Fiberglass Tape
A very versitile glass fibre enforced tape with high tensile-strength meaning it does not stretch or snap. The tape is wear and moisture resistant. Sticks to most surfaces including: glass, metal, fiberboard, cardboard, plastic polished wood etc. Suitable to hold parts together such as batteries or other electronic components.
It is also an essential tool in covering up the joints in wallboards.
But the use case for fiberglass tape far exceeds only this particular scenario.
Fiberglass Tape is also very usable in the scenario where you need to work with wrapping electrical cables. In this particular case Fiberglass Tape really shows its best side due to its capability to resist high temperatures.
Kapton Tape
Kapton or polyimide tape is widely used in all applications from 3D printing to spacecraft. In the electrical field it is used for its heat resistance and electrical insulative properties.
Kapton Tape consists of a single or double sided film that is coated with a silicon based adhesive.
At E-Racing we strive to deliver the best options to our customers when it comes to Fiberglass Tape and Kapton Tape, so that they are able to get the best results when working on their projects.
