LACING TAPE & CORD


Materials Finishes
Nylon - synthetic fiber resistant to fungus and most acids, with excellent tensile strength and abrasion resistance. The function of the finish is to permit easier handling of the material (reduce fray), and improve knot retention.
Dacron - has all of nylon characteristics, as well as better acid resistance, less elongation and less susceptibility to discoloration. A - Non-Waxed-Untreated
Linen- Available in cord only, has less stretch than nylon and Dacron and is excellent or serving heavy cable and ropes. Also used for lacing wire bundles where a stiffer tie is required, as in switchboards, motors, etc. B- ICO Standard MW Finish-A micro-crystalline wax with melting point above 55ºC/130ºF and non-flaking characteristics. It is compounded to develop excellent knot retention, yet not give a waxy feel to user.
Fiberglass w/
Coated Teflon -

a specially developed flat-braid of fiber- glass, coated with Teflon finish, designed for high temperature applications up to 260ºC/500ºF. Teflon is bonded to fiberglass to keep tape from fraying.
C- Special SR Finish - A special coating of fungi static synthetic rubber containing no corrosive compounding ingredients. It has best knot characteristics of all materials, along with good non-dusting or flaking properties. Being soft and pliable, it will not injure user's hands.
E- Special PVA Finish - Copolymer vinyl chloride acetate finish with a melting point above 175ºC/350ºF for use where a wax-free type or higher operating temperature is specified.
