Insulation tapes for industry applications
There are two main types of adhesive insulation tapes: the first provides electrical insulation, and the second thermal insulation.
- Electrical insulation tapes combine dielectric (breakdown strength) properties with reliable adhesives for effective electrical insulation across a variety of industry applications. They are widely utilized to enhance the safety and reliability of electrical systems, electronic devices, and appliances.
- Thermal insulation tapes provide resistance to heat and prevent the transfer of heat in industrial applications. They can help to improve energy efficiency by insulating against falls or rises in temperature, as well as enhancing safety by protecting against heat-related damage.

Rely on our electrical insulation tapes
Electrical insulation tapes are flexible and adhere firmly to surfaces or components, creating a strong bond and providing electrical insulation.
Electrical insulation protects workers, users, devices and components from electrical hazards and is essential for regulatory compliance. Most of our electrical insulation tapes meet international safety standards for dielectric breakdown and flame retardance.
Our electrical insulation tapes are robust and conformable, which makes them a reliable and versatile adhesive solution. Most insulation tapes are pressure-sensitive (specialty tapes may be self-fusing), which makes them easy to use. The tesa® range includes multipurpose, premium, and heavy-duty tapes for electrical insulation, installation, sealing, waterproofing, and cushioning. Some tapes are available in a variety of colors and are writable for easy color coding of electric wires and cables.
Electrical insulation tapes can also be used for bonding, mounting, and sealing. They create a strong and reliable bond and can be an easy-to-apply, lighter, and often more cost-effective alternative to traditional screws or bolts.
Should you have any questions about the suitability of a particular type of electrical insulation tape for an application,
Choose our adhesive tapes for versatile thermal insulation
Thermal insulation tapes support energy efficiency and damage prevention by protecting against heat or cold loss and maintaining a consistent temperature. They have many industrial applications, including insulating pipes, ductwork, windows, and interior and exterior HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) repairs.
Our line of aluminum foil tapes has been developed to meet the most rigorous demands of HVAC. It offers high durability and thermal resistance, with a choice of tapes suitable for interior and exterior applications. By minimizing heat loss and avoiding temperature fluctuations, our thermal insulation tapes can contribute towards meeting business effiency goals.
Special thermal insulation tapes
We also supply specialty thermal tapes that can provide enhanced insulation against heat, chemicals, and environmental factors. These are suited for use in demanding environments.
