Types of Heat Tape

Low temperatures – vinyl electrical tape is effective at temperatures between -10°C and 80°C (15°F-175°F), whereas PVC electrical tape is capable of withstanding temperatures as low as -45°C (-50°F). For this reason, PVC tape is the preferred choice for outdoor tasks in cold weather situations.

For all intents and purposes, modified acrylics have the same characteristics as pure acrylics, but have superior adhesion to the hard-to-bond-plastics mentioned above. Generally, these are more expensive than pure acrylics and are used for plastic bonding (including vinyl and linoleum), lamination and splicing.
