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.
 

Butyl rubber tape is also incredibly flexible and easy to apply. It can be cut to size and shaped to fit various contours and surfaces. This adaptability makes it a favorite among DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Applying the tape typically requires no special tools; even those with minimal experience can achieve a reliable seal by simply cleaning the surface and pressing the tape into place.

So if you’re looking for an electrical tape that can withstand high temperatures, make sure to check the specifications before you buy.

Some common applications of butyl rubber tape include using it for window and door installations, sealing gutters, fixing automotive leaks, and even in HVAC systems to create airtight seals. In the construction industry, contractors often use it for flashing around windows and roofs to prevent leaks during construction and in finished structures.

Insulation tape is a type of electrical tape used primarily to insulate electrical wires and prevent short circuits. It is typically made from a flexible plastic material, often PVC, that is resistant to electrical currents, moisture, and abrasion. The red insulation tape, in particular, provides a distinctive color coding that makes it easily identifiable in various settings.
