Elite Tape offers an extensive line of single coated film tapes with a variety of film backings and adhesive systems.  Our polyester-silicone tapes are used for splicing silicone coated papers and high temperature masking applications.  We offer these in different colors and different thickness’ depending on your application needs.   We also offer polyester-acrylic tapes, polyimide-silicone, polyester-acrylic and polyethylene-rubber. All of these products can be procesed in long length machine rolls for continuous processing.  We also offer these tapes die-cut in different designs and configurations.  There are several applications requiring our single coated film tapes:

Another remarkable aspect of Black Flex Tape is its ease of use. Unlike traditional repair methods that may require additional tools or complicated steps, applying Flex Tape is as simple as cutting a piece to the desired length, peeling off the backing, and sticking it onto the surface. This user-friendly approach enables anyone, regardless of their DIY experience, to tackle repairs effectively and efficiently. The immediate bonding capability means that you don't have to wait for adhesives to cure or dry, making it a time-saving solution for urgent repairs.

3. Ease of Use Insulation tape is incredibly easy to handle and apply. It can be torn by hand, allowing for quick application without the need for scissors or other tools. This feature is particularly beneficial in tight spaces or during time-sensitive repairs.

Despite its many benefits, Flex Tape is not without its limitations. While it can be used to fix a wide range of issues, it is not a permanent solution and may need to be replaced periodically. It is also not recommended for use on flexible materials or surfaces that constantly move or bend, as it may not adhere properly.

In addition to being built differently than other tapes, most electrical tapes used by professionals are UL Listed, which means that they have been vigorously tested for performance when exposed to environmental elements, such as cold temperature, moisture, and sunlight. UL Listed electrical tapes are also tested for physical properties, including backing strength, elongation, and adhesive strength and must meet a high standard in order to qualify for the listing. UL Listings exist for many other types of tape – such as foil and film HVAC tapes – but each listing revolves around the specific type of tape in question. So, while your foil tape may meet UL Listing requirements for sealing rigid ducts in HVAC applications, it would not meet the code if used in an electrical application.

We are pleased to stock a number of different self-fusing tapes. All are electrically insulating though some are often used for sealing work (e.g. fixing a leaking hose) in addition to electrical applications. 

In summary, butyl rubber rolls are an essential material across various industries due to their unique properties and wide range of applications. From automotive and construction to medical fields, the benefits of butyl rubber—including low permeability, resistance to aging, and excellent flexibility—make it a crucial component in many products and systems. As industries increasingly prioritize sustainability and efficiency, the demand for butyl rubber is likely to grow, solidifying its role as a cornerstone material in modern manufacturing. For businesses looking for high-performance materials, butyl rubber rolls offer a reliable and versatile solution that meets the challenges of today’s marketplace.
