What is the Glass Cloth Tape?

Glass Cloth tape is a technical adhesive product used mainly in the electrical field for reinforcement or coils, wire, motor winding overhang, insulation… This product is particularly appreciated for its temperature resistance, ranked according to different levels.
Glass cloth tape is a tape with glass fiber composite PET film as the base material. Fiber tape has extremely high tensile strength and quality, and is resistant to abrasion, scratches, and strong load-bearing capacity.

Glass cloth tape is used for interlayer insulation and bundling of transformers (especially high-frequency transformers and microwave oven transformers), fixation of local parts of ovens, bundling and fixation of metal strips, winding fixation of ceramic heaters and quartz tubes, etc

What is The Main Application of Glass Cloth Tape?

Glass cloth tape products have different characteristics and different fields of use, especially industrial products. Fiberglass tapes can also be divided into many types, each with its own characteristics, some heat insulation, some heat preservation, and some insulation, which determines that they play different roles in different fields.

First of all, glass fiber thermal insulation tape is a kind of glass cloth tape, which has good heat insulation, heat preservation and corrosion resistance. It is made of glass fiber roving or bulky glass fiber yarn, which is suitable for winding high-temperature pipe fittings, such as heating wires and cables.

Silicone rubber glass fiber protective insulation tape, which is a thick glass cloth tape made of silicone rubber coated on the glass fiber blank tape, which can be used to wrap heating elements such as cables to provide heat insulation and heat preservation.

Fiberglass anti-radiation thermal insulation tape, this kind of glass cloth tape is made through a special process, and it is generally thicker. In addition to the above two types of performance, it also has insulation and anti-corrosion effects.

Silicone rubber self-adhesive tape. The double-sided tape made of this kind has good adhesiveness. It has the characteristics of self-adhesive, self-solidification, and can form a water-tight isolation layer in design, which can prevent oil and pollutants from penetrating into the inner braid.

What is The function of Glass Cloth Tape?

Glass fabrics play an important role in reducing the weight of vehicles and improving their strength-to-weight ratios. Fiberglass is on average three times less dense than steel, while still displaying a high level of tensile strength. Glass fabrics also increase sound dampening and fire resistance.

What is The Differences Between Glass cloth tape And Duct Tape?

As you’ve probably realized so far, Glass cloth tape and duct tape are very different. Let’s take a closer look at some characteristics that you need to take into consideration when deciding between duct tape and Glass cloth tape.

Adhesive
Glass cloth tape utilizes a non-permanent adhesive that can be removed without damaging the surface that lies beneath it and only leaving a light residue. The adhesive from duct tape will leave behind a gummy rubber-based adhesive when removed. Depending on the conditions, that residue can damage or gum up application surfaces and would need to be cleaned after finishing a job.

Tearable
Whenever you’re buying tape, you need to know if special tools are required to cut it.

Most duct tape can be torn by hand. But other duct tapes are made with added reinforcement, making it difficult to tear with your hands alone.

So in some cases, you’d need scissors or a similar tool to make cuts. Glass cloth tape can always be torn easily with your hands. There is no need to use a scissor or knife to make cuts, so it’s great for working on the fly.

Flexibility
Duct tape is easy to stretch. Its flexibility is perfect for situations when the tape needs to conform to an irregular surface.

Glass cloth tape does not stretch so easily, and it’s much less flexible. So Glass cloth tape is better for scenarios that require the tape to keep its shape.

Finish
If you need a tape that won’t reflect or show up in camera lighting, then the Premium Cloth Glass cloth tape (67665) is what you are looking for. It blends well with floors and backgrounds and can be purchased in many different colors, but the most popular is black, of course.

While duct tape also comes in different color options, it always has a shiny, glossy finish.

Resistance
Duct tape is resistant to water and weather, but it’s not heat-resistant. Under high heat, the duct tape adhesive can slide or even dry up. Glass cloth tape is much more resistant to heat, so it can withstand the high temperatures from hot lights.

While Glass cloth tape is usually resistant to moisture, Premium Cloth (67665) does not have a polyethylene backing like duct tape or even Standard Grade Glass cloth tape (67680), so it’s not waterproof.

Strength
Which is stronger, duct tape or Glass cloth tape? Gaffers tape is true cotton cloth and derives its strength from a tight weave of cotton fibers. Duct tape is a vinyl tape with fiber reinforcing. It is not true cloth.

Both will give a stronger bond than either paper or vinyl-only tapes, so consider the following scenarios for the tape you need:

Temporary, such as securing a cable to the floor. You may not want the most aggressive adhesive available in which case Glass cloth tape is the best product for this application, because it is strong enough to give you lots of holding power, yet the adhesive is not so strong that it is going to damage the surface it is attached to.
Permanent, such as for repair or attachment, then you should consider the most aggressive adhesive available, even if it may leave an adhesive residue or damage the surface it is attached to. Duct Tape is the winner here as it has a more aggressive adhesive that may damage a surface when it is removed, but if you do not plan on removing the tape, then this should not be a concern.
