Description

Scotch® Rubber Splicing Tape 23 is a highly conformable, self-fusing EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) based, high voltage splicing tape. It is a non-vulcanizing, shelf-stable tape with excellent electrical properties. Scotch® Tape 23 can be used as an insulation for low-voltage application as well as an insulation for splices up to 69,000 volts.

Type Features

• Can be used to splice and terminate cables whose emergency overload temperatures can reach 266°F (130°C)
• Based on Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR)
• Physical and electrical properties are unaffected by the degree of stretch
• Self-fusing tape
• Excellent electrical properties
• A special polyester liner which will not stick to the tape upon unwind
• Compatible with all solid dielectric cable Insulation:
  1. Polyethylene (high and low density)
  2. Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLP)
  3. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
  4. Butyl Rubber
  5. Ethylene Propylene Rubber (PVC)
  6. Oil-based rubber

Applications

• Primary electrical insulation for splicing cable from 600 volts through 69,000 volts on all solid dielectric cables
• Primary insulation for building stress cones on cables up to 35,000 volts on all solid dielectric cables
• Jacketing on high-voltage splices and terminations
• Moisture sealing electrical connections
• Bus bar insulations
• End sealing high-voltage cables
