Glass Cloth Tape

Overview

Glass cloth tape has a strong abrasion-resistant backing, which provides strength for bundling, harnessing, and protection applications requiring high tensile strength. The fiberglass-backed tape is designed to perform at high-temperatures. It is able to withstand temperatures ranging from -65°F/-54°C to 450°F/232°C, and intermittent temperatures up to 550°F/288°C or higher, depending on the type and duration of the heat source. Glass cloth tape provides the friction needed to stay in place for long periods of time. It resists edge fraying and rotting, as well as solvents and abrasions. (Non-adhesive version, fiberglass tape)

Applications

Glass cloth tape is used in a variety of aerospace, automotive, military, roofing, specialty vehicle, and shipbuilding industries for seaming and sealing panels, high-temperature masking, bundling, holding, and harness wrapping.

Masking

Glass cloth tapes are most often used in blasting, flame, and thermal spray applications. It is highly conformable for masking uneven surfaces or irregular shapes.

Wire Harness

Glass cloth tape can also be used as a wire harness/wrapping tape. They are used for securing and protecting wiring looms used extensively throughout every automobile build. Wire harness tapes and wire wrapping tapes are used for standard automotive technologies such as CD players, airbags, and electric windows to modern-day luxuries such as TV screens in headrests, electronically heated seats, and fuel-efficient engines with each device requiring its own level of wiring harness per the application environment and space restrictions.

Glass Cloth Tape for Electrical Insulation

• Insulating electric and induction-type furnace power supply leads
• Insulating motor lead connectors, switchers, and controls for furnaces and ovens
• Insulation in coil wrapping outerwrap
• Helps to provide heat stable insulation for hot spot applications
