Polyester woven
fabric tape.
White polyester woven fabric for binding and separating cable components where stronger mechanical restraint is required.
INTERLACED POLYESTER YARNSMaterial construction.
Interlaced polyester yarns form a strong fabric wrap. The CHB range offers higher specified tensile strength than the CWB nonwoven range, making it a useful choice where a laid-up core needs firmer restraint through subsequent manufacturing stages.
A coherent fabric wrap for stronger binding.
Supports firmer mechanical holding through production.
A textile interface between cable components.

Woven or nonwoven?
Choose woven when higher binding strength and firmer core restraint are the main requirements. Choose nonwoven when a thinner, lighter, more conformable separator meets the mechanical duty.
Compare the actual grade values and validate the wrap on your line.
Explore polyester nonwoven fabric| Selection factor | Woven / CHB | Nonwoven / CWB |
|---|---|---|
| Primary reason to choose | Higher binding strength and firmer core restraint | Thin, lightweight, conformable bedding and separation |
| Nominal thickness | 0.14–0.22 mm | 0.05–0.20 mm |
| Nominal mass | 90–150 g/m² | 25–70 g/m² |
| Specified tensile minima | 120–280 N/cm across grades | 25–50 N/cm across grades |
| Processing trade-off | Higher tensile capacity; verify stiffness and slit-edge behaviour | Lower tensile capacity; use tension suited to the selected grade |
Comparison is specific to these CTUK ranges. Other nonwoven products can use scrim reinforcement and have different mechanical properties. Tensile figures are not a direct like-for-like test comparison because the CHB method and test direction are unspecified.

Control tension and overlap to retain the core without damaging underlying components. Keep the material clean and dry; validate compatibility with the sheath compound and subsequent processing.
