Insulating tape, commonly known as electrical tape, is a type of flexible tape specifically designed for insulating electrical conductors and providing protection against electrical currents. It typically consists of a thin, flexible backing material, often made of vinyl or rubber, coated with an adhesive on one side. The tape is used to wrap around exposed electrical wires or conductors to create a barrier that insulates them from each other and from the surrounding environment.
The primary purposes of insulating tape include preventing short circuits, protecting against electrical shocks, and securing and bundling wires. The tape is often color-coded to indicate its electrical properties or intended use. Insulating tape is a fundamental tool in electrical work, providing a simple and effective means of insulating and securing electrical connections in a variety of applications.
