What are Copper Foil Tapes
GALLOP INNOTEK copper foil tape is a functional tape composed of high-purity copper foil and a conductive adhesive layer. It retains the uniquely excellent properties of copper while offering flexibility and adhesiveness, making it a popular choice for you. The copper foil portion of GALLOP INNOTEK copper foil tape offers excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, while the adhesive layer provides superior adhesion and workability. The tape can be configured as either single- or dual-conductive tape to meet diverse electrical design needs.
In the GALLOP INNOTEK product line, copper foil tape undergoes an anti-oxidation treatment, ensuring long-term stability in high-temperature and humid environments. It is widely used in consumer electronics, communications, automotive electronics, and new energy industries.
Core Advantages of Copper Foil Tapes
High Conductivity: In GALLOP INNOTEK Copper Foil Tape, the copper’s conductivity is close to that of silver and far higher than most metals. The treated adhesive layer ensures electrical continuity, making it suitable for grounding, solder joint protection, and EMI suppression.
High Thermal Conductivity: Like the metal products in your home, copper has an extremely high thermal conductivity (approximately 400 W/m·K). Therefore, GALLOP INNOTEK Copper Foil Tape can be used as a heat dissipation channel, helping to dissipate heat from components.
Flexibility and Workability: GALLOP INNOTEK Copper Foil Tape can be easily cut and bent, and can be applied to flat, curved, and even irregular surfaces. It maintains excellent adhesion even in complex structures and confined spaces.
Stable and Durable: GALLOP INNOTEK Copper Foil Tape’s surface is treated with an anti-oxidation treatment, preventing discoloration or failure over time. It maintains stable adhesion even in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 120°C.

Classification and Characteristics of Copper Foil Tapes
Single Conductive Copper Foil Tape
GALLOP INNOTEK’s single-conductive copper foil tape features an adhesive layer that is conductive only on one side, while the other side relies primarily on the copper foil to conduct current.
Features: It has a relatively simple structure, so there is little to worry about when applying it; simply apply it, and you will have a stable one-sided conductive material.
Advantages: As a GALLOP INNOTEK invention, this formula ensures high conductivity, thereby eliminating the risk of a short circuit almost entirely. It is also easy to use and safe. It’s a dependable “apply and go” choice; suited for scenarios where conductive issues need to be immediately eradicated.
Double Conductive Copper Foil Tape
GALLOP INNOTEK double conductive copper foil tape, its main feature is that the adhesive contacts both the copper and the circuit surface, and can maintain good conductivity at any angle of use.
Features: It establishes a continuous and stabilized current path across the whole application area for high conductivity.
Advantages: Better electrical performance and shield effect than a single conductive foil. This kind of product is more stable and provides durable protection. You will feel secure and confident using it in any environment.
Reinforced Copper Foil Tape
GALLOP INNOTEK reinforced copper foil tape features a standard copper foil with an additional layer of PET or other reinforcing material on the back, providing enhanced mechanical strength and durability.
Feature: It retains the original conductive function and does not compromise the flexibility of the copper foil.
Advantages: This is a strengthened version of the product, offering increased wear resistance and durability, making it suitable for prolonged use in various environments. For users, it brings fewer replacements and higher reliability, making it especially suitable for applications with longer service lives and stable demand.

Industry Trends and Value of Copper Foil Tapes
With the rapidly growing power density of electronic devices, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and thermal management have become two critical issues in system design. Because of being compact, light, and flexible, and being easy to process, the GALLOP INNOTEK copper foil tape has drawn attention from the industry in various fields:
Consumer Electronics: Given the desire for lighter and thinner components, GALLOP INNOTEK copper foil tape is a viable option for shielding from electronic magnetic interference.
New Energy Automobile: Safety of conductive interface and protection for battery module.
Industrial and Medical Process Equipment: Stabilizing signals between devices/containers in industrial/factory environments.
In the future, GALLOP INNOTEK copper foil tape will be used to combine with graphite heat dissipation materials, thermally conductive films, and other materials to create compound solutions, which can provide you with a full range of solutions for higher-level electronic products.
Conclusion
GALLOP INNOTEK Copper foil tape is an “invisible helper” of electronic products. It has good conductivity, shielding, and is suitable for heat dissipation of heat-generating components, grounding and shielding of EMC, and structural transmission protection. From common mobile phones to high-end new energy vehicles and 5G communication equipment, copper foil tape ensures the stable operation of electronic products. When you select GALLOP INNOTEK Copper Foil Tape, you are choosing to add safety, security, and quality to your project.
The main contrast is in electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity of copper is much greater than that of aluminum. Copper foil tape can be applied to both high and low temperature environments, offering excellent performance in heat and cold resistance; aluminum foil tape is rarely used in heat and cold resistance. For EMI shielding/grounding, it is recommended to use GALLOP INNOTEK Copper foil tape.
If you just need single-point grounding or using shielding in personal content, you can choose the single-conductor type. If extra grounding points or entire electrical connections are necessary, the GALLOP INNOTEK Double conductor type is better, making sure both sides of the copper foil and glue have conductivity.
GALLOP INNOTEK copper foil tape has been processed with special anti-oxidation treatment, assuring long-term stable performance and reliability in a high-temperature working environment.
It depends on the specific application scenarios. If the gap space is very limited or you need to take care of a light-weight design, it can be a good candidate to use the copper foil tape over the other types of TIMs. When working on thermal designs, GALLOP INNOTEK copper foil tape is more appropriate as an auxiliary thermal conductive layer, and the use of a graphite sheet or thermal pad will be better.
