What is insulating tape

Insulating tape refers to the tape used by professional electricians. It is mainly used to prevent leakage and play the role of insulation. Insulating tape, also known as insulating tape, is mainly composed of base tape and pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The base tape is generally made of cotton cloth, synthetic fiber fabric and plastic film, and the adhesive layer is made of rubber and tackifying resin. The adhesive layer has good adhesion performance and high insulation performance. Insulating tape has good insulation, voltage resistance, flame retardant, weather resistance and other characteristics, and is suitable for wire connection, electrical insulation protection and other characteristics. There are three types of electrical insulating tape: 1. Insulating black tape. 2. PVC electrical flame retardant tape. 3. High pressure self-adhesive tape. Insulating black tape only has the function of insulation, but it is neither flame retardant nor waterproof. Now it has been gradually eliminated, and it can only be used on some civilian electrical appliances. PVC electrical flame retardant tape has good insulation, heat resistance, voltage resistance, cold resistance and other characteristics, suitable for wire winding, transformers, motors, capacitors, voltage stabilizers and other types of motors, insulation and fixing of electronic parts. There are red, yellow, blue, white, green, black, transparent and other colors. High-voltage self-adhesive tape is generally used in higher-level voltages. Because of its good ductility, it is worse than the second type in waterproofing, so people also use it in low-voltage fields, but because its strength is not as good as PVC Electrical flame retardant tape, usually these two are used together.
