tape for fixing computer CPU heat sinks, with a temperature resistance of 150°C.
​Fixed components: In the process of circuit board manufacturing, nano tape is used to fix various components to improve production efficiency and product quality.

 

3. Automobile field

Automobile interior fixing: such as pasting car mobile phone holders, hand-made models, reinforcement of car tail wings, pasting of door sill strips, etc.
​​Component assembly: In the process of automobile manufacturing, nano tape is used to assemble body parts to enhance structural stability and durability.


4. Medical innovation

Wearable devices: NanoSonic, an American company, develops medical-grade nano tape to fix electrocardiogram electrodes to avoid skin allergies.

Surgical assistance: used to fix medical devices, assist surgical operations, temporarily fix endoscopic instruments in minimally invasive surgery, and reduce the use of metal clamps.

 

5. Industrial and scientific research

Clean room applications: Semiconductor factories use nano tape to fix wafers to avoid particulate contamination.

Space exploration: NASA tested nano tape to fix tool cabin equipment in a zero-gravity environment, with a temperature difference of -180℃~260℃.

3. Differences between nano tape and traditional tape
