Its key features:

• Resistance to ionizing radiation (alpha, beta, gamma)
• Extended temperature resistance
• Low particle emission, suitable for clean and controlled zones
• High mechanical tensile and tear strength
• Immediate adhesion to metals, plastics, and painted surfaces
• Compliance with the requirements of nuclear power plants and research laboratories

This tape is typically used for zone marking, temporary containment, securing protective coverings, and signage in radioactive environments.

Comparison: AT0712 versus other cloth adhesive tapes on the market

The market for cloth adhesive tapes is vast. They are not all equal, especially when discussing nuclear environments.

The AT0712 stands out for its compliance with the requirements of nuclear sites. This is its primary selection criterion, whereas most standard cloth tapes have no suitable certification.

Product	Backing	Adhesive	Thermal resistance	Nuclear use	Hand tear
AT0712	High-density woven cloth	Natural rubber	Up to 60 °C	✔ Yes	✔ Yes
Standard cloth tape (general use)	Standard woven cloth	Synthetic rubber	Up to 40 °C	✘ No	✔ Yes
Aluminum cloth tape (e.g., 3M 3381)	Cloth + aluminum film	Acrylic	Up to 120 °C	✘ No	✘ No
High-resistance PVC tape	PVC film	Acrylic	Up to 80 °C	✘ No	✘ No

A classic cloth tape is suitable for construction or general industry. But in a nuclear zone, you need a qualified and traceable product.

The AT0712 meets this requirement. It is designed not to emit undesirable compounds under irradiation, unlike tapes with PVC backing or standard acrylic adhesive.

Its hand-tearability is a real advantage in the field. No need for cutting tools in a controlled zone, where every extra piece of equipment is a constraint.

At Dagobert Industrie, we offer the AT0712 specifically for teams that cannot afford to use a non-qualified product in sensitive environments.

Standards, certifications, and PMUC compliance of the AT0712

The AT0712 nuclear cloth tape is designed to meet the strict requirements of nuclear facilities. In this sector, an adhesive cannot be used without prior validation.

PMUC (Prescriptions de Matériels Utilisés en Centrale - Specifications for Materials Used in Power Plants) compliance is the essential prerequisite for any material entering the perimeter of a French nuclear power plant. The AT0712 meets this regulatory framework.

This qualification involves rigorous testing: resistance to ionizing radiation, heat resistance, behavior in humid environments, and absence of halogenated compounds that could cause stress corrosion.

Criteria typically verified for this type of tape include:

• Resistance to gamma radiation and high cumulative doses
• Absence of silicone and halogenated substances
• Mechanical integrity maintained after exposure to nuclear conditions
• Complete documentary traceability (technical sheets, certificates of compliance)
• Compatibility with decontamination procedures

At Dagobert Industrie, we provide the technical documentation associated with the AT0712. Each batch comes with traceability guaranteeing compliance with the requirements of your quality and safety departments.

For any work in a nuclear zone, using a non-PMUC qualified tape exposes you to documentary non-compliance and operational risks. The AT0712 eliminates this risk.
