Structure of insulating tape

Insulation tape consists of three main parts:

• The outside of the tape is made from materials such as plastic, cloth, rubber, etc., but the most popular is still PVC with very effective electrical insulation, ensuring safety for users.
• The inside of the tape is a glue that is manufactured from a special glue and has good adhesion ability along with a very effective level of water and heat resistance.
• The core of the tape is made of paper, round and hollow, with the purpose of being the center for easier rewinding of the tape.

Uses of insulating tape

Insulation tape is often used to protect internal electrical circuits when electrical conductors have problems with an exposed or detached sheath. Thanks to its good electrical insulation, this product, when wrapped around the fault locations of the conductors, helps to prevent electricity from leaking to the outside environment. Insulating tape is widely used in many different fields, especially in factories and enterprises with electrical wires located outside. The use of this product helps to ensure the safety of workers’ lives because the power cord is often loose and opens a circuit.
