Electrical tape Hellermann Tyton 712-00906

Hellermann Tyton 712-00906 electrical tape is a durable insulating tape designed for protecting and bundling electrical wiring. The tape measures 50 m in length and 50 mm in width, providing ample coverage for splicing, insulating joints, and securing cable harnesses. It is formulated to resist moisture and many common chemicals, supporting reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Advantages

This electrical tape delivers consistent thickness and reliable adhesion to a variety of substrates, ensuring secure insulation of wire joints and terminations. Its moisture-resistant backing and chemical-resistant formulation help maintain electrical integrity in damp or exposed locations. The 50 mm width speeds up application on larger cable runs, while the 50 m roll length reduces the need for frequent replacement. The tape remains flexible for conforming to irregular shapes and provides mechanical protection against abrasion and wear.

Suitable for

• Insulating and protecting electrical splices and terminations
• Bundling and securing cable harnesses in control cabinets and vehicles
• Temporary repairs to damaged cable sheaths and protective wraps
• Outdoor cable runs where moisture and chemical resistance are required

Key specifications

• Roll length: 50 m
• Tape width: 50 mm
• Material: electrical insulating PVC (typical for this product class)
• Properties: moisture-resistant, chemical-resistant, flexible
• Typical application temperature range: suitable for general electrical insulation tasks (check specific project requirements)

How to use

Clean and dry the surface of wires or cable jackets before applying the tape to ensure good adhesion. Start by anchoring the tape with a half-lapped wrap, pull the tape under light tension and overlap each turn by approximately 50% until the repair or insulation is fully covered. For splices, extend wrapping beyond the joint onto the intact insulation to create a continuous protective layer. Trim or tear the tape cleanly and press down the end to secure the finish. Allow any adhesive contact to set before exposing the wrapped area to mechanical stress.

Usage recommendations

For long-term or high-voltage installations, verify compatibility with system requirements and relevant standards. Use this tape for general insulation and protective tasks; for permanent sealing in harsh chemical or UV-exposed environments consider combining with additional protective sleeving or using products specifically certified for those conditions.
