BIS certification for Specification for Pressure sensitive adhesive insulating tapes for electrical purposes IS 7809: Part 3: Sec 1: 1986

When it comes to electrical work, safety is absolutely essential. ISI/BIS certification is mandatory for Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Insulating Tapes for Electrical Purposes. These tapes, manufactured from plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are renowned for their flexibility and adaptability, important characteristics in electrical installations. The plasticized PVC backing material offers significant dielectric strength, facilitating effective electrical insulation, while the pressure-sensitive adhesive streamlines the application process and promotes strong bonding to a wide range of surfaces. Furthermore, these tapes boast high dielectric strength, a fundamental characteristic in thwarting electrical breakdown, and are engineered to maintain their efficacy across a range of temperatures.

Their plasticized PVC structure provides flexibility, enabling them to conform to irregular surfaces frequently encountered in electrical setups. Acting as a vital component in the protection of electrical systems, these tapes reduce accidental electrical contact and protect against potential hazards.
