Here at Swift, we stock a number of different electrical tapes. Some are adhesive, some are not and somewhere in the middle are our self-fusing tapes. These don't stick to surfaces but they do stick to themselves. 

Taping tips

One of the most significant advantages of self-bonding rubber tape is its ease of use. Unlike traditional tapes that require a smooth surface and adhesive to stick, rubber tape utilizes a pressure-sensitive capability that allows it to bond to itself upon contact. This property means that users can quickly wrap the tape around an object, and as they stretch it, the tape will adhere to itself, creating a tight and secure seal. This feature is especially beneficial in situations where time is of the essence and quick fixes are needed.

Additionally, the white color of this specific tape makes it an excellent choice for aesthetic applications. For instance, it can be used on white surfaces without drawing attention to itself, making it ideal for home decor projects or repairs in areas where appearance matters. Homeowners can use it to mend white furniture, appliances, or fixtures without compromising the overall look of their space.

Economic factors and market trends can also influence the price of insulation tape. Fluctuations in raw material costs, global supply chain issues, and demand can create price volatility. For example, during a construction boom, demand increases, potentially leading to higher prices. Conversely, during a market downturn, prices may stabilize or decrease. Always keep an eye on market trends if you anticipate that you’ll need insulation tape in the future.
