- During emergencies, temporary floor markings can direct evacuation routes, pointing towards exits and safe zones. They can also indicate fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and other safety equipment, ensuring swift response in crisis situations. In healthcare facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, this tape has been instrumental in implementing social distancing measures, marking out appropriate distances for queues and seating arrangements.

One of the main uses of 3mm electrical tape is insulating electrical wires and connections. When working with electronics or electrical systems, it is important to ensure that all exposed wires are properly insulated to prevent electrical shocks or short circuits. The thin width of 3mm tape allows for precise wrapping around wires and terminals, creating a secure barrier against electrical currents.
Corrosion resistance – the dielectric strength of electrical tape is a measure of its electrical strength as an insulator. Vinyl electrical tape is available with differing dielectric strength making it ideal to use for insulating high-voltage wires over extended periods of time. By comparison, PVC electrical tape can be used in similar situations but care should be taken that its dielectric strength is sufficient to insulate active wires.
Some common applications of butyl rubber tape include using it for window and door installations, sealing gutters, fixing automotive leaks, and even in HVAC systems to create airtight seals. In the construction industry, contractors often use it for flashing around windows and roofs to prevent leaks during construction and in finished structures.
