Everything an electrician or dealer needs to know about FR PVC insulation tape
🌟 What is FR PVC Insulation Tape?
FR PVC (Fire Retardant Polyvinyl Chloride) insulation tape is a self-adhesive tape used to insulate electrical wires and cables. The "FR" rating means it resists flame propagation — if a fire starts, the tape does not continue to burn and spread the fire.
Ammolite FR PVC tape meets IS 7089 Part 3 Section 1 — the Indian Standard for PVC insulating tape used in electrical applications.
⚡ Why Use FR Tape vs Normal Tape?
Normal PVC tape burns and spreads fire — FR tape self-extinguishes
FR tape required by IS standards in all electrical installations
Higher dielectric strength — better insulation at higher voltages
Resistant to moisture, chemicals, and UV degradation
Mandatory in commercial and industrial wiring
