PVC & Cloth Insulation Tape

PVC and cloth insulation tape is a self-adhesive tape used for wrapping, bundling and finishing insulation jackets and for color-coding pipe services. It is flexible and conforms to pipe curves and bends. The PVC variant is plastic, while the cloth variant has a fabric backing.

PVC insulation tape is rated from -10°C to +80°C, while the cloth variant can be used up to +105°C. Choose cloth tape where the tape surface runs warmer, and keep both types away from direct contact with hot pipe surfaces.

PVC tape is a plastic tape, 0.13 to 0.25 mm thick and rated up to +80°C, while cloth tape has a fabric backing, 0.25 to 0.35 mm thick, and is rated up to +105°C. PVC tape stretches and conforms well around bends; cloth tape is thicker and handles slightly higher temperatures.

PVC and cloth insulation tape is available in 18 mm, 19 mm, 24 mm, 48 mm and 50 mm widths, in 10 m or 20 m rolls. Narrow widths suit bundling and color bands, while 48 mm and 50 mm widths suit wrapping and finishing insulation jackets.

PVC and cloth insulation tape is available in black, white, red, yellow, blue and green, so services can be identified by color bands on insulated pipes. The color scheme itself should follow the plant or project's own identification standard.

Use Aluminum Foil Tape to seal joints on foil-faced insulation, because it matches the facing and continues the vapor barrier. PVC & Cloth Insulation Tape is for wrapping, bundling, finishing and color-coding rather than vapor sealing, and it can be applied on top for identification.

PVC insulation tape in this catalogue is referenced to ASTM D3005, a PVC electrical and duct tape reference. If your project requires specific test documentation for the tape, mention it in your enquiry and we will confirm what is available.

PVC insulation tape falls under HS code 39191000, which covers self-adhesive plastic tape in rolls. This code applies to the PVC variant; confirm the classification of cloth tape with the quotation if you are ordering both types.

PVC and cloth insulation tape is packed as boxed rolls, 10 rolls per box, so quantities are counted in boxes. Specify tape type, width, roll length, color and number of boxes in your enquiry. Boxes can be added to an insulation or cladding container shipped FCL or LCL from Nhava Sheva (JNPT) or Mumbai.
