BIS CERTIFICATION FOR PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE INSULATING TAPES FOR ELECTRICAL PURPOSES IS 7809: PART 3: SEC 1: 1986

In electrical work, prioritizing safety is paramount. ISI/BIS certification is compulsory for Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Insulating Tapes for Electrical Purposes. These tapes, crafted from plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are esteemed for their flexibility and versatility, vital attributes in electrical setups. The PVC backing material, infused with plasticizers, offers substantial dielectric strength, facilitating efficient electrical insulation. Moreover, the pressure-sensitive adhesive simplifies application and ensures robust adhesion to diverse surfaces. Additionally, these tapes feature high dielectric strength, a crucial factor in preventing electrical breakdown, and are engineered to uphold their effectiveness across various temperature ranges.

Their plasticized PVC composition ensures flexibility, allowing them to adapt to irregular surfaces commonly found in electrical environments. Serving as a crucial element in safeguarding electrical systems, these tapes mitigate the risk of accidental electrical contact and offer protection against potential hazards.
