Polyethylene film tape (63536) is 9 mils thick — the thickest polyethylene film tape available. Its applications include:
Vinyl tape forms the final outer layer and serves several important functions in addition to electrical insulation, including abrasion protection, corrosion resistance, UV resistance, and protection from chemicals including alkalis and acids. Conformable vinyl tape is tougher than the softer, stickier surfaces of rubber, mastic, and putty tapes it protects.


For applications that require a higher level of water resistance or waterproofing, specialized tapes or additional measures may be necessary. It’s recommended to assess the specific requirements of your application and consider the expected level of water exposure to determine whether polyethylene tape alone provides sufficient water resistance or if additional waterproofing measures are necessary.
In a typical tape splice, you’ll tug and pull out the tape, stretching it to just before the breaking point. The tape’s width narrows to about 1/3rd of its original size. The tape’s length increases; your hand travels very quickly up to 20” away from where you started. Quite often you’ll be wrapping in a tight location making this even more difficult. Proper taping techniques are critical to realizing the many performance benefits of rubber tape.
