Double-Coated Polyethylene Foam Tape

“There are many kits and products available to electricians today that simplify their work and help increase productivity,” Anderson says. “The properties of electrical tapes have also been steadily improved over the years. These proven products can be adapted to many important electrical insulation tasks, and they continue to be valuable assets for our industry. For that reason, we continue to stress the importance of taping skills and strong product and application knowledge.”

Electrical tape is designed to adhere to wires, its tolerance for higher temperatures is a bit more resilient when compared to duct tape. Duct tape loses its stickiness and adhesive strength when exposed to high temperatures for a long time. If left long enough, the fibers duct tape uses for strength would eventually catch fire.
