DESCRIPTION:2515 / 2517 Black EPR Self Amalgamating Tape is an insulating, self-amalgamating, tape based on EPR rubber. (Ethylene Propylene Rubber). The product is available either in black or white.
APPLICATIONS:
- For jointing and repairing a wide range of solid dielectric power cables up to 132 kV.
- For insulation, waterproofing and protection of electrical components.
PRODUCT BENEFITS:
- Excellent 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.
- Excellent resistance to water and ozone.
- The tape will remove cleanly when cut, allowing it to be used as temporary insulation or protection.
- Service temperature -40 °C to +100°.
- Supplied in an easy to handle and apply tape form. The product is interleaved with a disposable plastic liner.
- White version allows easier blending into joints for marine applications

STANDARD PRESENTATION:
- Thickness: 0.5 / 0.75
- Roll length: 3m, 5m, 9.1m,10m
- Roll width: 19mm, 25mm, 38mm, 50 mm
- 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.
