HALOGEN FREE POLYMER COMPOSITIONS AND TAPES AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

Provided is a composition having a halogen-free polymeric material, a halogen-free flame retardant, and a coupling agent. Also provided is a method of making a tape containing the steps of forming the previously recited composition into a backing; and applying an adhesive to a surface of the backing to form the tape. When the tape is tested using UL 510 (7^th Ed.), it has at least one of the physical properties: an elongation at break of at least 60%; a tensile strength at break of at least 1500 psi; a dielectric strength of at least 1,000 V per mil of tape thickness; an average adhesion strength of at least 0.175 N/mm; and a retention of at least 90% of an original average dielectric strength after the tape is conditioned for 96 hours in air with a temperature of 23.0° C. and a relative humidity of 96%.
