What are Wiring Loom Tape?

Wiring loom tape, also known as wire loom harness tape, fleece tape or electrical harness tape, is a specialised adhesive tape designed specifically for bundling, securing and protecting wiring assemblies. It is widely recognised for its superior flexibility, durability and resistance to environmental vibrations.

Composed of soft polyester material with a rubber-based adhesive, our wiring loom tape ensures a robust and reliable bond that maintains the integrity of electrical wiring looms.

Unlike duct tape, electrical loom tape is engineered to provide optimal performance in challenging conditions. The combination of materials makes it perfect for environments that require both physical protection and electrical insulation.

How Automotive Wiring Loom Tape Works.

Wiring loom fleece tape operates by wrapping securely around wire bundles, creating an organised and protected harness. Its adhesive properties ensure that it remains in place even under the stress of high temperatures and vibrations. This capability makes it indispensable in several industries, including automotive, aerospace and electronics.

For instance, automotive loom tape is commonly used to secure the extensive wiring systems within vehicles. By doing so, it prevents wires from becoming tangled, chafed or exposed to snagging risks, which could lead to electrical failures. In real-life applications, such as under the dashboard of a car, car loom tape provides a clean and professional installation, ensuring that all wires are neatly bundled and protected from abrasion.

What Material Wiring Loom Tapes Are Made From.

Accu's cloth loom tapes are predominantly made from soft polyester combined with a rubber-based adhesive. The soft polyester provides excellent abrasion resistance and flexibility, allowing the tape to conform to various shapes and surfaces without tearing. The rubber-based adhesive ensures strong adhesion to the wires and itself, maintaining a secure bond even in high-temperature environments.

The benefits of these materials are significant. Polyester's inherent durability and heat resistance make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Meanwhile, the rubber-based adhesive offers strong, long-lasting adhesion without leaving a residue, which is particularly advantageous during maintenance or repairs.

What Size and Type Wiring Loom Tapes Are Available.

At Accu, we offer a standard cloth wire loom tape with a width of 19mm, a roll length of 25 meters and a thickness of 0.3mm. These dimensions provide ample coverage for most wiring projects while ensuring ease of handling and storage among your toolkit essentials.

By incorporating wiring loom tape into your projects, you ensure organised, protected, and reliable wiring installations. Whether for simple home wiring needs or complex industrial applications, our range of loom tapes offers the performance and dependability you require.

FAQs.

Q: What do you wrap a wire loom with?.

A: Wire looms are typically wrapped with wiring loom tape, designed for securing and protecting wiring assemblies. This tape offers flexibility, durability and resistance to environmental factors, keeping wires organised and safe from damage.

Q: What is the best tape for electrical wiring?.

A: The best tape for electrical wiring is electrical harness tape or electrical tape. These tapes provide excellent insulation, flexibility and durability. They are ideal for preventing electrical shorts and protecting against snags and abrasion.

Q: Is harness tape the same as electrical tape?.

A: Harness tape and electrical tape serve similar functions but are not the same. Harness tape is designed for bundling and protecting wire harnesses, offering greater flexibility and durability. Electrical tape is primarily used for basic electrical insulation.
