Tape Specifications and Features
Solvent based natural rubber adhesives are used in carton sealing PVC tapes, and Polypropylene tapes. Natural rubber adhesives bond well to a variety of materials including leather, fabrics, and paper. Polypropylene natural rubber adhesive tapes are also known as cold room tapes. They can withstand temperatures 0-150 degrees F. These tapes have good water resistance and have been specifically made to adhere to recycled corrugated. They have a quiet unwind and make excellent packaging tape. Because rubber is non-conductive, electrical tapes often use a natural rubber adhesive.

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.
The applications of black PVC electrical tape are numerous. One of its primary functions is insulation. Electricians use it to wrap exposed wires and connections, helping to prevent short circuits and protect against electrical shocks. Its high dielectric strength ensures that it can handle the demands of various voltage levels, making it a reliable choice for residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
