Since fiberglass fibers have the best strength\/weight ratio compared to all other materials for reinforcements, they are chosen for demanding applications, just as in the case of fiberglass yarn<\/a> and fiberglass cloth<\/a> that are used in the manufacturing of industrial insulation.<\/p>\n Sealing of heavy duty corrugated boxes with filament tape is one of the common applications. This tape is necessary due to the fact that normal packing tape does not have the required strength to seal boxes with heavy loads. Filament tapes are mostly preferred when sealing full overlap boxes, five panel folders and telescoping boxes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For warehouses and logistic firms, filament tape is utilized in the unitization of pallets through securing a number of boxes\/items into one load for transportation and storage purposes. This is due to its high tensile strength and inability to stretch out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Filament tape is commonly employed in the bundling of long objects like pipes, rods, tubing, and lumber. The tape does not tear easily because of its resistance to tear in its longitudinal direction, and it keeps a strong bond between the objects.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If the weight of a carton or packaging is more than what the structure can handle, strips or strips of filament tape are used to strengthen fragile areas and to make sure that the carton doesn\u2019t break during transportation or handling. This is a standard procedure in industrial or export packaging, where the carton has to be reinforced without changing the packaging system entirely.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In cases where there is the need for light to moderate duty, filament tape may be used as a cheaper, safer and easier option than metal or plastic straps. The advantage of filament tape is that it lacks sharp edges and does not require tensioning equipment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Apart from their use in packaging, fiberglass reinforced tapes have applications in both the electrical and industrial manufacturing industries in cases where a great deal of tensile strength and temperature stability is required for wrapping, binding, and reinforcement of the various parts of machines. Harnawa Insulations produces Polyester Resin Fiberglass Tape<\/a> which is a kind of Insulation Tapes High Temprature<\/a> made specifically for use in electrical insulation. It can be used in situations like coil binding, motor windings, transformer windings, and cable harnessing; basically, just like the filament tape for packaging.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Filament tapes are useful in manufacturing applications because they can be used to fasten parts together temporarily while assembling the components, tie wire harnesses, and hold parts together until they can be fastened firmly. These tapes can survive mechanical stresses well, hence making them appropriate for use in manufacturing settings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Due to the increased prevalence of e-commerce and shipment of high value and heavy products through online transactions, filament tapes have become a necessity for companies that ship such products.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Filament tape selection is based on the application requirements as follows:<\/p>\n In case of electrical insulation and industrial usage, it is best that a qualified manufacturer helps in the selection of tape which fits into the temperature class and dielectric specification required. Harnawa Insulations with 25 years experience in manufacture provides the range of all insulation tapes and fiberglass based products required for motors, transformers, generators and other industrial machinery.<\/p>\n Filament tape is not just a reinforced version of packing tape; it is a high performance material used in many applications in packaging, logistic, manufacturing industries and even for electrical insulation purpose. Whichever the application, be it sealing of heavy duty boxes, bundling of pipes or unitization of pallets, choosing the right type of filament tape ensures reliability and safety. For fiberglass reinforced tapes for electrical and industrial usage, visit Harnawa’s insulation tapes range.<\/p>\n The uses of filament tape include sealing boxes, bundling pipes and other long materials, reinforcing poor packaging, unitizing of pallets, and as a substitute for metal and plastic strapping. Fiberglass-reinforced filament tapes can also be used in electrical insulation purposes such as coil and cable binding.<\/p>\n 2.Why is filament tape stronger than standard tape?<\/b><\/p>\n The filament tape has reinforcement fibers incorporated into its body. The reinforcement fibers can be made of fiberglass, polyester, or polypropylene. These reinforcement fibers make the filament tape strong and tear-resistant, a quality that is not present in the regular packing tape.<\/p>\n 3.Can filament tape be used in electrical applications?<\/b><\/p>\n Yes, it can. Reinforced tapes meant for electrical purposes can be made from polyester resin fiberglass tapes. Such tapes can be used in motor and transformer windings, coil and cable binding.<\/p>\n 4.Is filament tape better than metal strapping?<\/b><\/p>\n For light to medium weight requirements, filament tapes are much preferred over metal strappings because of their lightness, safety, lack of edges, and ease of application, without the requirement of tensioners.<\/p>\n 5.What sizes do filament tapes have?<\/b><\/p>\n Filament tapes are available in sizes that may differ from one manufacturer to another but they are mostly available in sizes of between 9 mm and 75 mm wide and roll length of 50 m.<\/p>\n 6.Do Harnawa Insulations manufacture fiberglass reinforced tapes in India?<\/b><\/p>\n Yes, Harnawa Insulations manufacture fiberglass reinforced insulation tapes in India, including polyester resin fiberglass tapes.<\/p>\n Related Post:<\/strong>Key Properties That Make Filament Tape Useful<\/b><\/h2>\n
