PVC (polyvinyl chloride) tape is indeed generally waterproof and insulated, making it suitable for electrical and other applications where moisture resistance is important.
The flame-retardant properties of PVC tape can be useful for safety in certain settings, though the specifics of its fire resistance may depend on the exact formulation.
PVC is a synthetic plastic material, so while it may provide environmental benefits in some ways (e.g. durability, reusability), there are also environmental concerns around the production and disposal of PVC products. The "environmentally friendly" claim may depend on the criteria being used.
For specific applications, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's specifications and any relevant safety/quality standards to ensure the tape meets the required performance characteristics.
Does this help provide some context around the claims you mentioned about this PVC electrical tape? Let me know if you have any other questions!
