What are Acetate Cloth Adhesive Tapes?

Acetate Cloth Tape is acetate cloth coated with thermosetting rubber adhesive, which gives the tape high adhesion, conformability, printability and it also has excellent insulating properties. These Acetate cloth adhesive tapes are highly versatile and can withstand extreme temperature usage. The adhesive tape is hand tear-able which makes it easy to use, making it the perfect choice for specific electrical use applications.  In terms of the adhesive tape application, Acetate Cloth Tape is used in final insulation of coils. It is mainly used in lead-holding and inter-winding where high mechanical strength is required, during final wrapping of coils in transformers, relays, resistors, solenoids and ignition, insulator coil outer wrap in F.H.P. motors. The adhesive tape may also be used in end-turn and interphase insulation and cable harnessing. Thus, providing a wholesome solution, as they offer excellent insulation capabilities.  Acetate Cloth Electrical Tape has excellent conformability in coil wrapping applications up to 105°C. Acetate cloth tapes also offer excellent absorption of resins and varnishes. As this adhesive tape is made from flexible acetate fabric, it works well on uneven surfaces maintaining the effectiveness of the tape at its best and is optimal for use in binding harnesses, etc. Acetate Cloth Adhesive Tapes are used for many purposes and have properties that make them the best adhesive solution for different reasons.
