Electrical tape: colored, conductive and protective insulating tapes for professionals

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.
