In electricity, heat insulating tape is used for thermal isolation alongside other forms of insulation such as electric work. Materials with heat insulating properties like fiberglass or silicone coated fabrics are used to make insulating tape. For example, in electrical systems, hot components such as power transistors or power resistors are thermally insulated with it. Also, during the installation of industrial processes, it is used to thermally wind pipes or machinery which improves the machines’ energy efficiency by preventing heat loss.
