I've searched but I have never seen binding like this on leads before. What is that called? (infosec.pub)

I wanted to try to rufurbish this tiny electric motor, it sparked and stopped working awhile back, but I don't recognize this tape under the zip ties. If I can't find a 1:1 replacement what would you suggest I replace it with?

Thicker heat shrink would work and the tape is just protecting the solder joints for the coil. TBH, that looks like fiberglass packing tape or even just fiberglass sleeves over the joints. (Fiberglass packing tape wouldn't be my first choice to protect wires like that, but something is better than nothing I suppose.)
