With worldwide growth in infrastructure and communications, the market is growing for power, plenum, co-axial (CATV), and fiber optic cables. As cables become more sophisticated, cable suppliers are looking for innovations that will protect and enhance the performance of their products.

With our proprietary KWIRE® product line, KT has been providing specialty tapes to the wire & cable industry since 1968. We supply a wide range of tapes for shielding, wrapping cores, strengthening, and identification. For customers with their own tape products, we provide custom slitting and spooling services or we will supply converting equipment for their internal use.

New Product Development

By responding to and anticipating market needs, our R&D group has developed many unique products for our customers. For example, we offer a swellable tape called K-BLOCK®, which is water blocking tape for conventional or fiber optic telecommunication cables. This innovative tape is made from an absorbent polymer impregnated substrate that prevents moisture migration in the cable.

Flexibility in product and package design

With in-house capability to color print, coat, and laminate, KT can process a wide variety of substrates and design tapes to meet specific performance requirements. KT uses both gravure and letterpress printing processes for high definition reproduction on marker and identification tapes.

We have the flexibility to deliver material in single-width pancake rolls or long length Step-Pac® spools.
