Adhesive tapes for thermal class F

up to 155°C continuous operating temperature

The adhesive tapes of thermal class F withstand temperatures from approx. -20°C to 155°C in continuous operation. Kapton®, Nomex®, glass fabric and Teonex® adhesive tapes in particular are available in this thermal class. Special versions are also available upon request. For further information contact our sales team.

In thermal class F, Teonex® film is now found alongside the classic insulation materials glass fabric, Nomex® and Kapton®. Originally developed for higher-quality flexible printed circuits, the material is now frequently used as an aroma barrier in PET plastic bottles. PEN (polyether naphthalate) is particularly suitable for the electrical industry due to its higher temperature resistance compared to polyester (155°C continuous temperature instead of 130°C). Teonex® is also superior to classic polyester (Mylar®, Hostaphan®) in aging tests under difficult conditions (dirt, moisture) because it is more hydrolysis-resistant and diffusion-proof. In terms of processing, polyester adhesive tapes and Teonex adhesive tapes do not differ.

For class F insulation systems, the CMC 61xxx series of tapes (CMC 61100, CMC 61200) are the appropriate solution.

Features

CMC 19708
Nomex® / glass fabric
Colour: white

UL 510

Total thickness: approx. 0.280 mm
3.000 Vrms.

Laminate made of Nomex® 410 in 80µm thickness with glass fabric, thus good pressure impregnation and mechanically extremely resistant. Thanks to Nomex, enormous performance reserve, e.g. in the event of an incident.



CMC 61100
Teonex® (PEN)
Colour: colourless
Adhesive: Acrlyate

UL 510

Film thickness: 0.025 mm
Total thickness: 0.070 mm
5,500 Vrms.

Processing similar to polyester tapes, but higher temperature resistance due to Teonex® film, good resistance to impregnating agents, supple adhesive


CMC 61200
Laminate: Teonex® / glass fabric
Colour: colourless
Adhesive: acrylate

UL 510

Film thickness: 0.140 mm
Total thickness: 0.250 mm
4,500 Vrms.

Mechanically very robust adhesive tape for bundling and as phase insulation in electric motors (thermal class F), enormous power reserves due to glass fabric, very good adhesive strength.

CMC 65120
Nomex® 410 (polyaramide)
Colour: chamois
Adhesive: acrylate

Film thickness: 0.050 to 0.180 mm

Good impregnability, good resistance of the adhesive to oils, impregnants and varnishes, excellent properties of Nomex®, Very temperature-resistant adhesive tape



CMC 65758
Nomex® E56A (polyaramide)
Colour: chamois
Adhesive: acrylate

Film thickness: 0.180 mm
Total thickness: 0.210 mm
4.000 Vrms.

CMC 65758 is a Nomex® adhesive tape for general insulation use in generator, motor and transformer construction. The Nomex® 356 as backing paper is characterized by particularly good impregnant absorption.

CMC 65838
Laminate: Polyester / Nomex® 410
Colour: chamois
Adhesive: rubber

Film thickness: 0.090 mm
Total thickness: 0.135 mm
5,500 Vrms.

Thin laminate of Nomex® 410 and polyester film, therefore tear resistant and good dielectric strength. Can be used for class F when impregnated.

CMC 80725
Polyester fleece
Colour: white
Adhesive: acrylate

Film thickness: 0,060 mm
Total thickness: 0.160 mm
approx. 500 Vrms.

Strip coated polyester nonwoven with good impregnation properties, can be used for this thermal class using an impregnating agent of thermal class F. Popular tape for wrapping head bandages, phase separation and coil termination.

CMC 80736
Polyester fleece
colour: white
strip coated

Total thickness: 0.140 mm
-

Strip-coated polyester nonwoven with good impregnation properties, can be used for this thermal class using an impregnating agent of thermal class F. Adhesive tape for wrapping head bandages, phase separation and coil termination.

CMC 84160
Glass fabric
Colour: white
Adhesive: rubber

Film thickness: 0.120 mm
Total thickness: 0.180 mm
2.000 Vrms.

ATTENTION: according to UL only class B (test method dependent). Due to the rubber adhesive, high initial adhesive force of the glass fabric adhesive tape. Use e.g. for pole shoe, frequency converter (drive controller), line filter, current transformer, azimuth motor, high voltage mains transformer, variable transformers, autotransformer, generally as coil head tape.

CMC 84170
Glass fabric
Colour: white
Adhesive: Acrlyate

UL 510

Film thickness: 0.120 mm
Total thickness: 0.165 mm
2.000 Vrms.

Due to the acrylate adhesive better impregnant resistance of the glass fabric adhesive tape. Use e.g. for pole shoe, frequency converter (drive controller), mains filter, high voltage mains transformer, variable transformers, autotransformer, generally as coil head tape. Very temperature resistant adhesive tape

CMC 86719
Laminate polyester film/glass filaments
Colour: colourless
Adhesive: acrylate
5.000

Highly tear-resistant adhesive tape due to glass filaments, resistant to transformer oil, used in transformer and motor construction

CMC 77700
ETFE adhesive tape
Colour: colourless
Adhesive: polysiloxane

Film thickness: 0.100 mm
Total thickness: 0.160 mm
3.000

CMC 77700 is an excellent insulating adhesive tape. ETFE, like all fluoropolymers, has outstandingly good aging resistance and very good tracking resistance. Therefore, this tape is particularly suitable for high-voltage insulation and as an insulating material in outdoor applications.

UL: #E93622 - UL 510 flame retardant

Information on the breakdown voltage is always given at an operating frequency of 50/60 Hz. At higher frequencies, the dielectric strength is reduced depending on the material.
