A roll of black, flexible, and highly adhesive tape, most commonly used for insulating, bundling, and protecting electrical wiring, or for general-purpose heavy-duty repair and utility applications.
Key Features
- Color: Solid Black, providing a discrete finish for wiring or utility repairs.
- Material (Typical):
- Electrical Tape: Usually made of a vinyl (PVC) film, known for being stretchable, weather-resistant, and flame-retardant.
- Other Utility Tapes (e.g., Gaffer): May be cloth or vinyl with a high-strength adhesive.
- Key Function (Electrical Tape): Electrical Insulation—it is non-conductive and is used to wrap and splice wires, providing a protective barrier against moisture and abrasion.
- Flexibility and Conformability: The tape is generally very flexible, allowing it to easily stretch and conform around irregular shapes, corners, and wire bundles.
- Adhesion: Features a strong, pressure-sensitive adhesive for reliable, long-lasting bonding.
- Core: Wound around a central core (which appears white or light gray) for dispensing.
