Characteristic and Application of Silicone Insulation Tape

Silicone insulation tape refers to the tape used by electricians to prevent leakage and to act as insulation. It is also called insulating adhesive tape, which is composed of baseband and pressure sensitive adhesive layer. Baseband is made of cotton cloth, synthetic fiber fabrics and plastic film. Adhesive layer is made of rubber and tackifier. It has good adhesion and insulation performance. Silicone insulation tape has good insulation voltage resistance, flame retardant, weatherproof and other characteristics. It is suitable for wiring connection, electrical insulation protection and so on.

In the process of using electricity, people have noticed that the cross-section area of power cord material has an impact on the safe use of electricity, but they often do not pay enough attention to the use of silicone insulation tape for joints. The laying of power supply lines is becoming more and more complex, which can be found under wooden floors, walls, partitions and damp ground or water. If the silicone insulation tape is improperly used, leakage will occur, endangering personal safety. So we should use silicone insulation tape correctly. The connection of power cord includes "+" splicing, "-" splicing, and "T" splicing, etc. The joint should be tightly wrapped and smooth without burrs. Otherwise, before disconnecting the wire head, it should be lightly pressed with wire pliers and then wound around the pressure mouth. Then swing it left and right, and the end of the wire will be disconnected at the joint obediently. If the joint is in a dry place, it should be wrapped with two layers of insulated black tape, then two layers of plastic tape. Then it is elongated by about 200% with insulated self-adhesive tape, wrapped with two to three layers, and finally wrapped with two layers of plastic tape.
