1/2″ WIDE HIGH HEAT TAPE

1/2″ Wide High Heat Tape – Kapton Polyimide Tape for Motorsport Wiring and Thermal Protection

The 1/2″ Wide High Heat Tape is a professional-grade polyimide (Kapton) tape designed for high-temperature wiring protection, harness bundling, and thermal management in motorsport and performance automotive applications. At 1/2 inch (12.7mm) wide, this tape is ideal for wrapping individual wire bundles, covering heat-sensitive harness sections in engine bay routing, and providing thermal insulation at connector and junction points in race cars and performance vehicles across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

Why High Heat Tape Is Essential in Motorsport Wiring

Standard PVC electrical tape degrades rapidly at the temperatures found in the engine bays of turbocharged and rotary performance vehicles – losing adhesion, becoming brittle, and ultimately failing to protect the wiring it was applied to. Polyimide high heat tape maintains its adhesive performance, flexibility, and electrical insulation properties at sustained high temperatures, making it the professional standard for heat-critical harness wrapping, connector insulation, and thermal barrier applications in serious motorsport builds.

Key Specifications

• Width: 1/2″ (12.7mm)
• Material: High-temperature polyimide (Kapton-type)
• Excellent thermal resistance for engine bay and exhaust-adjacent routing
• Good electrical insulation properties
• Flexible and conformable for wrapping irregular harness shapes

Applications in Motorsport Harness Builds

Harness bundle wrapping in high-temperature engine bay locations, covering wire insulation transitions at heat sources, connector body insulation near exhaust and turbocharger areas, and temporary masking during heat shrink operations. Used by motorsport harness builders working on Mazda RX-Series, turbocharged piston engines, and all competition vehicles throughout Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Available in 3/8″, 1/2″, and 1″ widths from Arctic Performance Parts for complete harness coverage.
