High-Strength Unidirection Fiberglass Reinforcing Tape

Product Overview

This product is a unidirectional glass fiber reinforced tape, made with unidirectionally parallel glass fiber monofilaments as the reinforcing skeleton, coated with synthetic rubber adhesive on one or both sides. This structural design provides significant mechanical reinforcement in the parallel direction of the fibers, specifically designed to provide directional reinforcement and protection for substrates.

Core Product Features:

The tape combines high-strength materials with engineered design to deliver targeted performance in reinforcement applications.

• Unidirectional Reinforcement Structure: The glass fiber monofilaments are arranged parallel and closely along the length of the tape, forming a unidirectional reinforcing layer. This structure gives the tape high tensile and tear resistance in the length direction, while maintaining flexibility in the perpendicular direction, facilitating bonding to curved surfaces.
• Synthetic Rubber Adhesive Layer: The tape uses synthetic rubber as the adhesive system. This adhesive layer provides adhesion to various substrates, including metals (such as steel), plastics, and composite materials, and offers a certain degree of aging and weather resistance.
• Low Elongation of Substrate: The glass fibers, acting as the reinforcing skeleton, exhibit minimal deformation under stress. This helps control the deformation of the reinforced component or material under load, maintaining the dimensional stability and rigidity of the structure.
• Flexibility and Composite Applicability: Despite its high strength, the tape is thin and flexible, allowing it to adhere to various surface shapes. It is easily composited with resins, putties, or other substrates, serving as an embedded reinforcing material.

Product Advantages

This specialized tape delivers precise, durable, and adaptable solutions for structural reinforcement across various industries.

• Directional Reinforcement: Its unidirectional fiber structure allows for precise adhesion along the primary stress direction of the component, maximizing mechanical strength in that direction with minimal material usage, effectively resisting tensile and tear stresses.
• Maintaining Substrate Flexibility: Unlike rigid reinforcement materials, this tape provides reinforcement without completely rigidifying the bonded substrate (such as flexible sleeves or joints), allowing for some bending and movement.
• High Application Adaptability: The tape form facilitates manual or semi-automated application, enabling on-site repairs, localized reinforcement, or wrapping of complex shapes, simplifying the reinforcement process.
• Environmental Resistance: The fiberglass material is non-flammable and corrosion-resistant, while the synthetic rubber adhesive layer exhibits resistance to temperature changes and atmospheric conditions, making it suitable for various industrial environments.

Main Application Areas

This product is primarily used in industrial applications requiring targeted mechanical reinforcement, crack repair, or structural strengthening:

• Pipe and Cable Harness Protection: Wrapped around rubber or plastic hoses and cable harnesses to prevent surface cracking due to friction and compression, and to provide additional longitudinal tensile strength.
• Joint and Crack Reinforcement: Adhesive to canvas joints, conveyor belt joints, composite material joints, or gypsum board joints to prevent cracking or propagation during use.
• Local Structural Reinforcement: Used for localized reinforcement of specific stress concentration areas in components such as plastic shells, fiberglass products, and wood products.
• Corrosion Protection Coating Systems: As an inner reinforcing material for corrosion protection layers (such as asphalt tape or adhesive tape), enhancing the overall mechanical strength and damage resistance of the coating system.
