3M 7000007286 | 23-3/4X30FT Scotch 30' OAL x 0.750" Width x 30.0 mil Thickness Rubber Splicing Tape

Description

The 3M 7000007286 Scotch 23 rubber splicing tape is a high-quality, self-fusing rubber tape designed for reliable electrical splices and terminations. This 30 mil tape, made of self-fusing ethylene propylene rubber, provides build-up insulation while maintaining excellent conformability across irregular surfaces and cable junctions. The tape comes with a removable polyester liner that prevents sticking while unwinding and keeps the adhesive clean for consistent application. The tape is rated for continuous operation up to 90°C and has an emergency overload capability, making it ideal for demanding installations where thermal stability is important. To achieve a uniform wound insulation build, use successive, half-lapped, highly stretched wraps, the standard method for electrical splicing. Scotch 23 is a rubber splicing tape that comes in a 3/4" x 30 ft form factor, also known as 130c 3/4 x 30 ft, and is suitable for a variety of primary insulation and repair tasks. When ordering, specify 3M 130C tape to meet the application's size and performance requirements.

Product Features and Benefits

Premium 30 mil self-fusing EPR

The 3M Rubber Splicing Tape achieves high dielectric buildup for solid-dielectric cable splice insulation up to 69 kV while also providing long-term electrical protection.

Removable polyester liner

The polyester liner protects the tape until application and does not adhere to the tape on unwind, ensuring clean, controllable wrapping.

High-temperature performance

The 3M 130C tape is rated for continuous operation to 90°C with emergency overload capability, giving predictable thermal stability in service.

Halogen-free formulation

Meets halogen-free requirements for safer installations and reduced corrosive by-products in the event of fire.

Simple, repeatable application method

Apply in successive half-laps while stretching the tape to achieve a uniform, void-free insulation build for reliable electrical splices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Scotch 23 rubber splicing tape used for?

It is used as a primary insulation buildup for electrical splices and terminations requiring high-dielectric protection.

Is this suitable as electrical splicing tape for cable repairs?

Yes, its self-fusing EPR backing and 30 mil thickness make it suitable for electrical splices and cable repair work.

Does 130c 3 4x30 ft refer to this tape size?

Yes, 130c 3 4x30 ft is a common reference for the 3/4" x 30 ft configuration of Scotch 23 tape.

How to use rubber splicing tape correctly?

Wrap in successive half-laps while highly stretching the tape to a minimum of ¾ of the original width until the required build-up is reached.
