Wikipedia
Friction tape
Friction tape is a type of woven cloth adhesive tape, historically made of cotton, impregnated with a rubber-based adhesive. Sticky on both sides, it is mainly used by electricians to insulate splices in electric wires and cables. The rubber-based adhesive provides a degree of protection from liquids and corrosion, while the cloth mesh protects against punctures and abrasion. It has been universally supplanted by PVC-based electrical tape.

friction tape
Friction tape is a type of adhesive tape, typically made of cloth that is impregnated with a rubber-based adhesive, that is used primarily for insulating and protecting wires in electrical applications. Its thick, non-conductive properties make it ideal for covering and securing wire splices and connections. Its high friction surface also provides a good gripping quality in various mechanical applications.

Friction tape
Friction tape is a type of adhesive tape made from cloth impregnated with a rubber-based adhesive, and sometimes an abrasive substance, mainly used to increase grip or friction. Because the adhesive is impregnated in the cloth, friction tape is sticky on both sides. The rubber based adhesive makes it an electrical insulator and provides a degree of protection from liquids and corrosion. In the past, friction tape was widely used by electricians, but PVC electrical tape has replaced it in most applications today. The frictional properties of the tape come from the cloth material which is often made from cotton. One common use is to wrap it around the blade of a hockey stick to improve puck control. Another use is to wrap it around the handle of a softball or baseball bat to give oneself a better grip. It's also useful as a base when wrapping a bicycle handlebar with handlebar tape.
