- Splicing tape is also commonly used to increase efficiency and productivity in the manufacturing process. By splicing together the ends of rolls of material, production lines can continue without interruption, saving time and reducing waste. This is particularly important in industries where continuous operation is crucial, such as in the printing and packaging sectors.
The tape fuses or seals itself to create a waterproof and airtight layer when stretched and wrapped around objects.

Varnished cambric tape is often employed to cover bolts, corners, and rough edges that could cut through less durable tape. It’s the ideal candidate for mechanical protection and puncture resistance around your home, vehicle, or office.
Another noteworthy property is its excellent elasticity and flexibility, which ensures that it can be easily manipulated into different shapes and sizes. Butyl rubber also exhibits good fire resistance and remains functional even at extreme temperatures, ranging from -20°C to 150°C. These properties make butyl rubber rolls not only durable but also suitable for a variety of demanding applications.
To use the tape, simply stretch it around the material you are trying to repair. As you wrap the tape in a circular motion, it begins to seal and “fuse” itself to the material. The most common forms of self-fusing / self-amalgamating tapes are made of silicone rubber (though other types also exist). They are designed to create a strong, seamless, rubbery, waterproof, and electrically insulating layer.

Our self-amalgamating tape is RoHS compliant, to give you the peace of mind that it contains none of the restrictive materials banned under the Restriction of Hazardous Restrictions (RoHS) and offers REACH compliance. This demonstrates that the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has passed it safe for use without harm to the end user. Available in two popular widths and three lengths, this forms part of our extensive range of tapes that we always have in stock.
Can you Wrap Hot Wires with Electrical Tape?
Without the proper protection provided by the car harness tape, these wiring harnesses can be susceptible to damage from heat, moisture, and vibrations. This can lead to potential short circuits, electrical malfunctions, and even fires.
What is Rubber Repair Tape?
Made with a specialized high-temperature tempering process, butyl tape is thoroughly airtight and watertight to endure the harshest of weather conditions - from heavy rains to frigid winters, and its UV resistance helps to withstand direct sunlight with minimal damage.


We keep this tape in just the one size: 25mm Wide x 9 Metre Long rolls.
Polyethylene Tape, or PE Tape, is a type of adhesive tape made from polyethylene, a durable and versatile thermoplastic polymer. It finds a wide range of applications due to its various properties and benefits.
