Description

Copolymer Coated Aluminum Tape (also known as Copolymer Aluminium Tape or EAA Coated Aluminum Tape) is a high-performance shielding and waterproofing material manufactured by RLB for use in communication cables, shielding cables, and waterproof cables. It consists of a high-quality aluminum tape coated on one or both sides with an adherent ethylene copolymer (EAA) layer in clear or blue color, providing excellent electrical shielding, moisture barrier properties, and long-term cable protection.

Best Tape for Faced Insulation Seams

Main Applications

Copolymer coated aluminum tape is widely used as:

  • Shielding layer in communication cables, coaxial cables, and data cables to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Waterproof layer in underground, aerial, and submarine cables for superior moisture resistance.
  • Composite shielding in power cables, optical fiber cables, and specialty cables requiring both electrical and environmental protection.

Its dual functionality makes it an essential component in modern cable manufacturing for high-reliability telecommunication and power transmission networks.

Composition and Structure

The product features a base aluminum tape (thickness 0.08–0.50 mm) uniformly coated with an ethylene acrylic acid (EAA) copolymer layer (0.03–0.10 mm) on one or both sides. The copolymer provides strong adhesion to the aluminum substrate and excellent compatibility with cable sheath materials, ensuring reliable bonding during extrusion and long-term performance.

Key Advantages

  • Superior Shielding Performance: High conductivity and low dielectric constant deliver excellent EMI/RFI shielding.
  • Outstanding Waterproofing: The EAA copolymer layer creates a robust moisture barrier with proven water and filler/flood resistance.
  • High Mechanical Strength: Tensile strength ≥65 MPa and elongation ≥15% ensure durability during cable processing and installation.
  • Excellent Adhesion & Sealability: Peel strength ≥6.13 N/cm and heat seal strength ≥17.5 N/cm guarantee strong bonding and leak-proof performance.
  • Corrosion & Environmental Resistance: Grade 7 corrosion resistance and no delamination after 168 hours at 68°C in filler/flood or water tests.
  • Dielectric Integrity: No breakdown under DC 1 kV testing on two-side coated versions.
