3M Scotch® 23 Black EPDM Electrical Tape, 25mm x 7m

Scotch® Rubber Splicing Tape 23 is a highly conformable 0.76 mm thick, self-amalgamating EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) base for rubber splicing. It is designed to splice and terminate cables with overload temperatures of 266 degrees F(130 degree C), due to dissipating heat affectively. The snakeskin liner is easily removed when applying the tape, to allow the self-fusing ethylene propylene rubber, high insulating voltage tape.

Self-amalgamating tapes made from an insulating elastomer, usable at low, medium and high voltages.
The layers amalgamate into a homogeneous mass after application.
Applications: reconstitution of insulating cable up to 69 kV, replacing soldering, metal braids on lead sheathing, making waterproof joints.

• Features a special polyester liner that will not stick when unwinding

• Use Scotch® Rubber Splicing Tape 23 for low or high voltage applications and joints up to 69 kV.
• This 0.76 mm thick, highly conformable, self-amalgamating EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) based tape can be stretched up to 100% for void-free, moisture-resistant insulation.
• It’s non-vulcanising and shelf-stable with excellent electrical properties.
Featuring a special polyester liner that will not stick when unwinding, this tape is ideal for moisture sealing electrical connections.

Yes, the electrical tape is designed for this purpose, but would recommended seek professional advice to deal with exposed wires.

This electrical tape is designed for high-voltage splicing and insulation tasks, providing a vital solution for users in the automation, electronics, and electrical industries.
