Butyl tape is perfect for areas in the home where leaks and corrosion occur because it is waterproof and highly adhesive. Use butyl tapes for roofing repairs, leaking pipes, ventilation systems, etc.
As mentioned, different colors indicate different types of electrical tape features. Many standard electrical tapes are sold in black, but you can find them in nearly every color. Choose the color of tape based on the application you will be using it for and its voltage, phase, and other electric-relevant information.
