The Only Single Source for ALL Stator Lacing Needs

At Western Filament, Inc., specialists in textiles, chemicals, plastics, and process control combine their skills to produce a complete line of flat and round braided tapes and twisted cords to meet the most stringent stator lacing requirements.

Flat Lacing Tapes

Trouble-free lacing for Stator Tying, Coil Wrapping, and other electrical applications. Shrinks to fit, lays flat, stays in place, and won't snag or fray.

Polyester Tapes (Class F)1
Typical shrinkage 10-11% at 325°F/1 hr.
High tenacity continuous filament braided polyester yarn. Western Filament's DHS tape minimizes snagging, improves the insulation bond, and when coated will not frizz, fray, or unravel.
  Suggested coatings: "CL" Polyurethane, "W" Wax, "X" Untreated (Hermetic Applications)

Kevlar® Tape (Class H)
A high temperature, high strength material from Dupont. Kevlar provides the advantages of fiberglass without causing skin irritation and processing problems. Kevlar is approximately four times stronger than Nomex and will retain 90% of its strength at 482°F.
  Suggested coatings: "CL" Polyurethane, "X" Untreated

Fiberglass Tape (Class H)
Fiberglass, the industry standard for "Class H" applications, is strong, heat resistant, and non-flammable. Maintains 75% of its tensile strength at 650F and is highly resistant to acids and alkalis. It is available in a variety of flat braided constructions.
  Suggested coatings: "CL" Polyurethane, "S" Silicone

Nomex® Tape (Class H)
Dupont's Aramid fibers are braided into a smooth flat tape which is stable at high temperatures, self-extinguishing, and suitable for hermetic or conventional applications.

Polyester/Fiberglass Tape (Class F Plus)
Fiberglass strands are run axially through a flat braided polyster tape to provide extra strength and a thermal overload factor for "Locked-Rotor" and temporary overloads which exceed the softening point of polyester. The softer polyester fibers surround the fiberglass strands to minimize skin irritation and processing problems.
  Suggested coatings: "CL" Polyurethane, "X" Untreated
