Colour coding of circuits or wiring systems

General household, automotive, or workshop use

Usage Instructions

Clean the surface to remove oil, dust, or moisture before application.

Unroll and stretch slightly while wrapping around the cable or joint to ensure a tight seal.

Overlap layers by half-width for maximum coverage and insulation strength.

Press firmly to secure the tapes adhesion to the surface.

Avoid using in areas where exposure to direct flames or outdoor weathering may exceed the rated limits.

Care and Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below -10C or above 80C.

Keep the tape roll clean to preserve adhesive effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Can this tape be used on live wires?
A: Always turn off the power before applying insulation tape. While the tape is rated up to 600V, it is not a substitute for proper insulation on high-voltage systems.

Q2: Is this suitable for automotive use?
A: Yes, its abrasion and oil resistance make it suitable for bundling or insulating wires in vehicles, provided it’s not exposed to direct heat from engines.

Q3: Does it leave a residue?
A: When removed correctly, it typically does not leave a sticky residue, especially on smooth surfaces. For long-term use, some adhesive residue may occur.

Q4: Can I use it outdoors?
A: It is moisture and UV resistant, but prolonged exposure to extreme weather may reduce performance. For long-term outdoor applications, consider using weather-rated electrical tape.

Q5: What makes it compliant with REACH and RoHS?
A: The tape is manufactured without restricted or hazardous substances, ensuring it meets EU environmental and health standards.
