3M also makes an electrical tape made of silicone rubber for applications where Class “H” (180°C/356°F) temperatures are encountered i.e., silicone rubber cables.
The tape fuses or seals itself to create a waterproof and airtight layer when stretched and wrapped around objects.
Choosing a Quality Supplier
Elite Tape offers an extensive line of single coated film tapes with a variety of film backings and adhesive systems. Our polyester-silicone tapes are used for splicing silicone coated papers and high temperature masking applications. We offer these in different colors and different thickness’ depending on your application needs. We also offer polyester-acrylic tapes, polyimide-silicone, polyester-acrylic and polyethylene-rubber. All of these products can be procesed in long length machine rolls for continuous processing. We also offer these tapes die-cut in different designs and configurations. There are several applications requiring our single coated film tapes:

Labelling
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.


In the realm of construction and roofing, material selection plays a pivotal role in ensuring longevity, durability, and overall functionality. One material that has gained popularity in recent years is butyl rubber, particularly in the form of roofing sheets. Butyl rubber roofing sheets are increasingly being recognized for their unique combination of properties that make them suitable for various applications, particularly in commercial and industrial settings.
