Electrical tape for professionals: the broad range of HelaTape

Electrical tape HelaTape has many strong points

With HelaTape, HellermannTyton offers engineers, designers and electricians a wide range of PVC- and rubber-based electrical tapes that are ideal for insulating, attaching, bundling, sealing and marking cables. Different sizes, colours and materials support the professional use of the tapes in a wide variety of areas: whether as a fast help for repairing cables, as a tool for sealing connection points, as a visual warning for provisionally laid cables or as a clearly visible cable marker – HellermannTyton electrical tapes have many applications.

This is also reflected in the wide range of adhesive tapes: traditional insulating tapes, conductive tapes for shielding, arc and fireproofing tapes, self-amalgamating tapes, as well as textile tapes all belong to the HelaTape family of electrical tape. The various electrical tapes 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 requirements for electrical tape.

The use of high-quality electrical tapes 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. Various certifications vouch for the high quality of HellermannTyton electrical tapes.
