Trusted solutions for electrical insulation materials
Maintain a safe current with our protective custom die-cut components. Bristol Tape is the leader in sourcing tapes, foams and foils from top-tier brands, and we die cut these to a precision fit.
When it comes to keeping electrical systems operational and safe, high-quality electrical insulation materials and precision fit are essential for safe operations of everything from air conditioners to laptops to industrial equipment. These materials are engineered to contain the current to conductive zones, while maintaining a protective barrier to other components.
We build trusted solutions that fit. Partner with Bristol Tape for custom components that block energy loss, short circuits and electric shock.
Key Considerations for Electrical Insulation Material
Tight tolerances
A precision fit ensures proper insulation coverage and prevents short circuits.
Dielectric strength
Engineered to maintain resistance to dielectric breakdown and maintain device safety.
Environmental resistance
Ability to withstand moisture, chemicals, UV exposure and extreme temperatures, particularly in outdoor or industrial environments.
Flame retardancy
Compliance with fire safety standards.
Adhesion strength
A strong, durable grip that keeps components in position during assembly and operation.
We routinely convert these electrical insulation materials to provide exceptional thermal and electrical insulation products while enhancing power density.

Our Process: Tailored With Precision, Optimized for Efficiency
The process of die cutting foam, tape, and films may seem like a straightforward process. However, achieving the level of performance required of electrical insulation materials requires a seasoned professional with expertise in electrical insulation materials and machining methods.
At the same time, you want to work with a converter that’s equipped to make your processes more streamlined and efficient.
At Bristol Tape, our decades of experience in making top-quality insulation parts for OEMs makes all the difference in performance and quality. We take pride in creating solutions that enhance product quality and bolster your brand. While we’re at it, we hope to save you time and money. That’s a winning combination.
Materials sourcing
With our long-standing supplier relationships with top brands like 3M™, you get access to a reliable pipeline of top-quality material. Whether you’ve pinpointed a specific pressure sensitive tape or foam that insulates, or need assistance narrowing your selection, we’ll work closely with your team to engineer the best electrical insulation solution.
Slitting and die cutting
Our skilled team can fabricate a wide variety of parts, from slitting tape into custom widths to replicating gaskets with intricate parts, all with care and precision.
Sometimes referred to as a multi-sheet, we can group a variety-pack of adhesive-backed electronic insulation parts on a single sheet. Simplify your assembly process and reduce errors.
Die-cut parts made from tape, foams and foils can become unwieldy to sort and manage when packed loose in a container – particularly when they’re made for compact electronic devices. Use our labeling services for bagging, sorting and inventory of the custom parts.
Take your manufacturing to the next level by letting us source and manage your inventory of parts and materials, shipped to your door when you need them. Learn more about our distribution and stocking services to help you stay on top of your supply chain.
