Materials and Structure
Self Fusing Silicone Tape
◆ Material: Made of silicone rubber (organic silicon) as the base material, with no glue on the surface, relying on self-adhesive properties for bonding.
◆ Structure: Usually single-layer silicone, soft and elastic, can tightly adhere to itself or the surface of objects after stretching.
Electrical Tape
◆ Material: Based on PVC (polyvinyl chloride), coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive (such as rubber or acrylic) on the back.
◆ Structure: Multi layer structure (some high-end models have tear resistant fiber layers), high hardness, and adhesive dependence.
Characteristic comparison
Self Fusing Silicone Tape
◆ Temperature resistance: -60 ℃~200 ℃ (or even higher)
◆ Adhesive principle: Physical self-adhesive (no glue), reusable
◆ Waterproof/Sealing: Extremely strong, can be completely sealed
◆ Chemical corrosion resistance: resistant to oil, acid, alkali, and ultraviolet radiation
◆ Insulation: Good (but pay attention to thickness)
◆ Residual glue risk: no glue, no residue
◆ Price: Higher
Electrical Tape
◆ Temperature resistance: -18 ℃~80 ℃ (easy to soften and glue overflow at high temperatures)
◆ Adhesive principle: chemical glue bonding, mainly disposable
◆ Waterproof/Sealing: General, only moisture-proof
◆ Chemical corrosion resistance: Generally, long-term exposure to chemicals may cause aging
◆ Insulation: Excellent (designed specifically for electrical insulation)
◆ Residual glue risk: glue may remain after long-term use
◆ Price: Low
Typical application scenarios
Self Fusing Silicone Tape
◆ Sealed waterproof: Waterproof for pipeline interfaces, outdoor cable joints, and LED light strips.
◆ High temperature environment: motor winding wrapping, insulation of heating elements.
◆ No residual requirements: Temporary fixation of precision instruments, protection of automotive wiring harnesses.
Electrical Tape
◆ Electrical insulation: insulation of wire joints and circuit maintenance.
◆ Binding and fixing: organize cables, mark colors (such as black/red/yellow/green, etc.).
◆ Daily protection: Temporary repair of damaged wire sheaths.
Selection suggestions
◆ Choose Self Fusing Silicone Tape : If high temperature resistance, complete waterproofing, no residue or repeated use are required.
