ELECTRICAL INSULATION WITH TESA
tesa insulation tape in the product range
Different tesa tapes are available for cable identification and the insulation of battery components. Backing, adhesive and processing must suit the specific surface and electrical task.
01
Selection criteria
What insulation task must the tape perform?
Start with the component and its surface: must a cable be wrapped and identified, or must a battery component be insulated over an area? tesa Professional 53988 uses a flexible soft PVC backing with a natural rubber adhesive; tesa 58358 combines a PETP backing with modified acrylic adhesive for battery components. For each product, also check the geometry, application process and required electrical property.

SELECT BY APPLICATION
PVC for cables, PET for battery components
Wrapping, identifying, bundling and, where appropriate, repairing cables are distinct tasks. tesa specifies its flexible PVC insulation tape Professional 53988 for these uses. By contrast, tesa 58358 was developed as a single sided PET insulation tape for battery cells and other electric vehicle components; the manufacturer also describes processing with a backing and liner. The two products differ in backing and adhesive. A dielectric strength or temperature value for one product therefore cannot be transferred to other tesa insulation tapes or to the completed assembly.
Tell us which area needs insulation, its substrate, your processing method and the required supply format. Krückemeyer GmbH will check whether a suitable tape can be supplied as a slit roll or die cut part for your process.

TESA INSULATION TAPE QUESTIONS
What is tesa Professional 53988 used for?
According to its product information, tesa Professional 53988 is intended for insulating and identifying cables; repairing and bundling are also listed. Its flexible soft PVC backing can conform to the shape of a cable. The actual surface, processing method and electrical insulation requirements govern your selection. Product values and certifications apply to the particular version and do not replace an assessment of the intended application.
When should a tesa PET insulation tape be considered?
tesa 58358 is a documented example when battery cells or other electric vehicle components need electrical insulation. It is a single sided PET insulation tape with modified acrylic adhesive. The manufacturer also specifies adhesion to aluminium and steel and a backing with liner for automated processing. Whether this item suits your component depends on the surface, geometry, process and required electrical properties.
Is a thermally conductive tesa tape also electrically conductive?
Thermal conductivity alone does not establish that. The tesa range also describes a thermally conductive pad such as tesa 58328 as electrically insulating. Heat transfer and electrical function must therefore be checked separately for the specific product. Tell us what thermal and electrical tasks your component must perform; the product data and installed configuration determine the selection.
What information does Krückemeyer need for converting?
Specify the component, substrate and area that needs insulation or identification. The required tape width or shape, processing method and supply format are also useful. Krückemeyer GmbH can slit suitable tapes or supply them as die cut parts. We assess which format is feasible and appropriate for your application based on the selected material and geometry.
