 | | Interestingly, the original standard vinyl electrical tape was yellow, followed by white, and finally the familiar fl, because it performed better in ultraviolet rich sunlight, and electricians liked that it was the same color as the familiar old friction tape. |
 | | Mylar is a 130° C class tape, usable probably up to near 300° F. Mylar tape usually has a thermosetting rubber adhesive system which exhibits superior tackiness (stickiness), but some, often in the white backing color, is made with a slightly less tacky acrylic thermosetting adhesive system. |
 | | Polyimide tape is available with either acrylic or silicone adhesive systems, with the acrylic backed tape usable to about 300° F, and silicone backed to 500° F. Again, because the acrylic and silicone adhesives used are both thermosetting, maximum adhesion and solvent resistance is achieved after heat curing, but curing is not usually necessary. |
