What Is Electrical Insulation Tape?

Electrical insulation tape is a specialised adhesive tape designed to insulate and protect electrical wiring and components. Made from materials like PVC, rubber, or fabric, it provides a crucial barrier against moisture, heat, and corrosion, preventing short circuits and electrical hazards. 

Textile Technologies Europe Ltd manufacture an extensive range of electrical insulation tape made from E Glass, S2 Glass and Alumina Silica fibres. These adhesive tapes are ideal for use in various electrical applications.

Applications of Electrical Insulation Tape

Electrical insulation tape is widely used across various electrical and industrial applications to provide protection, consolidation, and enhanced safety.

  • Finishing & Consolidation – Applied as a final protective layer in electrical equipment, ensuring secure bundling and durability.
  • Low-Voltage Insulation – Serves as a primary insulation layer in low-voltage machines, preventing short circuits and electrical failures.
  • Fire Protection – Used on power and communication cables to act as a fire-resistant barrier, reducing the risk of fire propagation.
  • HV Rotating Machines – Woven glass or polyester tape is commonly applied to the endwinding sections of stator coils in high-voltage rotating machines. These tapes are processed through Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI), enhancing insulation integrity and mechanical strength.
