Polyimide Tape

Polyimide Tape is a high performance insulating tape that gets fused to conductor and jackets. This product provides excellent moisture and abrasion resistance, high dielectric strength and it retains much of its physical integrity after gamma radiation exposure. FEP is used as the adhesive agent during the fusing process. Polyimide Tape product operates up to 500 Degrees F (260 Degrees C).
