Adhesive Electrical Tapes
The Red2go range of quality tapes for automotive, marine, domestic and industrial electrical applications. PVC Tapes made by 3M, Nitto Denko and HellermannTyton assure performance for electricians or anyone that wants the right amount of stretch and adhesion to perform the task. Self-fusing rubber, butyl rubber, mastic, and silicone tapes provide water and weatherproof protection to cable joints and terminations, see the products description and specification tabs to select the correct tape to suit your application. Heat Shrink Tape from Radiform is a heavy duty, 1mm thick and 50mm wide material, it is ideal for busbar insulation and cable jacket repair.

Advanced PVC Insulation and Industrial Adhesion Performance
Standard trade wiring requires high-quality vinyl backings that provide consistent elasticity and raw holding power without peeling or degradation over time. Our high-performance premium PVC Tapes are manufactured by industry giants 3M, Nitto Denko, and Avery Dennison to assure dependable, professional-grade performance for electricians or anyone that wants the right amount of stretch and adhesion to perform the task. These commercial-grade vinyl tapes deliver excellent dielectric strength and physical flexibility, allowing installers to wrap tight, wrinkle-free contours around complex inline cable joins, busbars, and wire harnesses while establishing a reliable insulation barrier against potential short circuits.
Heavy-Duty Weatherproofing and High-Exposure Substrate Repairs
Achieving total safety across sub-surface, marine, or exposed outdoor infrastructure requires specialised compound tapes capable of forming an absolute barrier against moisture tracking and atmospheric oxidation. Our extensive online range features high-performance Radiform R20 Self Fusing Butyl Rubber, Mastic, and Silicone Tapes specifically designed to provide an absolute water and weatherproof protection layer to cable joints and terminations. These advanced tapes chemical cross-link and fuse to themselves upon application, curing into a seamless, homogenous rubber jacket that completely blocks out moisture, dirt, and corrosive salts without relying on integrated chemical adhesives.
For the absolute harshest operational settings, our specialised Heat Shrink Tape from Radiform delivers maximum-capacity restoration of damaged cable insulation jackets. This heavy-duty tape features a thick 1mm profile and a wide 50mm footprint explicitly engineered for industrial busbar insulation and rapid or mid-span cable jacket repairs. When heated with a high-output heat gun or gas torch, the tape contracts tightly around the cable frame while activating a robust internal adhesive lining, delivering a permanent mechanical defense and moisture-tight seal that restores the structural integrity of low-voltage cabling up to 1kV.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of using self-fusing rubber or silicone tape over standard PVC tape?
Standard PVC electrical tape relies on a chemical adhesive backing to stick to surfaces, which can break down, leave messy residues, or peel away when exposed to moisture, intense heat, or automotive oils. Self-fusing rubber and silicone tapes do not contain any adhesive; instead, they are engineered to molecularly bond completely to themselves when stretched and wrapped, forming a permanent, seamless, and completely waterproof rubber block that will never unravel.
Can Radiform heat shrink tape be used to repair damaged underground cables?
Yes, our heavy-duty Radiform heat shrink tape features a thick 1mm cross-linked polymer base lined with a high-performance hot-melt adhesive. This specialised combination makes it the ideal choice for executing code-compliant outer jacket repairs on damaged low-voltage power cables, as the heated tape shrinks firmly over the damaged area and cures into a permanent moisture barrier suitable for direct underground burial.
Which premium brands do you supply for everyday electrical wiring?
At Red2Go, we do not compromise on trade consumables, sourcing our everyday vinyl wiring insulation stock exclusively from trusted global manufacturing pioneers including 3M, Nitto Denko, and HellermannTyton to guarantee uniform stretch characteristics, excellent flame-retardant safety, and unwavering adhesion.
How do I choose the correct specialty tape for a marine fuse or distribution and fuse box wiring?
Selecting the right compound depends entirely on your exact exposure hazards. We recommend utilising our premium PVC vinyl tapes for basic low-voltage phase colour-coding inside dry enclosures, deploying self-fusing silicone or butyl rubber options for sealing open-air connections against saltwater spray, and utilising mastic sealing tapes to completely wrap and pack irregular cable entry bulkheads against moisture ingress.
