Self-Fusing Silicone Rubber Electrical Tape 70 HDT with Tapered Edge Data Sheet - PVC 1.0 Product Description - Low and high-density polyethylene Scotch Silicone Rubber Electrical Tape 70 cross-linked HDT is a high-temperature arc-and track- resistant tape composed of self-fusing, As primary insulation where Class inorganic silicone rubber and easy-tear ( 80C/356F) temperatures are and easy-strip liner. The 70 HDT product encountered i.e., silicone rubber cables. also has a triangular (tapered edge) profile As splice o verwrap on spacer cable and blue guidelines to make half-lapping operating at 5 kV and abo ve. application easier. 3.0 Data Tape Features Scotch 70 Tape has a peak thickness of 20 Excellent track resistance mils, an edge thickness of 8 mils, and a blue Excellent arc resistance center guideline. It is available in roll size Excellent ozone resistance in. wide x 30 ft. long. The core is in. I.D. High dielectric strength Class H material 4.0 Specifications ( 80C continuous operation) Product Workable at extremely low temperatures The insulating tape must be composed Excellent conformability of self-fusing, inorganic silicone rubber Excellent instantaneous fusion does not with an easy-tearing and easy-stripping need to be held down polyester liner. The product must be Sky Matches Sky Blue Gray Munsell Blue Gray and conform to Munsell Color 5BG7.0/0.4 No.5BG7.0/0.4. The tape must be capable Excellent weathering characteristics of operating continuously at Class H AA-5963 Class-I Type-II temperatures ( 80C/356F). The tape must be compatible with all synthetic cable insulations as well as cable splicing 2.0 Applications compounds.
