3M Scotch 23 Rubber Splicing Electrical Tape - 19mm Wide x 9 Metres

• Highly conformable, and easy to use self-amalgamating high voltage electrical tape.
• Mechanical and electrical properties unaffected by degree of stretch.
• Can be used to splice and terminate cables with emergency overload temperature ratings of up to 130°C.

3M Scotch 23 Rubber Splicing Electrical Tape is a highly conformable grade of self-fusing (self-amalgamating) electrical tape used for splicing and terminating medium voltage cables. This self-amalgamating tape creates a secure, water resitant, tight bond by fusing to itself. 3M Scotch 23 Rubber Splicing Electrical tape is manufactured from a highly conformable Ethylene Propylene Rubber backing and can be wrapped tightly over most profiles including awkward or irregular shapes. 

3M Scotch 23 Tape can be stretched to up to double its original length during application (without affecting electrical or physical mechanical properties) and can be used to create a void-free, weather and moisture resistant insulation barrier. 

Scotch 23 Rubber Splicing Electrical Tape is black in colour, 0.76mm thick and is used as primary insulation for cable jointing and terminating up to 69kV with up to a 90°C continuous operating temperature and 130°C emergency overload temperature rating. It can also be used as a primary insulation barrier for building stress cones on cables up to 35 kV.

Each roll of 3M Scotch 23 Rubber Splicing Electrical Tape is supplied with a special polyester liner that is easy to remove and prevents the tape from fusing while packaged.
