    Description

    What is Acetate Cloth Tape

    Acetate cloth tape is a flexible adhesive tape made from woven acetate fiber fabric coated with rubber-based adhesive. It provides excellent conformability around irregular shapes, good dielectric strength for electrical insulation, and clean application without wrinkling. Acetate cloth tape is widely used in motor winding, transformer insulation, and wire harness wrapping.

    Adhesive Specialities manufactures acetate cloth tape for electrical insulation and industrial wrapping applications. Our acetate cloth tape combines the flexibility of woven fabric with reliable adhesion and electrical insulation properties needed for motor, transformer, and coil applications.

    Applications

    Motor Winding

    Acetate cloth tape is applied between coil layers and as outer wrap insulation in electric motors. Its flexibility allows it to conform smoothly around coil ends and irregular winding geometries without creating air pockets that reduce insulation effectiveness.

    Transformer Insulation

    In transformer manufacturing, acetate cloth tape insulates between primary and secondary windings. It provides both electrical insulation and mechanical protection for the wire.

    Wire Harness Wrapping

    The soft fabric backing makes acetate cloth tape suitable for wrapping wire harnesses in automotive and appliance manufacturing. It provides abrasion protection and a clean finished appearance.

    Coil Binding

    Acetate cloth tape binds inductor coils, solenoid coils, and relay coils during assembly. It holds the winding in place during varnish impregnation and final assembly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is acetate cloth tape used for?

    Acetate cloth tape is used for motor winding insulation, transformer coil wrapping, wire harness binding, and general electrical insulation where flexibility and conformability at temperatures up to 105°C are required.

    Is acetate cloth tape heat resistant?

    Acetate cloth tape is rated for Class A insulation at 105°C. For higher temperatures, use glass cloth tape (200°C) or polyimide tape (260°C).

    What is the difference between acetate tape and PVC electrical tape?

    Acetate cloth tape has a fabric backing that conforms better to irregular shapes and tears cleanly by hand. PVC tape has a film backing that stretches but does not tear. Acetate tape handles higher temperatures (105°C vs 80°C).
