Installation Material

- further categories

When it comes to the installation of electrical or mechanical systems, the right installation materials are essential for safety, reliability and longevity. From vulcanizing tape to reflective tape to cable ties, we have a variety of materials with unique properties and benefits.

The construction of various electrical networks involves a complex process consisting of many steps, requiring careful planning, appropriate measuring instruments, tools, raw materials, installation materials and expertise.

In this complex system, installation materials ensure safety and reliability. To guarantee a long service life, the use of quality installation materials is essential, but it is equally important to comply with occupational health and safety regulations.

Why vulcanising tape is an essential component of installation materials

Self-vulcanizing tape, also known as vulcanizing tape, is a type of mounting material that is ideal for insulating and protecting electrical connections and cables, protecting them from moisture and corrosion. This tape is made from a special type of rubber that is self-tensioning and fuses together when overlapped. Its flexible and adhesive properties make it suitable for use on irregularly shaped objects. Self-vulcanising tape is also resistant to extreme temperatures, making it ideal for use in harsh environments.

What are the benefits of using shrink tubing?

Another popular installation material is shrink tubing or heat shrinkable insulation material. This cylindrical tube is made from a specially formulated polymer that contracts when exposed to heat. This material is commonly used to protect and insulate electrical connections, wires and cables. It is not only recommended for use by professionals, but is also a very useful installation material for DIY work at home. The shrink tube fits tightly to the surface of the object it covers, creating a tight and secure seal. This material is available in a wide range of sizes, colours and materials, making it ideal for customisation to individual requirements.

Within the installation materials, cable ties guarantee transparency!

Cable ties are another basic installation material that is often used in various electrical installation works. These binders are available in a wide range of sizes and materials in the DND webshop and can be used to secure and organise cables, wires and hoses. Cable ties are typically made from nylon, which is known for its durability, abrasion resistance and resistance to moisture and chemicals.
This installation material is easy for all of us to use, requiring no expertise. Cable ties can also be used to eliminate cable tangles. You can also choose a Velcro cable tie, thanks to which you can easily reuse this installation material.

Screw is one of the mainstays of fixing materials

Screws are a commonly used assembly material used to fasten various components. They are typically made of metal and come in many sizes and types, depending on the application. Screws are used to connect two or more parts, to fasten panels or enclosures, and to mount various components in electrical or mechanical systems

What you need to know about reflective tape

When carrying out installation work, the work area itself should be marked with a simple self-adhesive, highly visible safety tape. It can be used effectively in any environment and application takes only a minute or two. Reflective tape is also ideal for many other applications. For example, to mark walkways, stairs, ledges or low-lying objects and clothing. Self-adhesive, reflective tape increases visibility and safety in all situations, but is most prominent in dark environments as it reflects light from ambient light sources.

Installation materials, including duct tape, guarantee safety

Nowadays, insulating tape, or duct tape as it is known to many, is not only used in electrical installation work, it is found in virtually every household, in many walks of life, such as in the construction and automotive industries. It is mainly used to wrap and insulate the connection points of low-voltage electrical cables. But it is also used to form cable harnesses and to mark wires. They also perform a mechanical protective function.

Which adhesive tape to choose?

Depending on the application, adhesive tapes should have different properties. For example, compared to duct tape, universal adhesive tapes are significantly more flexible. Not only do they have higher tensile strength, but they are also fully waterproof. Therefore, they have significant applications not only in the home, but also in commercial and industrial applications. Especially when it comes to fixing something.
Both in shape and material, double sided tape is more similar to duct tape than its universal sibling. With this tape, there is usually a thin layer of transparent film between each layer. This must be removed when used, but its main function is to protect the layers from sticking together. This adhesive tape is used when you want to stick something on. This can be a cable socket, a plastic switch holder, but you can also use it to fix a mirror to tiles or furniture tiles!


In summary, mounting hardware is an essential component in the setup and maintenance of various electrical and mechanical systems. In addition to vulcanising tape, shrink tubing, cable ties, screws, reflective tape, adhesive tape and insulating tape - in other words, in addition to installation materials - you can buy many of the tools you already need for installation in the DND webshop. By choosing the right installation materials, tools and measuring instruments, you can ensure the safety, reliability and long life of your electrical systems and wiring.
