For specialized projects, you may require custom solutions. A reputable supplier should have the capability to provide customized butyl rubber tape solutions tailored to your needs. Additionally, technical support is crucial, especially for complex applications. Suppliers who offer expert guidance on product selection and application can help ensure that you achieve optimal results.
Applications



Rubber tapes are generally non-adhesive, and are either equipped with a liner or are linerless. Stretched and overlapped layers will fuse or bond together to form an effective electrical insulation and moisture barrier. For low-voltage (1000V or less) applications, rubber tapes should be stretched during wrapping so that tape width is reduced to approximately 75%. For high- and medium-voltage applications — where the electrical stresses are high (e.g. connector areas, lug areas, and cable shield cut-back areas) — tape should be stretched just short of its breaking point.
Moreover, the use of flame retardant tapes is not only influenced by safety concerns but also by regulatory compliance. Many countries have enacted stringent regulations governing the flammability of materials used in various applications. Using flame retardant tapes ensures adherence to these standards, thereby avoiding penalties and ensuring the safety of products in the market. Manufacturers that incorporate these tapes into their processes can also advertise their commitment to safety, potentially enhancing their reputation and appeal to customers.
