Our rubberized tape is non-hazardous and non-toxic under normal temperatures and storage conditions and it meets industry-based standards for development and production. We provide Safety Data Sheets and Technical Data Sheets (technical information on the chemical formulations used rubber tape manufacturing), and safety guidelines and regulations with each order. In addition, we offer technical support on all our products.
Polyethylene, polyester, and polyimide are three different types of carrier materials used in adhesive tapes, each with its own advantages and characteristics.
In addition to being built differently than other tapes, most electrical tapes used by professionals are UL Listed, which means that they have been vigorously tested for performance when exposed to environmental elements, such as cold temperature, moisture, and sunlight. UL Listed electrical tapes are also tested for physical properties, including backing strength, elongation, and adhesive strength and must meet a high standard in order to qualify for the listing. UL Listings exist for many other types of tape – such as foil and film HVAC tapes – but each listing revolves around the specific type of tape in question. So, while your foil tape may meet UL Listing requirements for sealing rigid ducts in HVAC applications, it would not meet the code if used in an electrical application.

Manufacturers of butyl rubber tape invest heavily in research and development to maintain their edge in the industry. They continuously explore new formulations that enhance the performance of the tape, making it even more adaptable to diverse environments and application needs. For instance, some have developed butyl tapes with enhanced adhesion or modified thicknesses to cater to specific customer requirements.Key Features and Benefits
What is Insulation Tape?
Despite its thin width, 3mm electrical tape is durable and resistant to wear and tear. It can withstand high temperatures, moisture, and UV exposure without deteriorating or losing its adhesive properties. This makes it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor applications, where weather and environmental conditions may vary.
The tape fuses or seals itself to create a waterproof and airtight layer when stretched and wrapped around objects.
In addition to its fire-resistant properties, non-flammable tape is also highly durable and long-lasting. It is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, moisture, and chemical exposure, making it a reliable choice for outdoor and industrial applications. When using PVC tape for electrical insulation, it is important to follow proper installation procedures to ensure its effectiveness and durability. Before applying the tape, make sure the surfaces are clean and dry to ensure good adhesion. Wrap the tape tightly around the wires or cables, overlapping each layer to create a solid insulation barrier. Trim any excess tape with scissors or a knife to ensure a neat finish.PVC Electrical Insulation A Versatile Solution for Many Applications
Black PVC electrical tape is a type of adhesive tape made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic plastic polymer. It is designed specifically for electrical insulation and protection. The tape is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive that ensures strong bonding with various surfaces, which is critical for creating secure electrical connections.
