Electrical tape is designed in rolls and is typically used as an insulation for electrical wires, and it can also refer to insulating tape or PVC tape. They have the quality to resist abrasion, flame retardant, and support protection against rust, dust, dirt, moisture, acids, and ultraviolet radiation. These tapes are a clinging surface which makes them easily apply to electricity carrier materials.

Tape colors 

These tapes are found in different colors not only to have an aesthetic look but to indicate the phase level and voltage of the wire, classified as warm, cold, and neutral. Therefore, the tape is available in various colors. Their prime goal is to insulate the electric wires and indicate the wire's phase and voltage. They include black, blue, green, yellow, and so on.

Electricians most often use black and grey tape to insulate the electric wires that conduct low voltage or neutral electricity. It is not standard that all the region's electricians abide by the same combination. Here in the UK, the green and yellow tape is typically used to signify protective earth; brown tape signifies low voltage electric wires, and blue tape is used to signify low voltage or neutral electricity.

Tape Types 

Electrical tape types are available in a wide range, varying from application to application, or project-specific tapes can be used. These tapes vary in quality on how to work better with definite phases for electricity to withstand or bear extremely high temperatures, insulation resistance, and electric breakdown. These tapes composition materials vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, such as tape thickness, and colors.  

Viny

Viny is a very popular and most used material in the tape manufacturing industry, and it is also used in many other types of plastic industry like PVC. Therefore, Vinyl is very flexible, durable, and reliable, and these properties make them the ideal choice used in these applications. It makes the tape stretchable and lengthens the material life span. Conductive tapes are manufactured using copper foil, having properties to adhesively apply to the wires that conduct high voltage electricity.

Mastic

Mastic electrical tape is very flexible, adhesive in nature, and user-friendly material. It is standard in the industry and available in various colors. The backing surface is potentially smooth and elastic, which ensures the tape stretches and adheres to the wires it is applying. The tape is waterproof and resistant to the surrounding environment like extreme cold and hot and is used for splicing up to 69 kilovolts. This electrical tape is a popular choice among electricians for general electrical repairs, especially when the tape needs to stand up to rough handling.
