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.

Improve safety with this electrical tape from 3M. Thanks to its effective heat dissipation, you can use it to splice and terminate cables with overload temperatures up to +130°C. High insulation properties let you wrap low-voltage wires that handle up to 69kV. The self-amalgamating EPR base is water-resistant for use in humid conditions, while high tensile strength supports tight wrappings to keep out moisture.

• Polyester lining provides protection and keeps the surface clean when applied
• Broad operating temperature range between -29°C and +130°C for use in harsh conditions
• ASTM approval assures you the tape has passed safety and quality testing
• RoHS compliance indicates no more than minimal amounts of any harmful materials

• Solid dielectric cables
• Jacketing on high-voltage splices
• Busbar insulation
• End-sealing of cables

Yes, it withstands splitting, cracking and flagging so it's suitable for outdoor use.
