A fiberglass tape is useful in a wide range of applications because of its unique features such as heat resistance, tensile strength, non-corrosive properties, flexibility and non-conductivity. Some industries that use fiberglass tape are health care, automotive, electronics, transportation, aerospace and printing.

Depending on your application needs, you can buy various types of fiberglass tapes. For high speed, overfill and underfill applications, use fiberglass reinforced tape, while for temperature resistance, high adhesion and abrasion resistant, use fiberglass cloth tape. To guide through confined spaces and cavities use fiberglass fish tape. For measuring tapes, fiberglass-measuring tape is a good option because of its greater tensile strength. In addition, you can also buy fiberglass mesh tape, fiberglass-casting tape, fiberglass reinforced tape and fiberglass insulation tape for various applications.

Some important parameters you must consider before buying a fiberglass tape are:

1. Application for which you need fiberglass tape
2. Dimensions of fiberglass tape: length, width and thickness
3. Operating temperature

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy adhesive fiberglass tape for high temperature applications

For adhesive purposes in high temperature environments, a fiberglass high temperature tape is an essential product. In such environments, normal adhesive tapes are unable to form reliable bonds.

I recommend: You can buy an adhesive fiberglass tape including both single and double coated fiberglass tape for high temperature applications from Scapa North America. Gaskets, Inc. is another reputable manufacturer of flexible and insulating fiberglass high temperature tape.

Buy fiberglass cloth tape for safety and insulation needs

Various industries such as gaskets, heaters and boilers use fiberglass cloth to provide insulation to the equipment. A fiberglass cloth also acts as a safety barrier for humans and other equipment.

I recommend: Tape-Rite can provide you with fiberglass cloth tapes that are non-corrosive, non-flammable and non-conductive. United States Plastic Corporation is another distributor of industrial and commercial products that offers fiberglass cloth tape in bulk quantities.

Buy fiberglass tape for reinforcement needs

You can use fiberglass tapes for reinforcement in various industries such as marine, construction and electronics because of the tape's water resistant and chemical resistant properties.

I recommend: Jamestown Distributors, a reputable supplier to the marine industry, provides fiberglass tapes of various dimensions for reinforcement in canoes and kayaks. For reinforcing seams and corners, buy fiberglass cloth tape from Merton's Fiberglass & Marine Supply. MAS Epoxies is a supplier of fiberglass cloth tape used in wooden boats. USG Corporation, a reputable manufacturer of building materials, can provide fiberglass drywall joint tape to provide strength.
