The tape must be flame retardant. Installation Techniques Scotch 130C Electrical Tape should be applied in successive half-lapped, level-wound layers until desired build-up is reached. This tape should be applied like any rubber tape: that is, the side of the tape wrapped inside the roll should be applied outside on the splice. This will help prevent the roll from getting progressively further away from the work area. To eliminate voids in critical areas, highly elongate 130C Tape. Stretch tape in these critical areas just short of the breaking point doing so will not alter its physical or electrical properties. In less critical areas, less elongation may be used. Normally 130C Tape is stretched of its original width in these critical areas. Always attempt to half-lap to produce a uniform buildup. When using 130C Tape for splicing cables above 15 kV, always highly elongate the tape throughout the entire splice. Maintenance Under normal storage conditions, Scotch 130C Electrical Tape has a 5-year shelf life. The tape is not impaired by freezing nor by overheated storage up to the point of flow which prevents removal from the package. 3M UK PLC 3M Ireland 3M UK PLC Electrical Products Sales Office Sales Office 3M House, PO Box 1 3M House, Adelphi Centre PO Box 393 Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 1JU Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, Ireland Bedford MK41 0YE Telephone: 01344 858616 Telephone: 353 1 280 3555 Telephone: 01234 229462 Fax: 01344 858758 Fax: 353 1 280 3509 Fax: 01234 229433
