    ELECTRICAL INSULATION SLEEVING & CORDS

    Tying Cords (Tuff Tape)
    Class H High-Temperature Binding Tape for Motor Rewinding

    Our Tying Cords, also commonly referred to as Tuff Tape, are manufactured from multi-stranded twisted viscose rayon and bonded with a high-temperature flexible resin. Designed for securing coils, insulation and windings during motor rewinding, they combine excellent tensile strength with the flexibility needed to tie securely without slipping.

    Unlike wax-coated tying materials, Tuff Tape grips and binds into itself for a tight, reliable hold. It also splits easily into narrower widths where required, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of electrical insulation applications.

    Available Sizes

    • 4 Strand (3.4 mm wide)
    • 8 Strand (6.8 mm wide)
    • 10 Strand (8.4 mm wide)
    • Supplied in economical 500 metre rolls

    Features & Benefits

    • Class H Temperature Rating: Suitable for electrical insulation systems up to 180°C.
    • High Tensile Strength: Securely ties coils, windings and insulation components.
    • Self-Gripping: Binds tightly into itself without slipping.
    • Easy to Split: Can be separated into narrower strands when required.
    • Flexible & Easy to Use: Ties quickly while maintaining excellent strength.

    Typical Applications

    • Electric motor rewinding
    • Transformer coil tying
    • Securing slot insulation and phase insulation
    • Binding lead wires and coil end windings
    • General electrical insulation assembly
