Product Description

ACHEM Wonder PVC Electrical Insulation Tape is a professional-grade insulating tape manufactured under the K19 brand, engineered to provide reliable electrical insulation for wire connections, splices, and cable repairs. With a thickness of 0.13mm and standard width of 19.05mm (3/4 inch), this tape offers excellent conformability and adhesion for secure, long-lasting electrical insulation.

The 9.1-metre roll provides ample length for multiple applications, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work. The clear color allows for discreet installations while maintaining visibility of underlying wire colors for easy identification. Trusted by electricians and DIY enthusiasts alike, this PVC insulation tape delivers consistent performance across a wide range of electrical applications.

Recommended Applications

• Wire Splicing: Insulating electrical wire connections and splices in junction boxes
• Cable Repairs: Repairing damaged cable insulation and protecting exposed wires
• Terminal Insulation: Covering exposed terminals and connections in electrical panels
• Color Coding: Marking and identifying wires (clear tape allows underlying wire color to show)
• Residential Wiring: Home electrical repairs and installations
• Commercial Projects: Office buildings, retail stores, and commercial electrical work
• Industrial Maintenance: Equipment wiring repairs and preventive maintenance

FAQs

1) What voltage rating does this electrical tape have?

Standard PVC electrical insulation tape is typically rated for 600 volts, suitable for most residential and commercial electrical applications. Always verify the specific voltage rating on the product packaging. For high-voltage applications above 600V, use specialized high-voltage insulation tape.

2) Can I use this tape outdoors or in damp locations?

While PVC electrical tape provides moisture resistance, it's primarily designed for dry indoor locations. For outdoor or damp applications, ensure connections are properly sealed and consider using self-amalgamating tape or heat-shrink tubing for superior weatherproofing and long-term protection.

3) How many layers of tape should I apply for proper insulation?

Apply at least 2-3 overlapping layers of electrical tape for adequate insulation. Start wrapping from the insulated portion of the wire, overlap each wrap by 50%, and extend beyond the splice or repair area. For critical connections, apply additional layers for extra protection.

4) Why choose clear tape over colored electrical tape?

Clear tape allows you to see the underlying wire color, making it easier to identify circuits during troubleshooting and maintenance. This is particularly useful when you want to maintain wire color coding while providing insulation. Colored tapes are better for phase identification or color-coding different circuits.

5) Can I use electrical tape instead of wire nuts for connections?

No, electrical tape should never replace wire nuts or proper connectors. Wire nuts provide mechanical connection and primary insulation. Electrical tape is used as secondary insulation to cover wire nuts, exposed terminals, or repair damaged insulation. Always use proper connectors first, then tape for additional protection.

6) How do I store electrical tape to prevent it from drying out?

Store electrical tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep rolls in their original packaging or sealed plastic bags to prevent moisture absorption and adhesive degradation. Properly stored tape typically lasts 2-3 years. If tape becomes brittle or loses adhesion, replace it.

7) What's the difference between PVC electrical tape and other types?

PVC electrical tape is the most common type, offering good insulation, flexibility, and affordability for general electrical work. Rubber tape provides better conformability for irregular shapes. Self-amalgamating tape fuses to itself for superior weatherproofing. Heat-shrink tubing offers the best protection but requires heat application. Choose based on your specific application needs.
