Abstract

A PE/EPDM environment friendly blend was processed via a critical method to an elastic film backing imitating conventional PVC electrical insulation tape. The film backing was surface treated, coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive, dried, and unwound in sequence to become an electrical insulation tape for evaluation. The evaluation procedure was according to authoritative electrical insulation tape standard UL-510. The general physical properties and the unique characteristics of samples, composed of different materials, were tested. PE/EPDM was qualified to meet most of the requirements for UL-510 except exposure to heat. Among other characteristics, exposure to cold test, breakdown voltage, and flame resistance of PE/EPDM were significant. Therefore, an environment friendly PE/EPDM electrical insulation tape is well suited to low temperature and room temperature environments.
