Product description
3M Tape 23 Scotch Rubber Splicing Tape is a highly conformable, self-fusing EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) based, high voltage splicing tape. It is a non-vulcanizing, shelfstable tape with excellent electrical properties. Scotch® Tape 23 can be used as an insulation for low-voltage application as well as an insulation for splices up to 69,000 volts.
Features of 3M Tape 23 Scotch Rubber Splicing Tape
- Can be used to splice and terminate cables whose emergency overload temperatures can reach 266°F (130°C)
- Based on Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR)
- Physical and electrical properties are unaffected by the degree of stretch
- Self-fusing tape
- Excellent electrical properties
- A special polyester liner which will not stick to the tape upon unwind
- Compatible with all solid dielectric cable Insulation:
1. Polyethylene (high and low density)
2. Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLP)
3. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
4. Butyl Rubber
5. Ethylene Propylene Rubber (PVC)
6. Oil-based rubbe
Applications of 3M Tape 23 Scotch Rubber Splicing Tape
- Primary electrical insulation for splicing cable from 600 volts through 69,000 volts on all solid dielectric cables
- Primary insulation for building stress cones on cables up to 35,000 volts on all solid dielectric cables
- Jacketing on high-voltage splices and terminations
- Moisture sealing electrical connections
- Bus bar insulations
- End sealing high-voltage cables
