Features & Benefits
- Shrinkage Data
Polyester and polyester-glass tapes can be shrunk with the application of a heat gun, in an oven or autoclave, or they can be shrunk during the dip and bake cycle. The actual shrinkage that you require will dictate which method you should choose. With 100% polyester tapes, the amount of overlap (especially on curves) will need to be formulated by your engineering depart ment so that the correct buildup can be maintained.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Uses
Polyester yarn is used in both the warp and filling direction of these selvage edge tapes. Very sharp corners and compound curves can be wound without buckling or puckering. A very tight wrap is obtained since this tape shrinks in both the longitudinal and transverse directions.
