Plastic coated steel tape, also known as laminated steel tape, copolymer-coated steel tape, or ECCS tape, is a widely used composite functional material in modern optical cables, communication cables, and control cables. As a key structural component in both optical and electrical cable designs, it is made by coating one or both sides of an electrolytic chrome-coated steel tape or stainless steel tape with polyethylene (PE) or copolymer plastic layers, through precise coating and slitting processes. It provides excellent water-blocking, moisture-proof, and shielding performance.
In cable structures, plastic coated steel tape is typically applied longitudinally to work in conjunction with the outer sheath, forming a three-dimensional protective barrier that effectively enhances the cable's mechanical strength and durability in complex environments. The material features a smooth surface and uniform thickness, excellent tensile strength, heat sealing properties, and flexibility. It is also highly compatible with cable filling compounds, fiber units, and sheath materials, ensuring long-term operational stability and safety.
To meet different application needs, we offer various structural forms of plastic coated steel tape, including single-sided or double-sided coated ECCS or stainless steel tape with either copolymer or polyethylene layers. Different types of coatings significantly influence the material's heat sealing performance, adhesion, and environmental adaptability. In particular, copolymer-coated products can maintain good bonding even under low-temperature conditions, making them suitable for cable structures that require high sealing performance. Additionally, for better cable flexibility, we can provide embossed (corrugated) versions to enhance the cable's bending performance.
This product is widely used in outdoor optical cables, submarine cables, communication cables, and control cables, especially in scenarios requiring high water-blocking capacity and structural strength. Plastic coated ECCS tapes are generally green in color, while stainless steel tapes retain their natural metallic appearance, making it easy to distinguish material types and applications. We can also customize the tape's thickness, width, coating type, and color based on customer requirements to meet different cable manufacturers' process and performance demands.
With stable performance, reliable protection, and excellent process adaptability, our plastic coated steel tape has been widely applied in numerous high-performance cable projects and is trusted by customers worldwide.
