For insulation purposes it is important to use special tape that is specially designed to adhere well to insulation materials and is resistant to extreme temperatures and moisture. Insulating tape is therefore often used to insulate electrical lines. But which tape is suitable for insulation? We will tell you more about it.

Types of tape suitable for insulation

Various types of tape are suitable for insulating electrical lines or wires.

  1. The Advance (AT7) electrical tape is a versatile option that is heat and UV resistant and comes in a variety of colors. This tape is flexible, flame retardant and self-extinguishing, making it ideal for various mechanical and electrical applications, both indoors and outdoors. Due to its extreme flexibility, the tape can easily be applied to difficult surfaces. Used for insulating cables, harnesses and color coding.
  2. Megatape (UT7) is available in various sizes and colors, made of durable PVC. This tape offers excellent insulating properties, is heat, chemical and moisture resistant, and flame retardant, making it a good choice for a variety of insulation applications.

Difference between insulation tape and other types of tape

Insulating tape is specially designed to safely insulate electrical lines and protect them against heat, moisture and chemicals. Unlike regular tapes, insulation tape also offers specific properties such as:

  • Heat resistance
  • UV resistance
  • Electrical insulation
  • Flame retardant

These properties are essential for working safely with electricity. Insulating tape is also used to prevent electric shock and short circuits.

Can you use duct tape as insulation?

Some people think that duct tape can be used to insulate electrical wires. Although duct tape is strong, it is not suitable for electrical insulation because it does not have the necessary properties as mentioned earlier. Additionally, the adhesive of duct tape can harden over time, causing the tape to shift and expose wires, creating a dangerous situation.
