Electrical wiring and phasing tasks call for a specific type of tape – electrical tape – in order to safely get the job done. But what exactly is it that makes electrical tapes so different from duct tapes, polyethylene film tapes, and others?
7. Easy to use: a layer of Self Fusing tape can play a good insulation role and reduce labor and cost.
The Versatility of Flex Tape A Comprehensive Review
Rubber tapes are generally non-adhesive, and are either equipped with a liner or are linerless. Stretched and overlapped layers will fuse or bond together to form an effective electrical insulation and moisture barrier. For low-voltage (1000V or less) applications, rubber tapes should be stretched during wrapping so that tape width is reduced to approximately 75%. For high- and medium-voltage applications — where the electrical stresses are high (e.g. connector areas, lug areas, and cable shield cut-back areas) — tape should be stretched just short of its breaking point.
When you think of types of electrical tape, you probably imagine it in black. However, manufacturers produce electrical insulation tape in almost every color of the rainbow. The varying colors indicate voltage protection and insulation. It’s vital to use the right colored tape—an incorrect tape color puts technicians at risk of insufficient voltage shielding:
3. Sealing moisture-proof performance: the main material of this product is silicone rubber. Water vapor will not penetrate through silicone tape. It has excellent moisture-proof performance and realizes effective insulation;


Foam tapes can be used for padding, bonding, sealing, insulation, and mounting applications.
