Lacing Tape

Western Filament produces lacing tapes which are flat braids manufactured from continuous filament yarns in accordance to CID AA52080-AA52084 (formerly MIL-T-43435B), and can be tailored to meet all industry specifications. Types of lacing tapes include:

  • Flat Braided Tapes: Lacing/spot tying construction designed to provide maximum strength with minimum space requirements, increased gripping area, and superior impregnation characteristics. Flat braided tapes are specified for military, aerospace, commercial, electrical, and electronic manufacturers.

  • Round Twisted Twines: Round twisted constructions have established high industry acceptance and are used primarily by electrical and non-flight hardware producers. They provide less “gripping” area on the bundle and do not accept impregnation as completely as flat tapes.

  • Non-Braided Flat Tapes: Nylon Mono-Ty constructions are a low cost non-braided material for use in commercial harnessing applications, electronics, and non-flight hardware. Oriented Nylon fibers are formed into a flat ribbon-like construction impregnated with microcrystalline wax.
