No protection
INDOOR APPLICATIONS For indoor installations in dry areas, a lower IP rating (e.g., IP20) is sufficient.
Protection against vertically falling drops of water (condensation)
OUTDOOR OR WET LOCATIONS Applications in bathrooms, kitchens, or outdoor areas require a higher IP rating (e.g., IP65 or above) to protect against moisture or water jets.
Protection against direct sprays of water up to 15° from the vertical
Protected against direct sprays of water up to 60° from the vertical
SUBMERSIBLE REQUIREMENTS For underwater installations, such as pools or fountains, look for IP68-rated tape, which can withstand continuous immersion in water.
Protection against water sprayed from all directions (limited ingress permitted)
SAFETY AND DURABILITY Choosing the appropriate IP rating ensures the tape remains functional and safe in its intended environment, preventing failures due to water ingress or dust accumulation.
Protected against low pressure jets of water from all directions (limited ingress) Protected against temporary flooding of water (for use on ship decks – limited ingress permitted) Protected against the effect of temporary immersion between 15 cm & 1m
Protects against long periods of immersion under pressure
