The electrical industry uses tape for a wide variety of reasons. Since copper is an excellent conductor, it is often used to help ground large electrical installations to prevent large discharges which can be potentially dangerous if left un-ground. Audio components require the use of copper often because the ability for copper to process a high quality electrical signal is important in the audio industry. Other options for copper tape will range depending on the electricians that use them. Electricians use copper earthling tape to help fix several problems which may arise when working with electrical components.

Artists also find use for copper earthling tape as it can be easily molded into place to make decorative borders and other projects. Stained glass arrangements and sculptures are well known to use copper tape, as it can easily be molded into place and melted using several tools to seal in the pieces of glass being used. Several crafts also benefit from the use of copper as it can make very decorative accents to the artistic pieces.

The gardening industry is well known for using copper tapes as well. Since copper is a natural pest control option for mollusks such as snails and slugs, it is used in various applications in commercial and home gardening. The tape is usually laid out around the edges of homes to prevent the presence of slime trails up the houses which could become unsightly. Around the garden, it helps to slow the rate of which slugs and snails can access crops to prevent the loss of fruits and vegetables which are ravaged by the mollusks during the growth season.

Copper earthling tape is also one of the things that is used to help prevent lighting catastrophes. These can be used to route lightning strikes away from a home or building to a better grounded source. It can also be placed around properties to direct lightning flow away from valuable homes and other important locations around the property. This helps to prevent fires and unnecessary damages which are caused when lightning occurs. It is common for lightning to strike in the same place more than once when copper earthling tape is in use, and that is a good thing.

Insulated earthling tapes produced from copper are also largely used in the electrical industrial setting for their ability to route electrical energy. They can be a quick and simple option to reroute necessary electricity from a larger source such as copper bus bars. These tapes can also be custom embossed so that the company which installs the tape is known and can be contacted when there are problems. When insulation is required, PVC is usually used because it is easy to coat onto the copper tape. This PVC can also be colored for easy coded use by companies.
