Wrapping tape on a high voltage cable can be time consuming and error prone since the careful build-up of tape requires accurate half-lapping and constant tension in order to reduce build-in air voids. Rubber tapes are designed to stretch−some up to 1000%. Elongating the tape this way drives to compression, and that results in the strong self-fusion that provides great insulation and moisture protection.

Silicone tape is renowned for its waterproof properties. It is an ideal solution for sealing leaks in boats, outdoor equipment, or even temporarily fixing damaged gutters during heavy rain.

Silicone tape is a double-sided, non-adhesive rubber tape that is:

3. Flexibility and Compressibility Butyl weather stripping is highly flexible, allowing it to conform to irregular surfaces and effectively fill gaps of varying sizes. It can compress under pressure yet return to its original shape, maintaining a consistent seal regardless of temperature changes.

We are pleased to stock a number of different self-fusing tapes. All are electrically insulating though some are often used for sealing work (e.g. fixing a leaking hose) in addition to electrical applications. 

Busbars are conductive material strips used to distribute electrical energy within power distribution systems. Given the high voltage levels these systems often operate under, the insulation of busbars becomes paramount. Proper insulation safeguards against electrical arcing, shorts, and leakage currents, which can lead to catastrophic failures and safety hazards.
