Abstract

Highly abrasion-resistant tape, preferably for sheathing elongate material such as more particularly leads or cable looms, having a woven fabric backing, characterized in that the woven fabric is composed of a plastics material, the yarns used to form the fabric have a linear density of 280 to 1100 dtex, and each yarn is constructed from at least 90 single filaments.

Claims (13)

1 . Highly abrasion-resistant tape for sheathing elongate material, comprising a woven fabric backing, comprised of yarns of a plastics material, the yarns having a linear density of 280 to 1100 dtex, and each yarn being constructed from at least 90 single filaments.

2 . Tape according to claim 1 , wherein the yarns are constructed from 90 to 288 single filaments.

3 . Tape according to claim 1 , wherein the woven fabric backing comprises a number of warp threads in the 12 to 45 per cm range.

4 . Tape according to claim 1 , wherein the woven fabric backing comprises a number of weft threads in the 10 to 35 per cm range.

5 . Tape according to claim 1 , wherein the woven fabric backing has a basis weight of 130 to 300 g/m 2 .

6 . Tape according to claim 1 , wherein the yarns of the plastics material of the woven fabric are nylon 6, nylon 6,6, nylon 6,6 heat-stabilized, polyether ketones (PEEK) or polyphenylene sulphides (PPS).

7 . Tape according to claim 1 , wherein the tape exhibits an ultimate tensile strength of more than 500 N/cm and/or an elongation at break between 35% and 65%.

8 . Tape according to claim 1 , which comprises at least one adhesive coating, wherein the adhesive coating is a self-adhesive coating, based on rubber, acrylate or silicone.

9 . A method for wrapping elongate material, said method comprising sheathing the elongate material in an axial direction by a tape, or leading the tape in a helicoidal spiral around the elongate material, wherein the tape is a tape according to claim 1 .

10 . A method of preparing a wrapping composed of a jacket, comprising providing a self-adhesive tape on at least one edge region of the jacket, and bonding the self-adhesive tape to the jacket in such a way that the adhesive tape extends over one of the long edges of the jacket, the jacket or the backing of the adhesive tape, or jacket and backing of the adhesive tape, being formed by the tape, wherein the tape is a tape according to claim 1 .

11 . A method for wrapping, comprising laminating two adhesive tapes by their adhesives to one another, optionally with an offset each of 50%, wherein each of the two adhesive tapes is a tape according to claim 1 .

12 . Elongate material wrapped with a tape according to claim 1 .

13 . Vehicle comprising an elongate material according to claim 12 .
