One of the primary uses of black PVC tape is for electrical insulation. It is commonly used by electricians to wrap and insulate exposed wires, preventing electric shocks and short circuits. The tape's flexibility allows it to conform to various shapes and sizes, ensuring a snug fit around cables and connections. Furthermore, its strong adhesive properties ensure that it adheres securely, minimizing the risk of it peeling away over time. The tape can withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor electrical applications.
Flex Tape Black is easy to use, with a simple peel-and-stick application process. This makes it accessible for users of all skill levels, from experienced handymen to DIY novices. Plus, the tape can be cut to size, allowing you to customize it to fit your specific repair needs.

In 1845, a surgeon named Dr. Horace Day made the first crude surgical tape by combining India rubber, pine gum, turpentine, litharge (a yellow lead oxide), and turpentine extract of cayenne pepper and applying that mixture to strips of fabric. It was the first “rubber-based” adhesive and Dr. Day used it in his practice as a surgical plaster. Larger scale manufacturing of similar medical tapes began in 1874 by Robert Wood Johnson and George Seaburg in East Orange, NJ. That company would soon become the Johnson & Johnson Company we know today. Later in 1921, Earle Dickson who bought cotton for Johnson & Johnson noticed that the surgical tape kept falling off his wife Josephine’s fingers after cutting them in the kitchen. He fixed a piece of gauze to some cloth backed tape and the first Band-Aid ® was invented. It took almost 75 years from Dr. Day’s first crude tape until the early 1920’s when the first industrial tape application appeared. The application was electrical tape (although the adhesive was more of a cohesive film than the electrical tape we know today) to prevent wires from shorting. The second major industrial tape application was a result of the rise of the American automobile in the 1920’s. Two-toned automobiles were becoming popular and automakers needed a way to produce clean, sharp paint lines while using the new automatic paint spray gun. They started using the surgical tape that was available but the paint wicked through the cloth backing and caused defective paint jobs. Richard Drew, an engineer at Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M) happened to be at a local body shop testing their WetorDry® brand sandpaper in 1925 and he saw the workers struggling to get clean paint lines. He went back to his lab and created a 2-inch wide crimp backed paper tape that became the first “masking tape” for painting. Jumping ahead to 1942 and World War II, Johnson & Johnson developed duct tape to seal canisters and repair equipment for the military. The tape was a basically a polyethylene coated cloth tape with good “quick stick” properties that made it easy to use in the field for emergency repairs. The world never looked back and duct tape can be found in almost any home or toolbox.
Silicone tape can function effectively within a wide temperature range, from freezing cold to scorching heat. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for various climates and applications.


High voltage self-fusing rubber tape is an essential tool in electrical insulation and repair tasks. This specialized tape is designed to provide excellent electrical insulation, moisture resistance, and mechanical protection in high-voltage applications. Understanding its features, benefits, and applications can help both professionals and DIY enthusiasts make the most of this innovative product.
In addition to providing visual cues, safety floor tape also serves as a physical barrier between different areas within a facility. For example, using bright yellow tape to mark off a designated work zone can help prevent unauthorized access and protect employees from potential dangers. Similarly, using red tape to mark off a no-go zone can help prevent accidents and injuries in hazardous areas.

Electrical control panel equipment like circuit breakers and switchgear is another common application for electrical control boxes. A breaker box needs to resist environmental conditions that might damage the sensitive electrical equipment inside.
