  • Patent number: 12674018
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tape comprising an epoxy based resin having ester groups and ethylenically unsaturated groups, alternatively a hybrid resin. The tape of the invention can be used for insulation in electrical machines, especially in high voltage machines. Preferably, the tape of the invention is used in combination with a composition for impregnating and/or coating a substrate comprising the tape of the invention, wherein the composition further comprises a second epoxy based resin having ester groups and ethylenically unsaturated groups, also an hybrid resin, a diluent and an initiator for a radical polymerization.
