PSP Mylar Repair Tape

Product Information

Heavy Duty Sail Repair Tape: This is an adhesive polyamide fabric sail repair tape. It is resistant to seawater and to various weather conditions. Mylar A, derived primarily from ethylene glycol and dimethyl terephthalate, is a common ingredient in a variety of applications. Since it first appeared in the early 1950s, the material has been used in hundreds of segments to add value to products. Main Tales: Like tell-tales that fit genoa luffs these tapes should be fitted at intervals along the leech of the mainsail. In this way, you’ll be able to trim the mainsail when sailing upwind or on a reach. Dacron Sail Repair Patch: These are available in different colors. They contain two sailcloth patches for application to either side of the sail for a larger repair.

Kevlar Sail Repair Tape/Patch: A high performance and emergency Kevlar/Mylar laminate tape for strong repairs to racing sails. The Kevlar patch contains 2 strong kevlar patches to apply on either side when repairing a laminate racing sail.Mylar® isone of the world’s most recognized and widely used polyester films.Because of its popularity, the term “Mylar” is often used when referring generally to plastic film.However,Mylar®is actually the name of a popular PET film brand that belongs to the family of polyester brands from DuPont Teijin Films™which also includes Melinex ® .Mylar® is abiaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BoPET), meaning it is stretched in two directions to give it exceptional tensile strength. Tekra Offers Mylar® Film Rolls and Sheets Tekra is an authorized distributor of DuPont Teijin Films™, and we offer product innovation, market knowledge and technical expertise. We welcome the opportunity to better understand your polyester requirements, and will provide both technical & commercial guidance for matching the right film to your specifications. First and foremost, the environmental conditions must be taken into account. Often Mylar A is coated or similarly treated on one or both sides to enhance its various properties. This can either be an improvement in the adhesive properties or the conductivity. This treatment offers various properties that cannot be achieved with the usual pre-treatment methods. However, most people are unaware of the costs that come with this convenience.

Additionally, the Mylar A grade refers to another category of material used as a general purpose film and is comparatively more translucent. This material has a comparatively higher tensile strength, giving it better resistance to moisture. This is a much better value than most other chemicals that cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of up to 150°C.

insulation – Mylar A is also used in applications that involve insulation. This is due to its construction as a reflective and metalized metal foil on the surface. This Mylar variant reflects large amounts of light and is comparatively less gas permeable. This is the main reason it is used for electrical insulation. On the other hand, if kept in a cold environment with lower temperatures, the material can also be used as a structure that reflects its shiny surface with a warm interior. The exponential growth of its use in recent decades depends heavily on its natural properties. In addition to being transparent, the material is an excellent electrical insulator, making it a far better material than the available substitutes. Because Mylar A possesses these qualities along with the versatility required, there is no shortage of applications it can be used for! Let's take a look at how the whole process works. The first steps involve the extrusion of polyethylene terephthalate on a cold-rolled drum to produce the base film. This material is then machine stretched and then adjusted in the cross direction. The film for Mylar A is then fed over the rollers at exponentially increased speed to direct it into a burning flame where it is squared.

Kite Tape: A tear-resistant adhesive rip-stop nylon that comes in many different colors and within a roll of 150mm width. It is the best emergency solution if you notice a small tear in your sail or kite. As a material that is transparent by nature, Mylar A finds its application in many different industries and segments than the usual areas. But have you ever wondered what other industries make extensive use of Mylar A? emergency blankets – The most important application of Mylar A is in rescue blankets due to its insulating properties. It is a commonly used body temperature stabilization material in areas where no other measures are available. The material is also used in outdoor survival kits, where the requirements are usually higher than usual. It has been over 40 years since the material was introduced, but the needs it has met are valuable. Mylar A is one of the most promising materials we have today. This is due to the bundle of physical, chemical, thermal and optical properties it possesses. It has come a long way from an excellent balance of features to a great range of performance capabilities. Spinnaker Repair Tape: This tape is perfect for emergency spinnaker and kite repairs. They can also prevent any further damage and they keep you safe on the water before making a permanent repair.Another question that might come to mind is the base material of Mylar A. Well, these polyester films are basically made of polyethylene terephthalate. Although technically the process that follows the production and manufacture of this strain is not very difficult to understand. The high performance properties of Mylar A may or may not apply to these processes and treatments. Because of this, there can be a significant reduction in potency when exposed to extremes of temperature/humidity. The polyester film Mylar® A is tensile and tear-resistant and has excellent electrical properties. This material has good resistance to heat, cold and common solvents. The other properties of Mylar A differ significantly from the physical properties as they serve the electrical components. These include the dielectric strength, the volume resistivity, the dissipation factor and the dielectric constant. These parameters are defined in terms of their ethical value units and the test methods used to test them. Therefore, the applicability of grades such as Mylar A and their use depends on the electrical and physical property requirements of each.
