Single-Sided Polyester (PET) Tapes
Single-sided polyester or Mylar® tapes are high strength, abrasion resistant, solvent resistant, chemically resistant, and can withstand high temperatures. They are a great utility tape for wide range of applications like high temperature masking, electronic insulator, splicing and surface protection. This combination of temperature resistance and electrical insulation film properties make these tapes a primary choice in electronic applications. Available in low caliper and a wide range of colors, these tapes come with rubber, acrylic, and silicone pressure sensitive adhesives.
Applications include: Wrapping coils, capacitors, wire harnesses and transformers. Reflective sensing, splicing, label protection, core starting, high temperature masking
- Excellent dielectric properties
- Chemical and solvent resistance
- Many different color backings available including silver
- High temperature resistance backing
- Resists tearing, abrasion, and rough handling
- Can meet flame retardancy requirements of UL 510
