High Dielectric Strength Tapes
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Technical Overview
High dielectric strength tapes are designed to function as primary electrical insulation, providing resistance to the flow of electric current. This is achieved using non-conductive carriers (such as high-purity polyester/PET, polyimide, or PVC film) and high-purity, non-corrosive adhesive systems that do not contain conductive fillers or corrosive agents.
The key performance metric is the Dielectric Strength, measured in volts per unit thickness (V/mil or kV/mm). A high value indicates the tape's ability to withstand high voltage without dielectric breakdown (puncture). These tapes must also exhibit high volume and surface resistivity and maintain electrical integrity under heat and moisture exposure, making them essential for motors, transformers, and electronic wiring harnesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: What is the primary difference between Dielectric Strength and Resistivity?
- A: Dielectric Strength is the measure of the maximum electric field an insulating material can withstand without electrical breakdown (puncture). Resistivity is the measure of how strongly the material opposes the flow of electric current (insulation quality). Both must be high for good insulation.
- Q: Can any clear film tape be used as electrical insulation?
- A: No. Standard clear film tapes may have impurities, moisture-sensitive adhesives, or low thermal ratings that can quickly lead to dielectric failure or corrosion on the copper winding. Only tapes certified for electrical insulation (e.g., UL recognized) should be used.
- Q: Why is the thermal rating (insulation class) important?
- A: The insulation class (e.g., Class B, F, H) indicates the maximum continuous operating temperature the insulation can withstand over its life. Using a lower-class tape in a high-temperature motor will lead to rapid thermal degradation and failure.
- Q: Does the adhesive affect the dielectric strength?
- A: Yes. The adhesive thickness and purity must be controlled. If the adhesive contains conductive impurities or is chemically corrosive, it can reduce the overall dielectric strength or cause localized failure.
