Electrical tape: colored, conductive and protective insulating tapes for professionals

With HelaTape, HellermannTyton offers engineers, designers and electricians a wide range of PVC- and rubber-based insulation tapes that are ideal for long-lasting insulating, attaching, bundling, sealing and marking cables. Our colored tape in different sizes and materials supports the professional use in a wide variety of areas: whether as a fast help for repairing electrical wires and cables, as a tool for sealing connection points, as a visual warning for provisionally laid cables or as a way to color-code cables.

Our adhesive tapes can be used in many ways: traditionally for insulation, as conductive tapes for shielding or for arc and fire protection. Our portfolio also includes self-welding and textile tapes. All products are characterised by different mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength and abrasion resistance, electromagnetic properties, or air- and water-tight seals. This diversity allows the HelaTape family to fulfil most demands.

The use of high-quality material provides optimum protection against dust, UV radiation, moisture, dirt, acids, alkalis and solvents – and is possible in a broad range of temperatures. It is tough to beat the efficiency, speed, durability and safety of taping, sealing and padding work. The high product quality is also guaranteed by various certifications.

Based on a vinyl film and coated with a balanced combination of high quality rubber-adhesion, HelaTape Flex is characterised by excellent performance and durability. The PVC tapes can be used for insulation, protection, bundling, maintenance, colour coding and many other applications. The range also includes premium tapes with excellent characteristics for all types of weather and superior performance in cold conditions.

HelaTape Shield is used for rebuilding strand and insulation shields on high-voltage splices and for shielding all types of electrical connections. The special knit design allows easy application and provides good electromagnetic shielding.

HelaTape Power 410 is an unsupported, liner less, elastomeric tape which offers superior arc and flame resistance. It creates a thermally insulating residue when exposed to fire and is also water, chemical and UV resistant.
