Cloth Tapes Specifications

Help with Cloth Tapes specifications:

Type



	Your choices are...
	Adhesive		Adhesive tapes and films typically consist of a coated backing with one-or-two layers of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). Transfer tapes or film adhesives do not have a backing, and consist of an adhesive film packaged on liners.
	Single-Sided		With single-sided tapes and films, only one side is coated with adhesive.
	Double-Sided		With double-sided tapes and films, both sides of the backing or carrier are coated with adhesive. Two different pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) can be used on each side. This is useful for applications that involve bonding together very dissimilar materials. Double-sided products are supplied with a coated release liner.
	None / Non-adhesive		Non-adhesive tapes, films or laminates do not have an applied adhesive, but may be self-adhering. PTFE thread-sealing tape is a type of non-adhesive tape.
	Transfer		Transfer tape is a highly versatile product that consists of a thin adhesive film without a carrier or backing. It can be readily transferred to most dry surfaces from a peel-away release liner.

Materials


	Backing / Carrier:		The carrier or backing is a relatively thin, flexible material to which an adhesive is applied.
	Your choices are...
	PET / Polyester		Polyethylene teraphthalate (PET_ / polyester products use a PET or polyester backing in the form of tape, film, or laminate.
	Plastic / Polymer		Plastic products incorporate one or more plastic layers, or consist of plastic film or sheets that can be clear or colored, printed or plain, single-layered or multilayered, and combined with materials such as aluminum and paper. There are two general categories of plastics: thermoplastics and thermosets.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted backing materials.
	Cloth - Woven Fabric		Cloth products incorporate woven cloth or a fabric layer(s) for reinforcement, improved strength, heat resistance, or electrical properties.
	Cloth - Felt / Non-woven		Felt or non-woven tape, film, or laminates are applied to substrates to prevent scratching.
	Glass / Fiberglass		Tape and film products are reinforced with fiberglass, fiberglass composite material, or a glass layer.

	Adhesive:
	Your choices are...
	Acrylic		Acrylic adhesives provide excellent environmental resistance and faster setting times than other resin systems.
	Epoxy		Epoxy resins are adhesives that exhibit high strength and low shrinkage during curing. Epoxies are known for their toughness and resistance to chemical and environmental damage.
	Hot Melt / Heat Activated		Heat activated, thermally activating, or heat bond adhesives become tacky or sticky when heat is applied. The adhesive may soften, but not necessarily melt. Hot melt adhesives can be repeatably softened and melted by heat, and hardened or set by cooling. Cooling allows the removal or repositioning of parts during assembly.
	Pressure Sensitive (PSA)		Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) or contact adhesives are aggressively and permanently tacky at room temperature in dry (solvent free) form. They adhere firmly to a variety of dissimilar surfaces upon contact, requiring only the application of finger or hand pressure. PSAs do not require water, solvent, or heat activation in order to exert a strong adhesive force on materials such as paper, plastic, glass, wood, cement, and metal. PSAs have a sufficiently cohesive holding and elastic nature so that despite their aggressive tackiness, they can be manipulated by hand and removed from smooth surfaces without leaving a residue. In terms of general trade usage, leading tape manufacturers do not sanction the extension of the term “pressure sensitive” to include tapes and adhesives just because they are sticky (e.g., fly-paper), or just because they adhere or cohere.
	Rubber		Rubber-based adhesives provide highly flexible bonds and are usually based on butadiene-styrene, butyl, polyisobutylene, or nitrile compounds.
	Silicone		Silicone adhesives and sealants have a high degree of flexibility and very high temperature resistance.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted adhesive types.

Configuration


	Width		Enter the desired product width.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Thickness		Thickness is the distance from one surface of a tape, film, or laminate backing or adhesive to the other. It is usually expressed in mils or thousandths of an inch, and is measured under slight pressure with a special gauge.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Performance


	Peel Strength / Adhesion		Peel strength or adhesion is the force required to separate two bonded surfaces.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Temperature Resistance		Temperature resistance is the maximum temperature that products can withstand.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Electrical Resistivity		Electrical resistivity is the longitudinal electrical resistance (ohm-cm) of a uniform rod of unit length and unit cross-sectional area. Resistivity is the inverse of conductivity.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Dielectric Strength		Dielectric strength is the voltage that products can withstand without allowing the passage of current.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Performance Features



	Your choices are...
	Abrasion / Scratch Resistant		Tape and film products feature abrasion or scratch resistance.
	Anti-static / ESD Control		Tapes or film products have anti-static, static dissipating, or electrostatic discharge (ESD) control features. Typically, ESD control products have conductive, friction reducing, or ionizing characteristics.
	Dielectric / Insulating		Dielectric tapes are used as membrane dielectrics in multilayer capacitors. These tapes consist of an acrylic polymer mixed with a dielectric solid.
	Electrically Conductive		Electrically conductive products can conduct electricity and provide protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD). They may also provide shielding from electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). Conductive tapes and films are used in electrical heating elements and other electronics applications.
	EMI / RFI Shielding		EMI or RFI shielding products can provide protection or shielding from electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). Most shielding products use a conductive material to surround the device or equipment requiring shielding. Conductive EMI shielding works on the electric field portion of the electromagnetic wave or interference. Magnetic shielding is less common.
	Permanent		Once applied, products become permanently bonded to the substrate.
	Reflective		Reflective films are used to control radiant heat or enhance display brightness. Reflective tapes are highly visible and provide warnings about unsafe conditions. Reflective tapes are used in rotating or moving equipment to trigger proximity sensors, or enable a tachometer to make readings.
	Protective Tape		Products are used to form a protective layer on the substrate, and to provide protection against wear, corrosion, dust, water, electrical discharges, oil or grease, and other environmental conditions.
	Removable		Removable tapes can be applied and then removed without damaging the substrate, but not necessarily reused or repositioned.
	Safety / Flagging		Safety film and tape products are used for flagging, or as barricade tape. Reflective tapes are often used in safety applications.
	Thermally Insulating / Insulative		Thermally insulating or insulative products, such as structural insulative panels (SIP), provide insulation from heat.
	UV / Weather Resistant		Weather resistant products are suitable for outdoor use and resistant to ultraviolet (UV) light, cold, heat, water or other weather conditions.
	Other		Other unlisted or proprietary features.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
