What is the difference between PVC floor tape and electrical insulation tape?
PVC floor tape and electrical insulation tape have completely different core uses, performance requirements, and safety standards. Electrical insulation tape is designed specifically for electrical insulation, while PVC floor tape is used for ground identification and protection. The two must not be mixed.
In order to help you quickly grasp the core differences, I have compiled the following comparison table.
comparative dimension.
| Comparative dimension | Electrical insulation tape (PVC electrical tape) | PVC floor tape (adhesive tape/ground warning tape) |
| main purpose | Insulation, phase color identification, and electrical maintenance of wire and cable joints. | Ground area division, channel identification, work area warning (such as factories, warehouses, parking lots). |
| Core functional requirements | Electrical insulation and safety: It must be able to effectively prevent leakage and electric shock, and have flame retardancy. | Physical protection and identification: It is required to be wear-resistant, pressure resistant, scratch resistant, able to withstand the pressure of people and vehicles and high-intensity cleaning. |
| Materials and Structures | The substrate is mostly soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film coated with rubber type pressure-sensitive adhesive. | The substrate is usually a thicker soft PVC film, partially made of foamed polyethylene, coated with strong adhesives such as water-based acrylic acid. |
| Key performance indicators | Breakdown voltage (e.g. ≥ 5000V/layer), dielectric strength, flame retardancy (required to pass UL510 and other standards). | Peel strength, tensile strength (up to 42.5 N/cm), fracture elongation (up to 285%), and wear resistance. |
| Appearance and color | Commonly used solid colors such as black, red, yellow, green, and blue are used to distinguish circuit phases. | High contrast yellow black, red white, green white stripes are commonly used to achieve eye-catching warning effects. |
| Working environment | Pay attention to temperature range (such as -18 ℃ to 105 ℃), weather resistance, and moisture resistance. |
Pay attention to the adhesion to rough surfaces such as cement, ceramic tiles, and epoxy flooring, as well as their water and oil resistance.

Please be sure to pay attention to:
It is strictly prohibited to wrap wires with floor tape: PVC floor tape does not have effective insulation properties, and wrapping wire joints with it cannot prevent leakage, which poses a high risk of electric shock and fire.
It is not recommended to use electrical tape to stick to the ground: the wear and pressure resistance of electrical tape is far inferior to that of floor tape. It will quickly wear, peel off, and become dirty when stuck on the ground, and cannot serve as a marking function.
