Polyester/Fiberglass Tape (Class F Plus) Fiberglass strands are run axially through a flat braided polyester tape to provide extra strength and a thermal overload factor for “Locked-Rotor” and temporary overloads which exceed the softening point of polyester. The softer polyester fibers surround the fiberglass strands to minimize skin irritation and processing problems. Suggested Coatings: “CL” […]
Nomex ® Tape (Class H) Dupont’s Aramid fibers are braided into a smooth flat tape which is stable at high temperatures, self-extinguishing, and suitable for hermetic or conventional applications. Suggested Coatings: “CL” Polyurethane, “X” Untreated. Part Number Width Inches Thickness Inches Nominal Break Lbs. Standard Put-Up NFB0 .300 .016 120 250 yds. NFB1 .225 […]
Fiberglass Tape (Class H) Fiberglass is the industry standard for “Class H” applications and is strong, heat resistant and non-flammable. Fiberglass maintains 75% of its tensile strength at 650°F and is highly resistant to acids and alkalies. It is available in a variety of flat braided constructions. Suggested Coatings: “CL” Polyurethane, “S” Silicone. Part […]
Kevlar Tape (Class H) A high temperature, high strength material from Dupont. Kevlar® provides the advantages of fiberglass without causing skin irritation and processing problems. Kevlar is approximately four times stronger than Nomex and will retain 90% of its strength at 482°. Suggested Coatings: “CL” Polyurethane, “X” Untreated Part Number Width Inches Thickness Inches […]
Pre-Shrunk Polyester (Class F) Less than 3% RS at 350° F/1hr For fine wire or soft insulation systems where shrinkable tensions are undesirable. Suggested Coatings: “CL” Polyurethane, “W” Wax, “X” Untreated (Hermetic Applications) Part Number Width Inches Thickness Inches Nominal Break Lbs. Standard Put-Up DPS-00 .500 .032 700 250 ft. DPS0 .375 .028 410 […]
Polyester Tapes (Class F) Typical shrinkage 10-11% at 325° F/1hr High tenacity continuous filament braided polyester yarn. Western Filament’s DHS tape minimizes snagging, improves the insulation bond, and when coated will not frizz, fray or unravel. Suggested Coatings: “CL” Polyurethane, “W” Wax, “X” Untreated (Hermetic Applications) Part Number Width Inches Thickness Inches Nominal Break […]
