Adhesives and the resultant tapes made from this class of elastomers is very versatile and the most frequently used. These adhesives typically use styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) or styrene block copolymers such as styrene-butadiene styrene (SBS) , styrene –isoprene-styrene(SIS), or SEBS(styrene-ethyelene/butylene-styrene.. Block copolymers have thermoplastic styrene end blocks with an elastomeric midblock.  Different tackifying resins can be used for each distinct phase of the base and the resulting adhesives can be tailored to exhibit aggressive tack, high peel, and excellent cohesive strength. There are a variety of tape products made from these systems including double coated film tapes, transfer adhesives, foam tapes, and carton sealing tapes. These tapes can be used for interior bonding and assembly applications, fabricating foam gaskets and seals, and of course duct tape.

When setting up your cables and electronics, chances are you use different cable management tools to help manage it all. Electrical insulation tape is a common material used by folks overseeing cable organization to cover and insulate wires using electricity. Manufacturers have developed different types of electrical tapes ranging in thickness, widths, and lengths for varying technical purposes. Before setting up your network and organizing your cables, get familiar with everything you need to know about electrical tape.

Self-fusing silicone electrical tape finds applications across various industries. In electrical installations, it is commonly used for insulating splices, protecting wiring, and securing cables in both residential and commercial projects. Its resistance to heat makes it an ideal choice for high-performance applications, such as in automotive and aerospace sectors.

It has a very high adhesive level and sticks to most smooth surfaces quickly.

Selecting the Perfect Control Box for You

Is silicone tape the same as silicone sheets?

How Does It Work?

The main job of a well pump’s electrical control box is to cycle the pump’s pressure switch on and off. In a private well system, the pump draws up water from the groundwater supply and pumps it into a pressure tank. The pressurization that occurs inside the tank provides the force that gives a building running water. When the pressure in the tank drops below a certain level, the pump cycles on and then cycles back off when the tank is at an acceptable level.
