The polyester adhesive tape is a thin, conformable polyester tape with a translucent backing. The silicone adhesive on the tape provides good adhesion to various surfaces. It is also tear-resistant. It is particularly suitable for powder coating. It is a perfect choice for this application since it provides sharp paint lines and clean removal after application. It is also excellent for permanent splicing operations and provides good chemical resistance.
It is used in various industrial processes such as bonding and jointing. Besides, it is able to withstand high temperatures and is resistant to chemicals. It also does not leave any residue on its surfaces. The tape is suited for a variety of surfaces, including metal, nylon, and tricot.
Another feature of polyester adhesive tape is its high dielectric strength. It is also suitable for insulating electrical motors and fastening high-voltage transformers. This makes polyester electrical tape versatile tape. It comes in a variety of thicknesses and is compatible with thermosetting rubber and acrylic adhesives.
