Fire Retardant and Semi-Conductive Tapes

Product catalog summary

Overview
Scapa offers a range of fire retardant and semi-conductive tapes designed to meet stringent fire safety and electrical performance requirements. These tapes are primarily used in cable manufacturing to enhance fire resistance and electrical conductivity.

Fire Retardant Tapes

Composition: Made from a finely woven glass substrate with intrinsic fire retardant properties and a surface coating for weave stability. Free from halogens and sulphur.
Applications: Serve as a fire barrier, retaining cable integrity during and after fire exposure, and extending fire-survival time.
Specifications: Available in various tensile strengths, weights, and thicknesses to suit different cable types and applications.
Key Features: High tensile strength for excellent binding, compliance with IEC60332-3 Category A and IEC331 standards, customizable dimensions.

Semi-Conductive Tapes

Function: Perform electrical functions within a cable, equalizing field current and ensuring electrical contact with the earthing system.
Applications: Used for core and conductor screening, preventing electrolytic corrosion, and enhancing performance.
Specifications: Made from woven nylon or polyester, available in various tensile strengths, weights, and thicknesses.
Key Features: High electrical conductance, abrasion resistance, temperature stability, and conformability for good contact with conductors.
