Scapa has developed a novel cloth protection tape for the automotive industry.
Unlike foam and felt tapes, Scapa 3510 is a linerless, nonwoven polyester tape.
Hand-tearable and easy to handle, Scapa 3510 offers a versatile, cost-effective alternative to standard foams and felts.
The tape is environmentally compatible too; it contains zero halogen and the lack of a liner means reduced waste for disposal.
Commonly used for manually wrapping electrical cables either lengthways or by overlapping, application of Scapa 3510 is quick and easy.
As a result - throughput in production processes is increased.
Scapa 3510 additionally offers good resistance to abrasion and fluid with excellent ageing characteristics for consistent sound attenuation performance throughout the product's lifespan.
Available in 9, 15, 19 and 25mm widths, Scapa 3510 is only 0.55mm thick, but still provides excellent sound attenuation properties, dampening sound in vehicles by up to 12.5dB.
In addition, its resistance to temperatures reaching 125C (thermal class 3), makes it ideal for insulating electrical cables.
