Material: | The carrier or backing is a relatively thin, flexible material to which an adhesive is applied. | ||
Your choices are... | |||
Fluoropolymer | Fluoropolymer films, layers, or coatings consist of plastics such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Fluoropolymer coatings are used in applications that require superior chemical resistance, good dielectric properties, and water and stain repellent characteristics. Fluoropolymers are also used in applications where the material handled must not stick to the belt, fabric, or laminate. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an insoluble compound that exhibits a high degree of chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction. It is sometimes marketed in proprietary classes of materials such as Teflon®, a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers. | ||
Silicone | Products use a silicone backing in the form of a 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. | ||
PET / Polyester | Polyethylene teraphthalate (PET_ / polyester products use a PET or polyester backing in the form of tape, film, or laminate. | ||
Filament | Filament is generically referred to as strapping tape. Filament tape draws its strength from thousands of individual filaments woven into yarns that are embedded in adhesive on the tape's backing. | ||
Cloth - Felt / Non-woven | Felt or non-woven tape, film, or laminates are applied to substrates to prevent scratching. | ||
Cloth - Woven Fabric | Cloth products incorporate woven cloth or a fabric layer(s) for reinforcement, improved strength, heat resistance, or electrical properties. | ||
Specialty / Other | Other unlisted backing materials. | ||

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. | ||
Permanent | Once applied, products become permanently bonded to the substrate. | ||
Removable | Removable tapes can be applied and then removed without damaging the substrate, but not necessarily reused or repositioned. | ||
Thermally Insulating / Insulative | Thermally insulating or insulative products, such as structural insulative panels (SIP), provide insulation from heat. | ||
Other | Other unlisted or proprietary features. | ||
