Solvent resistant tapes are made of two components: a carrier, which is usually paper, plastic, cloth or rubber, and an adhesive, which is a solvent based.

Solvent resistant tape had high dielectric strength and all the physical and electrical properties remain stable even in high temperature environments.

Solvent resistant tapes are used in applications such as coils, harnesses and capacitors that undergo extreme temperature variations.

They are designed to be used on high visibility garments. At the cut ends of the tape, the tape is turned under itself and sewn through the doubled over edge, this helps prevent moisture ingress. In the garments also the cut ends should be inside the seams of the garment.
