The primary tapes used in electrical applications are vinyl, rubber, mastic, and varnished cambric. These products have been used in electrical work for many years, are code approved, and conform to key industry standards, including UL 520, ASTM D1000, and CSA 22.2. The Table below lists the primary uses for each of these types of tape.

Electrical Control Boxes

We are pleased to stock a number of different self-fusing tapes. All are electrically insulating though some are often used for sealing work (e.g. fixing a leaking hose) in addition to electrical applications. 

The interface is the display component that gives you access to your control box. It allows you to set your control box or even perform diagnostics. Typical control box interfaces come in the form of switches and boxes. However, there are advanced interfaces that include touchscreens.

The primary use of 50mm black insulation tape is in the electrical industry. Electricians often use it to insulate exposed wire connections, preventing shorts and protecting against electric shocks. The tape's thickness and adhesive qualities allow it to not only insulate but also to secure wires tightly, preventing them from moving or becoming exposed over time. Its heat and cold resistance make it suitable for use in various environments, whether indoors or outdoors.
