Polyimide Tapes are a logical fit

The offering of high temperature polyimide tapes is a logical fit to CAPLINQ growing product range. It complements the existing semiconductor product offering of consumable materials and gives customers another product it can buy from a supplier it trusts.

“Polyimide Tape is one of those everyday products that our customers take for granted, but that is so critical to the manufacturing process,” stated Chris Perabo, founder of CAPLINQ.  “But with so much variation in the quality of the products offered by competition, our customers were asking if we could offer an everyday low-price on a high quality polyimide tape that they could trust.”
