The versatility of flame retardant tapes extends beyond industrial uses. They are increasingly found in consumer products where additional safety measures are necessary. For example, these tapes can be used in the production of furniture, textiles, and even clothing, adding an extra layer of fire resistance. As consumers become more aware of safety issues related to fire hazards, the demand for flame retardant products, including tapes, is expected to rise.
How do you properly tape a motor lead connection? What type of tape do you use for a connection, and how many layers? We see lots of motor connections in the field – lots of them. And it is shocking what we find at times. A properly insulated connection is both reliable and safe (funny how safety and reliability complement each other). But it is a topic that seems to be overlooked and taken for granted.

4. Chemical properties: anti oxidant and anti ozone; It has anti ultraviolet effect and good weather resistance;
Follow up this first step by wrapping four half-lapped layers of rubber insulating tape over the cambric tape, which creates a moisture barrier and provides the primary insulation in the connection. Finally, over-wrap the assembly with a minimum of two half-lapped layers of vinyl electrical tape. This should extend approximately two tape widths beyond the ends of the rubber tape. Stretch this tape as you wrap it so you get good conformance to the underlying structure. This also helps complete the moisture seal.
