On the other hand, duct tape is a cloth-backed pressure-sensitive tape made of a thin polyethylene-coated cloth with fibers and a rubber-based adhesive on the other. This composition makes duct tape extremely durable, water-resistant, and great for a wide range of applications.

Understanding Heat Tape An Essential Tool for Electric Applications


For instance, stainless steel can resist corrosion, while polycarbonate may be chosen for its non-conductive properties.
Wrapping tape on a high voltage cable can be time consuming and error prone since the careful build-up of tape requires accurate half-lapping and constant tension in order to reduce build-in air voids. Rubber tapes are designed to stretch−some up to 1000%. Elongating the tape this way drives to compression, and that results in the strong self-fusion that provides great insulation and moisture protection.
