Permacel

Permacel refers to a brand of electrical insulating tape, specifically a type of paper tape coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. It's known for its high tensile strength and conformability, making it suitable for various applications where electrical insulation is required. While the term "Permacel" was originally a trademarked brand name, it has, in some contexts, become a generic descriptor for similar types of paper-based electrical tapes, although this usage isn't technically accurate. The tape is commonly used in the electronics industry for holding wires in place, insulating components, and masking during soldering or painting processes. Its paper backing provides good mechanical protection and can be easily written on for identification purposes.
