Rubber Tapes


Rubber TapesRubber tape is a Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) based high-insulating voltage tape. It is used for electrical insulation, water sealing and mechanical padding and shaping.

Rubber tape is a splicing compound. The tape is applied to the splice with a light tension so that each layer presses tightly against the one beneath it. This pressure causes the rubber tape to blend into a solid mass.

In roll form, there is a layer of paper or treated cloth between each layer of rubber tape. This layer prevents the rubber from fusing while still on the roll. The paper or cloth is peeled off and discarded before the tape is applied to the splice.

Types
Rubber tapes are of various forms depending on various industrial and commercial applications.
Features
Rubber tape provides a fast build of insulating materials and water seals on irregular joints and connections. It completely covers the entire joint or connection and makes a gasket –type seal onto the existing cable jacket. It prevents water seepage, even on very slick materials such as high-density polypropylene. Rubber tapes are typically overwrapped with vinyl tape, which forces the rubber flow and provides a slick abrasion-resistant outer surface. Most rubber tapes use a liner to prevent the tape layers from bonding or fusing in place on the roll. The liner is removed during application.

Applications
Some rubber tapes are made for special applications. These types are semi conducting and will pass electrical current, which presents a shock hazard. Also used for swimming costumes and pants edges.
