Polyester Film Tape-PET Tape/Mylar Tape

Polyester film tape (Mylar/PET) with silicone or acrylic adhesive options, based on a PET film substrate. Suitable for electrical insulation and mechanical fixation in transformers, capacitors, relays, voltage regulators, motors, and other electronic components. Insulation class: B (130°C). Typical thicknesses and dimensions are provided below.

Description

  • Material and construction

    • Base: Polyester film (PET/Mylar) provides high dielectric strength, dimensional stability, and good mechanical toughness.

    • Adhesives: Available silicone adhesive or acrylic adhesive coatings, chosen to match electrical insulation, heat resistance, and environmental requirements.

    • Backing: Flat film with clean release characteristics to permit reliable wound-insulation applications and easy removal when needed.

  • Key properties

    • Electrical insulation: Excellent dielectric strength and breakdown resistance suitable for interlayer and coil insulation in motors and transformers.

    • Thermal performance: Class B insulation (130°C) for typical transformer and motor applications; suitable for short-term higher-temperature exposure as per adhesive specification.

    • Mechanical: High tensile strength, good abrasion resistance, and clean peel with minimal residue.

    • Chemical resistance: Generally resistant to common oils, solvents, and humidity typical in electrical equipment environments.

  • Advantages for applications

    • Uniform thickness control and tight dimensional tolerances aid reliable coil winding and insulation lap.

    • Optional adhesive systems (silicone or acrylic) provide varying levels of heat resistance, UV stability, and dielectric performance to suit specific end-use sets.
