The Importance of Fire-Resistant Electrical Tape


Butyl rubber based tapes have excellent UV and aging resistance but lower mechanical strength. These tapes are used in foam tape applications and construction and plumbing applications such as pipe joints.
Electrical tape is designed to provide a secure bond but is easily removable and residue free. Duct tape is exceptionally sticky due to its adhesive composition. The rubber-based adhesive allows duct tape to bond with various surfaces for long periods of time. Because of its extreme stickiness, residue sometimes is left behind.
