- 3. Chemical Resistance High temperature insulation tape is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents, ensuring its durability and longevity in harsh environments.
- In aerospace, where reliability is paramount, this tape proves invaluable. It seals joints, connectors, and hoses, preventing leaks and damage caused by extreme heat and pressure changes during flight. Its lightweight nature also contributes to fuel efficiency, a critical factor in aviation.
What Are the Types of Polyethylene Tape?
Rubber tapes are generally non-adhesive, and are either equipped with a liner or are linerless. Stretched and overlapped layers will fuse or bond together to form an effective electrical insulation and moisture barrier. For low-voltage (1000V or less) applications, rubber tapes should be stretched during wrapping so that tape width is reduced to approximately 75%. For high- and medium-voltage applications — where the electrical stresses are high (e.g. connector areas, lug areas, and cable shield cut-back areas) — tape should be stretched just short of its breaking point.



Here at Swift, we stock a number of different electrical tapes. Some are adhesive, some are not and somewhere in the middle are our self-fusing tapes. These don't stick to surfaces but they do stick to themselves.
An automotive wiring loom wrap is a crucial component in any vehicle, as it serves to protect and organize the complex network of wires that power the vehicle's electrical systems. Without a proper wiring loom wrap, wires can become tangled, damaged, or exposed to the elements, leading to potential electrical malfunctions and safety hazards.
3. Automotive Repairs Car enthusiasts have also found this tape useful for temporary fixes, such as covering a damaged hose or sealing a leaking coolant reservoir, allowing for safe driving until proper repairs can be made.
