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.

The benefits of using fire seal tape extend beyond mere compliance. Properly installed fire seal tape contributes to the overall efficiency of a building’s HVAC system by preventing air leaks. This can result in lower energy costs, as the heating and cooling systems do not have to work as hard to maintain desired temperatures.
