Printer Friendly 2501 PIB Self-Amalgamating Tape
DESCRIPTION:2501 PIB Self-Amalgamating Tape is a general-purpose insulating, self-amalgamating tape based on PIB (Polyisobutylene) rubber. Its colour is black.
APPLICATIONS:
- For jointing and repairing a wide range of power and distribution cables up to 46 kV.
- For making watertight seals at polyethylene sleeve joints on polyethylene-sleeved telephone cables both above and below ground.
- For general-purpose protection and waterproofing.
- For insulation, waterproofing and protection of electrical components.
- For corrosion protection of metal pipework.
- For protection of joints against seawater in marine environments.
- For general-purpose DIY temporary repairs.
- For waterproofing and protecting cables and components on satellite dishes.
PRODUCT BENEFITS:
- Good physical and electrical properties with a high degree of stability under conditions of use.
- The tape amalgamates rapidly when applied under tension to provide a void-free homogeneous wrapping, without the need for external heat or pressure.
- Compatible with a wide range of rubber and plastic dielectric cable insulation. These include polyethylene, cross-linked polyethylene, ethylene propylene rubber, PVC, butyl and neoprene.
- Compatible with other electrical tapes, including PVC tapes.
- Highly resistant to prolonged immersion in water and has excellent resistance to ozone.
- The product can be removed cleanly from most substrates, making it suitable for temporary repairs.
- Service temperature -40 °C to +90°.
- Supplied in an easy to handle and apply tape form. The product is interleaved with a disposable plastic liner.

STANDARD PRESENTATION:
- Thickness: 0.5mm
- Roll length: 3m, 5m, 10m
- Roll width: 19mm, 25mm,38mm, 50mm
- Core: 38mm dense plastic
- Packaging: Individually shrink-wrapped rolls
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Care should be taken to avoid direct contact between the tape and petroleum-type solvents and oils. Oils may
affect the electrical properties of the tape.
The rolls should be stored flat on their cut edges in the original packaging. The product must be protected from
dust, heat, moisture, direct sunlight and solvent fumes. Storage temperature between +10°C and +30°C. Under
these conditions, the storage life of the tape in a temperate climate will be at least five years.
