Marking adhesive tapes

A marking adhesive tape is designed to identify, differentiate or visually locate components, cables, reels or technical areas. Its colour facilitates the quick recognition of items during manufacturing, maintenance, quality control or traceability operations.

A marking adhesive tape can be used to identify parts, signal a function, differentiate several components or locate isolated areas. It is particularly suitable for electrical, electronic and industrial environments where items must remain clearly identifiable during production, control or maintenance.

Yes, some marking adhesive tapes also have electrical insulation properties. Their polyester backing and dielectric strength allow them to be used for winding, covering components or insulating motors and transformers. However, electrical performance must be verified for each reference.

Yellow offers a visible contrast that facilitates the quick identification of parts and components. It can be integrated into an internal colour code to identify a function, a product family, a control stage or a particular area. The meaning of each colour must remain clearly defined within the company.

Some technical tapes have a surface suitable for laser engraving or other marking processes. They can thus receive a number, a code, a Data Matrix, or information allowing for the identification and tracking of a part. Compatibility depends on the adhesive backing and the marking technology used.

A technical marking tape is primarily used to identify parts, cables, or components. A floor marking tape is specifically designed to signal walkways, storage areas, or locations on the ground. These products do not undergo the same constraints and are therefore not necessarily interchangeable.

The choice depends on the surface, the desired colour, the duration of use, and mechanical, thermal, chemical, or electrical constraints. It is also necessary to check the dielectric strength, the maximum temperature, and the possibility of engraving or printing on the tape. DERFI can study the application to propose a solution suitable for the identification and traceability of components.
