Corrosion resistance – the dielectric strength of electrical tape is a measure of its electrical strength as an insulator. Vinyl electrical tape is available with differing dielectric strength making it ideal to use for insulating high-voltage wires over extended periods of time. By comparison, PVC electrical tape can be used in similar situations but care should be taken that its dielectric strength is sufficient to insulate active wires.

Application Scenarios: Both tapes are designed with safety in mind, but which one to choose may depend on specific repair needs and environmental factors, Silicone self-adhesive tape is mainly used in electrical insulation, plumbing repairs, wire wrapping, and automotive wire sealing, while the rubber repair tape is mainly used for plumbing and bucket repairs.
Safety and Compliance

The growing awareness and emphasis on fire safety in construction are driving more manufacturers to innovate in this space. As a result, the market for fire-resistant drywall products, including tapes, is becoming increasingly diverse. Builders have numerous options to choose from, allowing them to tailor their selections based on specific project needs, local building codes, and safety standards.
Silicone tape has almost limitless applications, including:
For first aid, to make splints and to secure dressings
This tape can be used for wire identification, seaming and splicing of films, and surface protection. Available colors are clear, black, white, and red. Widths range from one-fourth of an inch (6 millimeters) to 44 inches (1,118 millimeters).
We keep this tape in just the one size: 25mm Wide x 9 Metre Long rolls.
What is Polyethylene Tape used for?
Features of self-amalgamating tape
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.
Fire seal tape is an intumescent material, meaning it expands when exposed to heat. This unique property allows the tape to seal joints and gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings, preventing smoke and flames from spreading between compartments. Commonly made from materials like silicone or other fire-resistant compounds, fire seal tape can withstand high temperatures and maintain its integrity under extreme conditions.
Size: 3m x 25mm (0.5mm thick)

Heat and water-resistant
Since it’s an affable tape, it’s popular amongst electricians. It adheres easily and can get manipulated to fit in tight spaces and around oddly shaped materials. Mastic tape is a highly revered choice for outdoor wiring needs, as it has excellent moisture and UV resistant capabilities.
The rubber is water-resistant, a highly appreciated perk to those working in humid environments. Rubber tape is usually used for splicing and terminating wires or cables up to 69 kilovolts.
