Specification
The tape must be rubber based and capable of operating at
temperatures up to 80°C.
The tape must not split or crack when exposed to normal
operating temperatures. The tape must be compatible with
synthetic cable and wire insulations. The tape shall not be
corrosive to aluminum, or copper conductors.
The tape shall be 30 mils thick and comply with the
requirements of UL 510 for rubber insulating tape.
Installation
Temflex 2155 tape should be applied in half-lapped layers
until desired insulation build up is reached. Stretch the tape
to 3/4 of its original width during application for good
conformability and to obtain a moisture tight seal.
Temflex 2155 tape should be overwrapped for mechanical
protection with half-tapped layers of either 3M Vinyl
Electrical Tape or Temflex 1755 Cotton Friction Tape.
