Friction tape was the first electrical tape to enter the marketplace. Older wiring systems had cotton cloth jacketing, which was very susceptible to fire. Friction tape slowly replaced cotton jacketing. It is constructed of cotton cloth impregnated on both sides with a tacky, rubber adhesive that provides good adhesion to all types of surfaces, including itself, without sticky residue.
Its tough surface helps to prevent abrasion and protects wires, cables, and splices from penetration from neighboring systems
Electrical wire splices, heavy-duty binding, bundling cables, household wiring, and adding no-slip grip to construction and agricultural equipment handles.
Offers excellent mechanical protection against abrasion and penetration of low voltage cable, splices and wire.
Suitable for temporary binding and harnessing applications.
Useful for multitude of miscellaneous general purpose uses – i.e. when applied onto tool handles, it provides a non-slip surface.
