Glass + Polyester Fiber Tape
Glass + Polyester Fiber Tape are produced by weaving on narrow fabric looms in various thickness & weave density. The tapes are available generally in plain weave & twill weave upon request. The tapes are rolled on to a core to a required length. Core size and tape length are as per customer requirement. The tapes are in loom state condition with uniform selvedge.
COMMON FEATURES :
- Excellent di-electric properties.
- Good chemical resistance.
- Good reinforcement to insulating varnishes
- Armoring against mechanical damage.
APPLICATION :
Our woven tapes find application in electrical industry for insulation purposes, in stator & rotor coils in rotating machines, transformers and power cables.
The Glass + Polyester Fiber Tapes are usually used for similar application as glass tape but has advantage of non fraying edges due to polyester yarn being in the weft direction and glass in the warp direction. These Woven Glass + Polyester Tapes are hybrid tapes with high tensile & incombustible properties of glass fibre in the machine direction and ease of handling of polyester fibre across. Or vice versa where polyester is in machine direction as warp to support shrinkage & glass across in weft for use temperature enhancement
SELECTION OF WOVEN TAPE :
The choice of our woven tape to be used for a particular job usually depends on the following
Temperature class
upto Class F 155°C, upto Class C 230°C + maximum short term temp. upto 500°C
Thickness
The allowable thickness of the tape in relation to the end use can be an important criterion. The nominal thickness measured between the selvedges, for woven tapes are usually from 0.09 mm. to 0.23 mm. Higher thickness are available upon request.
Width of the tape
Depending on the end use, various widths from 05 mm to 160 mm can be used. The tolerance on width is ± 10% mm for nominal widths upto and including 25 mm and ± 1.5 mm for nominal widths over 25 mm or upto 10% based on the requirement.
Weave Density
No of ends in warp & weft direction per unit length signify weave density. Various options are available.
Length of the tape
Standard 50 meters. However available as per customer requirement in other lengths also.
Breaking Strength
This is an important criteria, since while winding, the tape should not tear off or dislocate and should have adequate strength.
