White PVC Electrical Insulation Tape, 2 inch x 20 m, Single Roll

This is white PVC electrical insulation tape, 2 inch (50 mm) wide and 20 m long, sold as a single roll. People buy white when black tape would look wrong on white wiring, or when they want a second colour for colour-coding their own electrical circuits.

On a white switchboard or a white appliance cord, black tape stands out like a patch on a new kurta, while white simply blends in.

What you get

Where it works best

1. Colour-coding your own wiring, where a band of white on one set of cables and black on another tells you which is which the next time you open the board.
2. Neat repairs on the outer sheath of white cables and appliance cords, when the insulation inside is not damaged.
3. Bundling cables that run along a white wall, a skirting or a false ceiling, where black tape would catch the eye.
4. Labelling a cable or a box, since many people write on white tape with a permanent marker. Try one strip first, because ink does not hold well on every tape.

How to choose

On width, 2 inch is more than twice the usual 18 to 19 mm electrician's roll. That makes it quick for bundling, bigger joints and sheath repairs, but clumsy on a joint between two thin wires, where a narrow roll works better.

Between the two colours, white suits homes, offices and showrooms with white walls and electrical fittings. In a dusty workshop I would take black PVC insulation tape in the same size instead, because white shows every bit of dirt and turns grey there quite fast. We keep all our electrical tapes in the PVC tapes collection.

One more honest point: we sell this tape (we do not make it), and the listing gives no voltage or temperature rating, so we suggest it only for small, low-risk jobs. Please switch off the power before you touch any wiring. For anything beyond a small repair, call a qualified electrician.

Questions buyers ask

Does white tape mean neutral or earth?

No, white tape has no fixed meaning on its own. Wiring colours are decided by your electrician and the rules they follow, so we do not sell this roll as a code colour. I would use it for colour-coding your own wiring, and keep a written note of what each colour means.

Will I get a GST invoice?
