3M 7000132741 | 15' OAL x 1.500" Width x 30.0 mil Thickness Rubber Splicing Tape

Scotch tape 2242 is a linerless 30 mil thick, general purpose, electrical rubber tape that's suitable for bus bar insulation and moisture sealing of cable ends. The high voltage, flame retardant tape ensures excellent tacking with its self fusing, ethylene propylene rubber resin adhesive.

Scotch Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 2242 is an economical, general purpose, rubber tape. The tape is a highly conformable, linerless EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) based electrical insulating tape. Scotch Tape 2242 is used in splicing and terminating wires and cables rated up to 90°C and 600 volt maximum.

The tape will meet industry specifications for flame retardance and has the necessary physical and electrical properties to provide immediate moisture seals and void-free buildup.

Scotch Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 2242 should be applied in successive half-lapped level wound layers until desired buildup is reached. To eliminate voids in critical areas, highly elongate Scotch Splicing Tape 2242. Stretch tape in these critical areas just short of the breaking point; doing so will not alter its physical or electrical properties. In less critical areas, less elongation may be used. Normally Scotch Splicing Tape 2242 is stretched 3⁄4 of its original width in these critical areas. Always attempt to half-lap to produce a uniform buildup.
