Overview of Filmic Tapes:
Filmic tapes include carriers like PVC and polyethylene, each tailored for specific uses. Common features are clean peeling, writable surfaces (except AT6000), electrical insulation, high elongation, water resistance, and non-corrosive adhesives. Application temperatures range from +10˚C to +40˚C. PVC is flame retardant, unlike polyethylene.
General Specifications:- Thickness: 0.11mm to 0.44mm.
- Breaking load: 12 N/cm to 90 N/cm.
- Elongation: 100% to 600%.
- Adhesion to steel: 0.3 N/cm to 3.6 N/cm.
- Service temperatures: -40˚C to +130˚C.
Specific Tape Applications:- AT4 & AT5: Loom harnessing, bundling, short-term masking. AT5 is flame retardant.
- AT7 & AT8: Electrical insulation, floor marking, high adhesion, abrasion resistance.
- AT9 & AT10: Duct sealing, pipe wrapping, high abrasion resistance, flame retardancy.
- AT27 & AT30: Repair, protection, UV resistance, easy unwinding.
- AT34: High-performance insulation for extreme temperatures.
- AT44 & AT45: Low tack protection for construction, manufacturing.
- AT66 & AT68: Protection with UV resistance, clean removal.
- AT74 & AT77: High-temperature, all-weather insulation.
- AT79 & AT85: Self-amalgamating for insulation, waterproofing.
- AT88: Shuttering tape for sealing molds, formwork.
- AT206 & AT208: Gaffa® tapes for entertainment industry.
Standards and Safety:
BSEN60454 is the standard for PVC and electrical insulating tapes in Europe. Safety tips include using regulation colors for hazard marking and indicating traffic routes for health and safety.
