B1300 / B1600 PET Cloth Tape (Non-tearable)

Overview

Wire harness tape built on a non-tearable PET polyester cloth, coated with a high-performance synthetic rubber adhesive. It is specified where a harness has to survive abrasion, heat and vibration: class D abrasion resistance, class A noise damping (≤2 dB(A)), class B self-extinguishing flame retardancy, low VOC, and a −40°C to 150°C working range (B1300 to 125°C, B1600 to 150°C). Non-tearable cloth tape uses PET polyester fabric as the base material, coated with high-performance adhesive. It features high tack, abrasion resistance and high-temperature resistance, and meets low VOC requirements.

Key features

• Abrasion resistant
• High adhesion
• High temperature resistance

Technical data

Note: The above parameters are typical values for reference only.

Unit conversions for comparison: 1 N/cm = 2.5 N/25mm; 1 N/25mm ≈ 102 g/25mm (1 N = 101.97 gf).

Product advantages

High Adhesion

PET polyester fabric coated with high-performance adhesive offers strong initial and holding tack (steel adhesion 4.5 N/cm) for firm, reliable wrapping.

Abrasion & Scratch Resistance

Tough substrate with high abrasion resistance (Class D, 1000-4999 cycles), built for friction and vibration.

High Temperature Resistance

B1300 rated -40°C to 125°C, B1600 rated -40°C to 150°C - suited to engine compartments and hot environments.

A-Class Noise Damping

A-class noise damping (≤2 dB(A)) effectively suppresses vibration noise from wiring.

B-Class Self-extinguishing Flame Retardancy

B-class self-extinguishing flame retardancy improves safety in electrical and high-temperature environments.

Eco-friendly, Low VOC

Compliant with ROHS2.0 and REACH with low VOC - suitable for enclosed spaces and vehicle interiors.

Application scenarios

Engine Compartment Harness Protection

Designed for key harness locations requiring high temperature and abrasion resistance, such as engine wiring harnesses.

General High-Temp & Wear-Resistant Harness Protection

Suitable for all harness protection scenarios with high temperature and abrasion requirements.

Noise-Sensitive & Low-VOC Environments

A-class noise damping and low VOC make it ideal for vehicle interiors and enclosed electrical equipment sensitive to odor and noise.

Wire harness tape for automotive harness lines

Most B1300 and B1600 volume goes into wire harness tape applications: wrapping main runs, branches and connector legs on automotive harness boards. Where a run crosses a bracket or a body panel, the non-tearable construction keeps the bundle intact under vibration, and the class D abrasion rating is what makes this grade an automotive harness tape rather than a general-purpose cloth tape.

Engine compartment runs use the B1600 grade, which holds 150 °C continuously. For cabin and door harnesses, automotive cloth tape is usually specified for noise damping as much as for abrasion resistance, and this grade covers both.

Electrical Cloth Tape for appliances, motors and panels

The same construction is supplied as Electrical Cloth Tape for appliance, motor and panel work, where a fabric-backed tape has to bundle leads, finish coils and protect cable entries. As a wire cloth tape it holds a bundle together without the adhesive bleeding at elevated temperature, and it can be applied by hand or cut to length on a machine.

Wire wrapping and bundling

As wire wrapping tape it ties cable looms, finishes a wrapped bundle and protects an automotive wire tape run that crosses a sharp edge. The woven backing resists scuffing better than a film tape of the same thickness. Supplied as slit rolls, log rolls and die-cut pieces.

Wire harness tape: common questions

Which grade should I specify for a wire harness tape application?

Start from the temperature at the tape: B1300 for up to 125 °C, B1600 for up to 150 °C. Both carry the same class D abrasion rating and class A noise damping.

Can the same tape be used as electrical cloth tape?

Yes. The construction is the same; only the application differs. Tell us whether the tape is going onto a harness loom or into an appliance, and we will confirm width and core size.

Is it hand-tearable?

No — the B1300 and B1600 are the non-tearable grades, chosen where abrasion protection matters more than wrapping speed. Use the BY1300 if you need a hand-tearable wire harness tape.
