Self-Amalgamating Tape: PIB SCAPA 2501 0.50*19mm/10m

Self-amalgamating tape E9755 made by SCAPA is based on PIB (Polyisobutylene) rubber. It is a versatile material for waterproofing, corrosion protection, jointing and repair of cables - used indoors and outdoors. Product properties and correct application ensure waterproof connections (for fresh and sea water) in a wide range of temperatures.

• Connections of coaxial cables (F-connectors)
• Connections of CCTV cables (BNC and F connectors)
• Connections of UTP/FTP cables
• Connections of coaxial cables in WLAN devices (N, SMA, SMA/RP and other connectors)
• Connections of coaxial cables from WLAN devices to external antennas or access points (N, SMA/RP connectors)

• The tape amalgamates rapidly when applied under tension;
• Wide operating temperature range: -40 ... +90 ^oC;
• Compatibility with a wide range of rubber and plastic dielectric cable insulation (e.g. PE, PVC, butyl, neoprene);
• High resistance to prolonged immersion in water and excellent resistance to ozone;
• The tape can be removed cleanly from most surfaces - ideal for temporary repairs;
• The tape is interleaved with a disposable plastic liner.

It is non-adhesive tape - the sealing effect is maintained due to self-amalgamating between the layers of the tape. The surface for applying has to be dry, dust- and grease-free. Installation temperature has to be above 0^oC (the higher temperature the shorter time needed for self-amalgamating - at 20^oC it takes about 24 hours). The final wrapping is void-free and homogeneous, tightly bound to the surface. It cannot be unwrapped - the only way of removing the tape is longitudinal incision. The tape does not react with the substrate nor does it leave marks on it.

APPLICATIONS:

• Protection of cable connections;
• Protection of cable terminals - indoors and outdoors;
• Additional insulation and waterproofing of cables and electrical components;
• Corrosion protection of metal pipework;
• Wrapping-up tool handles for insulating and improving convenience;
• Replacement of old, broken or insufficient insulation layers.

Instructions for use

The surface for applying has to be clean and dry (no dust, grease, oil, or petroleum-type solvent).

Application method: wrap the tape (without plastic liner) around the object, stretching it to the point that its width reduces to about 2/3, and make 50% overlap. It guaranties tight adhesion of the tape to the object and between its layers. Proper stretching is very important for the self-amalgamating process. The full process takes about 24 hours at 20 ^oC and can be reduced to several hours at higher temperatures.

The item is sold in rolls that should be stored in the original packaging. The storage life of individually shrink-wrapped roll is at least one year (between +10^oC and +30^oC).
