You should use a minimum of two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape to insulate and jacket low-voltage components. A half-lap (see Figure above) consists of overlaying each turn by one-half the width of the tape. The general rule of thumb calls for a tape thickness of 1.5 times the thickness of existing wire or cable insulation. In every case, tension on the tape should be sufficient to conform the tape evenly to the surface. A slight reduction in tension is encouraged for the final wrap. Trim the tape end and allow it to return to shape before pressing down with the thumb to avoid lifting or flagging.
5. Mechanical properties: excellent shock absorption and heat insulation; Good mechanical impact resistance; The tensile rate reaches 400% - 500%;
What is Heat Tape?
Silicone tape is also fast and easy to apply, and remove. It leaves no sticky residue, so it saves you time cleaning.
One of the primary purposes of insulating tape is to provide protection against electrical shocks and short circuits. When electrical wires are exposed or damaged, there is a risk of someone coming into contact with the live wires and getting shocked. By using insulating tape to cover the exposed areas, the risk of electric shock is greatly reduced. Additionally, insulating tape helps to prevent the wires from touching each other and causing a short circuit, which can lead to electrical fires.
