vulcanizing tape. The tape will adhere to itself and create a tight, secure bond that is resistant to moisture and corrosion.
We are pleased to stock a number of different self-fusing tapes. All are electrically insulating though some are often used for sealing work (e.g. fixing a leaking hose) in addition to electrical applications.
You can read a quick summary of each of our main types below or click here to browse our full range.
Wrapping tape on a high voltage cable can be time consuming and error prone since the careful build-up of tape requires accurate half-lapping and constant tension in order to reduce build-in air voids. Rubber tapes are designed to stretch−some up to 1000%. Elongating the tape this way drives to compression, and that results in the strong self-fusion that provides great insulation and moisture protection.
No matter what kind of control box you’re designing, it’s important to follow the established best practices of control box design . Some of the core principles of designing a great control box are as follows:
As with any adhesive, there are actions to ensure your project is adequately covered and protected. To properly install butyl tape, follow these simple steps.
