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 electrical 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 electrical tapes 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 of our electrical tapes is also guaranteed by various certifications.
Watch this video to see how you can quickly and easily repair broken cable jackets with the self-amalgamating HelaTape Power 650. Thanks to the complete and airtight sheathing, dirt and water are safely kept away from the cable.

There are many kinds of tape used for various purposes. Electrical tape is specifically designed for electrical applications as it insulates and protects electrical wires and connections. It is made from materials that are non-conductive and can withstand electrical currents without causing short circuits. It is also heat-resistant and provides protection against moisture. Finally, electrical tape has an adhesive that provides good adhesion to itself and to electrical wiring.
There are several types of electrical tapes available, each designed for specific applications and with varying properties to suit different needs.
The colours of electrical tape are often used for colour coding purposes in electrical and wiring applications. Different colours can signify specific functions, phases, or types of wires, making it easier to identify and work with electrical systems.
Electrical tape prevents electrical current from flowing through it by creating a barrier between conductive materials, such as the wires, and the surrounding environment. This barrier is created with materials that have a high electrical resistance such as vinyl, PVC, or rubber. The electrical tape is tightly wrapped around a wire or connection, forming an isolation as well as an insulation layer.
Electrical tape can provide a certain level of protection against shocks. It creates a non-conductive barrier that helps to prevent electrical current from escaping, reducing the risk of accidental contact and shocks. However, the effectiveness depends on the quality of the tape itself and how it is applied.
When choosing an electrical tape, it is important to consider factors such as the intended application, environmental conditions, voltage levels, and the specific properties required for proper insulation and protection. Factors to consider include:
