Definition of mica tape
Mica tape is a high-temperature-resistant insulation tape made from high-quality mica materials. It is ideally suited as a heating and insulating material and retains its dielectric strength consistently up to 380 °C. The non-combustible glass silk carrier meets the highest safety standards.
The tape is available in various sizes and wattages and is typically offered with a voltage of 220 V.
