Some basic knowledge of PVC electrical tape

1. What is PVC tape?

PVC tape is a kind of electrical tape, sometimes called vinyl tape or insulating tape, and is widely used in our daily lives.

2. What is it made of? What is its structure?

It is made of a popular plastic called polyvinyl chloride or PVC. Therefore, it exhibits some valuable properties, such as long-lasting viscosity and good insulation.

3. What are its characteristics?

1) Thickness measurement thickness The figure below shows the most popular thickness Tfghicknesf on the market

5 mil (0.13mm) is the most popular thickness in the world, but Shushi Group can customize any thickness according to your requirements.

2) Multiple colors

LIANTU Tape is available in 10 different colors, black, white, red, yellow, green, blue, silver, orange, brown and purple.

3) Fire resistant

After the fire-resistant tape is ignited, it will self-extinguish in a very short time, while the non-fire-resistant tape will continue to burn until it burns out.

4) Surface

Glossy noodles are more popular in the Middle East and Asia, while matte noodles are more popular in Europe, North America and South America.

In addition, LIANTU Tape can imprint the customer's LOGO on the PVC tape, such as the picture below.

5) Tensile strength

Tensile strength represents the maximum stress, a tape can withstand before being stretched or broken, usually, the bigger the better

6) Elongation

Elongation is a measure of how long the tape can stretch before it breaks. Measured in percentage, elongation is a key indicator of tape quality when choosing electrical tape. You must know what the elongation of the tape is, because stretching is an important part of the process when applying tape in splicing or phasing tasks. In electrical applications, the best way to ensure a waterproof and safe seal is to stretch the tape when wrapping the tape on the cable. After completion, the wrapped tape will naturally return to its original shape and maintain a firm grip. The ability to resume forming is related to elongation and increases with the grade and quality of the tape used. Tapes with poor elongation may easily break during use, resulting in wasted time, wasted tape, and frustrated.

7) Where can it be used? And how to use it in the right way?

Electrical tape is something that every DIYer should have in his/her toolbox. Tape can be used for many purposes, from repairing minor wire damage to preventing pipeline freezing in winter

Here are 3 key tips when using tape:

1. Keep the surface of the object dry and clean, free of oil, water, and dust...

2. Wrap it half overlap, 100% overlap the last layer when wrapping, do not over stretch the last layer, so as not to
