Non-Woven Fabric Tapes
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Technical Overview
Non-woven fabric tapes utilize a carrier material composed of randomly or semi-randomly oriented fibers bonded together by heat, chemical treatment, or mechanical entanglement, rather than weaving. This construction results in a soft, conformable, and porous backing that is typically hand-tearable and highly flexible. They are often backed with aggressive synthetic rubber or acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives.
The absence of a defined weave pattern allows these tapes to conform tightly to irregular surfaces and corners, making them preferred for cable harnessing and temporary industrial marking. Technical parameters include caliper (thickness), tensile strength (typically lower than woven), and degree of air permeability. The soft, porous nature also contributes to acoustic dampening in certain applications.
Why Choose Us
Differentiating Attributes
- Exceptional Conformability: The structure allows the tape to easily follow irregular contours, corners, and curved surfaces, ensuring a complete and aesthetic wrap or seal.
- Acoustic Damping Properties: The porous, soft fabric structure helps absorb noise and prevent rattling, a critical feature in reducing NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) in automotive applications.
- Hand-Tearable Convenience: Enables rapid application and efficient field work without the need for cutting tools, simplifying assembly and repair procedures.
- Non-Splintering Edge: Unlike film tapes, the fabric edge resists tearing into fine strands, resulting in a cleaner, professional-looking wrap or finish.
- Non-Reflective/Matte Finish: Often preferred for aesthetic reasons in consumer electronics and automotive interiors, preventing glare.
- Compatibility with Wire Harness Coatings: Formulated to adhere reliably to standard PVC and other insulation materials used in electrical wiring harnesses.
Core Features
Applications
- Automotive Wire Harness Wrapping: Bundling and protecting electrical cables within the engine bay and interior, often with a focus on noise suppression and abrasion resistance.
- Temporary Holding and Fixing: Securing components during assembly stages in manufacturing, particularly when quick removal without residue is required.
- Masking and Surface Protection: Shielding sensitive surfaces during painting, bonding, or manufacturing processes where a clean removal is necessary.
- Interior Upholstery and Trim Attachment: Used in automotive and furniture assembly for non-critical fastening where a flexible, soft carrier is required.
- Medical and Healthcare Taping: For sensitive skin applications (Note: Specific medical certifications are required for this sector).

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: Are non-woven tapes waterproof?
- A: Non-woven carriers are inherently porous, so they are not waterproof sealants. While the adhesive may resist moisture, they are generally used for bundling, abrasion resistance, and sound damping, not for creating a water barrier.
- Q: How do non-woven tapes reduce noise in wire harnesses?
- A: The soft, flexible fabric acts as a mechanical dampener, preventing adjacent wires from vibrating and rubbing against hard plastic components, which is the primary source of 'rattling' noise.
- Q: Can these tapes be printed on?
- A: Yes, many non-woven fabric carriers are designed to be receptive to printing, allowing for custom branding, identification, or safety warnings directly on the tape surface.
- Q: What is the risk of residue upon removal?
- A: While non-woven tapes are often chosen for easy removal, the potential for residue depends entirely on the adhesive type (rubber vs. acrylic) and the duration and temperature of the application. Low-residue acrylic formulations are recommended for temporary fixing.
