Scotch Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 130C Data Sheet April 2015 Product Scotch Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 130C is a highly conformable, linerless, ethylene rubber Description (EPR), high-voltage insulating tape, formulated to provide excellent thermal dissipation of splice heat. The tape is designed for use in splicing and terminating wires and cables. Rated up to 90C continuous operating temperatures and short-term 130C overload service. The tape has excellent physical and electrical properties, which provide immediate moisture seals and void-free build-ups. This product can be used for low and high-voltage (through 69 kV) applications. Features Linerless, self-bonding, primary insulating tape rated through 69 kV High thermal conductivity Ethylene propylene base Excellent physical and electrical properties Designed to insulate splices and terminate cables whose overload temperatures can reach 130C Physical and electrical properties unaffected by degree of stretch Compatible with common, solid dielectric cable insulation Uniform tape unwind from roll Small roll size (O.D.) Five-year shelf life Stable over wide application temperature range Weather resistant Applications Primary insulation for splicing all types of solid dielectric insulated cables through 69 kV Primary insulation for building stress cones on all types of solid dielectric insulated cables up to 35 kV bus bar insulation Jacketing (secondary insulation) on high-voltage splices and terminations Moisture-sealing electrical connections Bus bar insulation End-sealing high-voltage cables Motor leads Jacket repairs Specifications The high-voltage corona resistant tape must be supplied without a liner, be based on ethylene propylene rubber, and be capable of emergency operating cable temperature of 130C. The tape must be capable of being applied in either stretched or unstretched conditions without resulting in loss of either physical or electrical properties. The tape must not split, crack, slip, or flag when exposed to various environments (indoor or outdoor). The tape must be compatible with all synthetic cable insulations and have a shelf life of five years. Engineering Splicing and terminating solid dielectric cable shall be done in accordance with drawings engineered /Architectural by the splice material manufacturer. All splices and terminations shall be insulated using Scotch Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 130C. 1 of 3 3 Scotch Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 130C Typical Not for specifications.
