FAQs

What does 'self-extinguishing' mean for this tape?

It means that if the tape is exposed to a flame, it will stop burning once the flame source is removed. It is designed to prevent the spread of fire.

Is this tape suitable for outdoor use?

The tape has a wide temperature range, but prolonged exposure to UV radiation or harsh weather may degrade the material over time. For critical outdoor applications, consider tapes specifically rated for such conditions.

How many rolls are in one pack?

Each pack contains 10 rolls of white PVC insulation tape.

What are the dimensions of each roll?

Each roll measures 19mm in width and 20 meters in length.

Can this tape be used for bundling non-electrical cables?

Yes, while designed for electrical insulation, it can be used to bundle other types of cables for organization, provided the environment is suitable.

What is the thickness of the tape?

The tape has a thickness of 0.15mm.

Is this tape resistant to moisture?

PVC tape generally offers good resistance to moisture, but it's always best to ensure the application is dry for optimal adhesion and performance.

Troubleshooting

Tape does not adhere well

Ensure the wire surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Apply with adequate tension and proper overlap.

Tape tears during application

Reduce the tension applied or ensure the tape is not being stretched beyond its 125% elongation limit. Check for nicks or damage on the tape roll.

Poor performance in extreme temperatures

Verify that the operating temperature is within the specified range of -18°C to 150°C. For temperatures outside this range, consider specialized tapes.

Self-extinguishing property is not active

This tape is designed to self-extinguish when exposed to flame. It does not have an 'active' state for this property; it reacts to flame presence.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent flame retardancy for enhanced electrical safety.
  • Compliant with RoHS standards, ensuring eco-friendly material use.
  • Durable PVC construction provides long-lasting insulation.
  • High elongation allows for flexible application on various wire shapes.
  • Suitable for a broad range of operating temperatures.
  • Cost-effective in bulk with 10 rolls per pack.

Cons

  • White color may show dirt more readily in some environments.
  • Specific temperature limits should be adhered to for optimal performance.
  • Not designed for extreme abrasive conditions.
  • Requires careful application to ensure a complete seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface of the electrical wire is clean, dry, and free from oil or debris.
  2. Cut a sufficient length of tape.
  3. Apply the tape with moderate tension, starting at least 25mm (1 inch) away from the exposed conductor.
  4. Overlap each successive wrap by at least 50% of the tape's width.
  5. Extend the taping at least 25mm (1 inch) onto the original insulation of the wire.
  6. For optimal adhesion and a tight seal, stretch the final wrap slightly and press firmly.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most common electrical wire insulation materials.
  • Suitable for use with copper and aluminum conductors.
  • Ideal for applications within its specified temperature range (-18°C to 150°C).

Care:

  • Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Keep the tape clean and free from dust or moisture before application.
  • Inspect the tape periodically if used in exposed or harsh environments.
