Acetate Cloth Insulating Tape

Acetate Cloth Insulating Tape Backing: acetate cloth Adhesive: rubber, acrylic or thermosetting option Thickness: 0.20 mm, 0.22 mm, 0.25 mm Color: black, white or custom Roll length: 30 m, 50 m or custom Width: 5 mm-1200 mm slit rolls Contact Us

High Temp Tapes Company is an acetate cloth insulating tape manufacturer for wire harnesses, motors, transformers, wound coils and electronics assembly. The tape gives a soft insulating cloth layer for wrapping, fixing and protecting compact electrical parts without adding a hard edge. It can be hand torn at the bench, wrapped around uneven shapes and supplied with controlled adhesion or optional flame-retardant grades after confirmation. Typical use includes cable jackets, varnished coil surfaces, plastic housings and other real production substrates.

Technical Data Sheet

Benefits

• Conformable acetate cloth surface wraps around wire bends, coil edges and irregular winding shapes with less rebound.
• Hand-tear backing helps operators work faster on harness assembly benches, motor lead stations and coil finishing lines.
• Typical peel adhesion of 6-10 N/25mm gives enough holding force for insulation wraps without making placement difficult.
• Reference tensile strength of 120-160 N/25mm supports normal wrapping tension and stable handling.
• Elongation around 15-25% helps the tape follow cable curves and compact coil geometry.
• Breakdown voltage can reach about 2.5-3.7 kV depending on grade, thickness and adhesive construction.
• Optional flame-retardant grade can be prepared for insulation systems that require verified flame behavior.
• Slit rolls can be controlled around +/-0.5 mm width tolerance, with edge fray checked after cutting.
• Residue and edge-lift behavior can be tested on cable jackets, varnished coil surfaces and plastic housings before production use.

Applications

1. Fixing and insulating wire harnesses in electronic devices, appliances, control modules and electrical assemblies.
2. Used as motor winding insulation tape around lead wires, coil ends and outer winding layers where a soft hand-applied wrap is required.
3. Applied as transformer coil wrapping tape for winding edge coverage, interlayer holding and insulation finishing before varnish treatment.
4. Supporting coil wrapping before resin or varnish impregnation where fabric absorption is needed.
5. Used as electronics assembly cloth tape to cushion internal cable paths and reduce minor contact noise near plastic housings or compact modules.
6. Holding relay, inductor and small coil insulation layers where a flexible cloth wrap is easier to place than film tape.
7. Wrapping harness branches in areas where hand-tear installation improves bench work efficiency.
8. Supporting flame-retardant insulation projects after grade confirmation and sample approval.

Where Does Acetate Cloth Insulating Tape Fit in Electrical Assemblies?

This material works well where insulation, fixation and light cushioning are needed in the same small area. As a wire harness insulation cloth tape, it can hold cable groups in position while adding a soft wrap that helps reduce minor buzz, rattle or rubbing contact inside electronic devices. Around motors and transformers, it can be used as an outer wrap, coil edge cover, lead wire fixation layer or interlayer holding material before varnish treatment. Its fabric structure is useful where a harder film tape may wrinkle, lift or create a sharp edge on irregular winding shapes.

Product Overview

Acetate cloth insulating tape is used where an insulation wrap needs to stay flexible on curved wires, coil ends and uneven assembly surfaces. The acetate cloth backing has a softer feel than many film materials, so it can sit smoothly around harness branches, transformer winding edges and motor lead wires. On manual workstations, operators can tear the tape by hand and place short wraps quickly without pulling nearby wires out of position.

For coil and winding work, this acetate cloth tape for coil wrapping is often chosen because the cloth surface can work with varnish or resin treatment. Common total thickness options include 0.20 mm, 0.22 mm and 0.25 mm. Rubber, acrylic or thermosetting adhesive can be selected according to bond strength, heat exposure and residue expectations. Standard grades are commonly referenced around 105C, while 130C grades should be confirmed by adhesive system and test data before use in higher-temperature insulation systems.

How Should Acetate Cloth Insulating Tape Be Tested Before Production Use?

Before mass production, the tape should be checked on the same materials used in the assembly, not only on a standard steel test panel. Cable jacket material, enameled wire, varnished coil surface, metal core edges and molded plastic housings may all respond differently to the same adhesive. A practical sample check should include initial tack, 24-hour edge lift, removal residue, cloth edge fray, wrapping tension and performance after the expected heat cycle. If a flame-retardant version is required, the exact grade should be matched with the insulation drawing or internal test standard.

FAQ

Is acetate cloth insulating tape suitable for coil wrapping?

Yes. It is commonly used for coil outer wrapping, edge covering, interlayer holding and fixation before varnish or resin treatment, depending on the insulation design.

Can this tape be used for wire harness fixation?

Yes. It can bundle and fix cable groups while adding a soft insulating cloth layer for electronic and electrical assemblies.

Does every grade have flame-retardant performance?

No. Flame-retardant grade should be specified separately and confirmed by the selected product data before production use.

Should samples be tested before bulk production?

Yes. Testing on the actual cable jacket, coil surface or plastic housing helps confirm adhesion, residue, edge lift, slit fray and wrapping behavior.
