Heat-resistant insulating tape for electrical applications

A heat-resistant insulating tape is designed for elevated temperatures. The permissible temperature and exposure duration depend on the specific product. Products in the listing have different backings and adhesives. To choose a tape, check the specifications for the individual item and the actual temperature at the point of use. Also consider the electrical task, surface and application process. The category alone does not tell you whether a tape suits every electrical connection.

The tapes differ in backing and adhesive: 3M Temflex Vinyl-Isolierband 165 has a PVC backing and rubber-resin adhesive; it is used, among other things, to insulate conductors and cable connections. 3M Epoxid-Isolierband Super 20 has an epoxy backing and acrylic adhesive; its applications include coils and transformers. This does not establish a general ranking. Compare each product's electrical function and thermal limits with your application before choosing a tape.

No. Your application depends on the complete insulating tape and the operating conditions of the specific product. The backing's temperature rating alone tells you nothing about the adhesive, its bond or the finished electrical connection. Consider the duration and type of thermal exposure, component, electrical task and processing method. If only material data are available, check the suitability of the finished item against its product information and your specific use before applying it.

Describe the electrical task, component, expected thermal exposure and intended processing method. If you have already selected a product, name it and add the required width, shape and supply format. This makes it possible to check whether the tape suits the application and how the base material could be processed. Krückemeyer GmbH can slit suitable adhesive tapes and provide die-cut parts; material, geometry and process are assessed against your specific requirements.
