Insulation tape is the self-amalgamating, self-adhesive PVC tape used to insulate, protect, and identify electrical connections, cable repairs, and wiring joints. At the DIY Hardware Store, our insulation tapes range covers standard PVC electrical tape in the colours used for cable identification and joint insulation in domestic and automotive electrical installations.
PVC insulation tape has a dielectric rating that makes it suitable for insulating electrical joints and repairs at standard domestic voltages. It adheres to itself and to most surfaces without a separate adhesive layer, conforming well to irregular shapes and providing a weatherproof, moisture-resistant wrapping when applied with overlapping half-laps. Standard colours - black, red, blue, yellow, green/yellow - align with UK cable core colour coding, making it useful both for functional insulation and for colour-coding cables and circuit identifications.
Available in standard 19mm width at the DIY Hardware Store, in rolls suited to both single-job use and stocking for workshop or trade use.
