Key Features

High Adhesive Force - Strong rubber-based adhesive system provides exceptional bonding strength to cables, wires, and harness components, ensuring secure attachment that won't peel or separate in demanding automotive environments.

Automotive Engine Compartment Rated - Specifically engineered for use in harsh automotive engine bay conditions with resistance to heat, vibration, oils, and mechanical stress for reliable long-term performance.

Non-Abrasive Polyester Fabric - Soft, non-abrasive fabric construction protects wire insulation from damage during installation and throughout service life, preventing chafing and insulation wear that could lead to electrical failures.

Flexible and Easy to Handle - Excellent conformability allows tape to wrap smoothly around complex harness shapes, tight bends, and irregular wire bundles with minimal effort for professional-quality results.

High Mechanical Stability - Superior tensile strength and mechanical properties maintain tape integrity under vibration, temperature cycling, and physical stress without tearing, stretching, or degrading over time.

Professional Black Finish - Clean black colour provides professional OEM-quality appearance that blends seamlessly with automotive wiring harnesses and electrical components for factory-style installations.

25-Metre Roll Length - Extended 25-metre length provides sufficient tape for multiple harness projects or large installation jobs, reducing waste and ensuring consistent supply throughout work.

Optimal 19mm Width - Standard 19mm width perfectly sized for automotive cable harnessing applications, providing complete coverage and secure wrapping without excessive bulk or waste.

0.18mm Thickness - Thin profile minimizes harness bulk while maintaining strength and protection, allowing wrapped harnesses to fit through grommets, clips, and tight routing paths.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this tape be used in the engine compartment?

A: Yes! The CHEM8514 is specifically designed for automotive engine compartment use. It's engineered to withstand high temperatures, vibration, oils, and mechanical stress commonly found in engine bay environments, making it ideal for cable harnessing applications where standard tapes would fail.

Q: Will this tape damage wire insulation?

A: No. The non-abrasive polyester fabric construction is specifically designed to protect wire insulation from damage. Unlike plastic electrical tape which can become brittle and abrasive over time, the soft fabric material prevents chafing and insulation wear throughout the harness service life.

Q: How much tape do I need for a typical wiring harness?

A: Requirements vary based on harness length and complexity. As a general guide, a simple 2-3 metre harness typically requires 5-8 metres of tape with 50% overlap wrapping technique. Complex harnesses with multiple branches may require 10-15 metres. The 25-metre roll provides sufficient length for most projects with material to spare.

Q: Is this tape easy to tear by hand?

A: Yes. Despite its high mechanical stability and strength when applied, the fabric construction allows easy tearing by hand without requiring scissors or cutting tools. This makes installation faster and more convenient, especially when working in confined engine compartment spaces.

Q: Can this tape be removed and repositioned during installation?

A: While the strong rubber-based adhesive provides excellent bonding, the tape can be carefully repositioned during initial application if needed. However, once fully applied and pressed, the high adhesive force makes removal difficult. Plan your wrapping technique before application for best results.
