Why Vinyl?

While electrical tape can be constructed from many types of plastic, it is most commonly available in vinyl form. Specifically, this tape can be constructed from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Multiple types of adhesives are available, but a blend of synthetic and natural rubber resin often proves effective.

As a popular tape material, vinyl offers several compelling benefits worth considering. We've outlined a few of these in detail below:

Flexible

Vinyl stretches well compared to other tape materials and is easier to apply in many situations. Its flexibility makes it a popular solution for wrapping, especially for ductwork, pipes, and wiring harnesses. As a stretchable material, it can also work wonderfully for creative purposes, such as decorating.

Durable

Long-lasting vinyl electrical tape can hold up over time, even when used in environments that might otherwise cause rapid wear and tear. This type of tape is resistant to:

  • Sun
  • Water
  • Bacteria
  • Fungi
  • Acids
  • Corrosive chemicals
  • High or low temperatures

With some types of tape, colors that initially appear bright may wear off over time. Vinyl, however, holds its colors well, making it a compelling choice when you prefer brightly-colored tape.

Affordable

When your budget is modest, you need an affordable yet durable solution that won't break the bank. Vinyl tape can be purchased at a reasonable cost. General purpose vinyl tape is especially affordable in large quantities, even the industrial grade, and customized versions.

Stick-and-Peel Application

With vinyl tape, there's no need to worry about complicated applications. Stick-and-peel functionality makes it possible to instantly apply this tape to the floor or other desired surfaces. There is no dry time, so the process is quick.

Write-On Abilities

It's possible to write directly on vinyl tape with permanent markers. This makes vinyl tape a great option for labeling, note-taking, or even DIY decorating. Some vinyl products are better suited to writing than others — if this is a priority, be sure to look for products specifically labeled as "write-on."

Vinyl Electrical Tape Applications

The inherent versatility of vinyl electrical tape makes it the perfect option for insulating in many locations. While commonly used for commercial and industrial purposes, this tape is also valuable for several household functions. Key applications include:

Decorations

There's no denying the value of electrical tape for insulating, but its aesthetic benefits should also be considered. Available in every color imaginable, this tape can be used to decorate a variety of surfaces. Top color options include:

  • Emerald Green
  • Kelly Green
  • Sky Blue
  • Dark Blue
  • Orange
  • Purple

Vinyl electrical tape makes an instant impression when used on a large-scale basis for major projects such as sporting equipment or boats. For example, businesses needing affordable decorative solutions for parades often deck their vehicles out in colorful vinyl tape before cruising down Main Street.

Duct and Joint Sealing

Because vinyl tape is an effective seal against moisture, it's incredibly useful for sealing ducts and joints. In these pressure-sensitive applications, vinyl tape shines with its strong adhesion to everything from sheet metal to duct board. Variable temperatures and high humidity are common in these situations, but vinyl can withstand these frequently changing conditions.

Harness and Pipe Wrapping

Another application that makes the most of vinyl's moisture barrier functionality? Pipe wrapping. Capable of resisting corrosive action, vinyl tape can be used both above and below ground to provide a durable and consistent coating. This is an excellent solution for exposed piping or potentially vulnerable overhead piping within industrial settings.

Vinyl tape is similarly protective for wiring harnesses, which can otherwise pose huge risks if not thoroughly protected. Properties that make vinyl tape preferable include exceptional elasticity, abrasion resistance, and durability in all weather conditions.

Color Coding

Color coding is a critical component of effective organization. While it's possible to place items in strategically colored containers, it may be easier to place a strip of tape in a visible location.

This approach simplifies container purchasing, as you need only worry about size and capacity rather than making decisions based on available container colors. As previously mentioned, containers can then be identified by writing directly on the tape. This color coding method works wonders for marking racks and shelves, as well as dedicated floor spaces or other types of zones.

Lane Marking

Lane marking ensures safe and orderly traffic flow in warehouses, distribution centers, and other facilities. This is particularly important when vehicles such as forklifts are used. Distinct lanes must be set aside for pedestrians and vehicles to avoid collisions.

While many lane marking solutions are available, few are as eye-catching or easy to apply as heavy-duty vinyl floor tape. As the #1 rated floor tape for traffic needs, this heavy-duty solution can be combined with floor labels to get the message across to pedestrians and drivers alike quickly. Our heavy-duty vinyl floor tape is also notable for its double tapered edge, which makes it easier for carts and other vehicles to slide over the tape as needed.

The diverse applications for floor marking and vehicle striping tape goes beyond warehouses. For example, in school gyms or dance studios, this tape may indicate where students should go while playing games or performing routines. Some people use vinyl tape at home to mark spaces as they plan for remodeling or other interior projects.

Meeting OSHA Requirements

Depending on how it's used in the workplace, vinyl electrical tape may need to comply with standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). These standards largely reference the colors used for specific situations.

While OSHA does not currently maintain strict guidelines for floor marking colors, many businesses abide by general OSHA color guidelines for purposes of consistency. Regardless of whether color adoption promotes compliance, OSHA tape can provide an immediate visual cue to keep employees as alert, efficient, and safe as possible.

Our laminated striped safety warning tape is an excellent option for maintaining full OSHA compliance. This striped PVC tape complies with the requirements listed in paragraph 1910.144 of the Federal Register.
