Users must also consider safety features, such as thermal sensors and circuit breakers, to prevent overheating and electrical hazards. Most modern heat tapes are equipped with built-in safety features, but regular maintenance checks can further enhance safety and efficiency.

Another noteworthy property is its excellent elasticity and flexibility, which ensures that it can be easily manipulated into different shapes and sizes. Butyl rubber also exhibits good fire resistance and remains functional even at extreme temperatures, ranging from -20°C to 150°C. These properties make butyl rubber rolls not only durable but also suitable for a variety of demanding applications.

For all intents and purposes, modified acrylics have the same characteristics as pure acrylics, but have superior adhesion to the hard-to-bond-plastics mentioned above. Generally, these are more expensive than pure acrylics and are used for plastic bonding (including vinyl and linoleum), lamination and splicing.
