The Shurtape LR 117 Linerless Rubber Electrical Tape is a high-performance, all-weather electrical tape designed for insulating splices and terminations in wires and cables up to 69,000 volts. This 30 mil thick tape is linerless, self-bonding, and highly conformable, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of high-voltage electrical applications. Its ability to stretch and form void-free moisture seals ensures reliable protection, while its resistance to UV, moisture, corrosion, chemicals, corona, and ozone makes it suitable for use in harsh environments.
- 30 Mil Linerless, Self-Bonding EPR Tape: The LR 117 tape is constructed from Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), a material known for its excellent insulating properties. The linerless design allows for easy application, while the self-bonding nature of the tape ensures a secure, tight seal without the need for additional adhesives.
- Highly Conformable: This tape is highly conformable, meaning it easily adapts to the shape of the surface it is applied to, making it perfect for wrapping around wires and cables with irregular shapes or contours. This ensures complete coverage and insulation, even in difficult-to-reach areas.
- High Elongation (Stretch): The LR 117 tape offers significant elongation capabilities, allowing it to stretch during application without affecting its physical and chemical properties. This high stretchability is crucial for creating tight, void-free moisture seals, which are essential for maintaining the integrity of high-voltage splices.
- Resistant to Moisture, Corrosion, Chemicals, Corona, and Ozone: The tape's resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, corrosion, chemicals, corona, and ozone makes it a reliable choice for outdoor and industrial applications. These properties ensure long-lasting performance and protection in even the harshest conditions.
- Emergency Overload Capacity of 130°C: The LR 117 tape is rated to handle an emergency overload capacity of up to 130°C, providing an additional layer of safety and reliability during unexpected electrical surges or overload conditions.
Recommended Uses: The Shurtape LR 117 Linerless Rubber Electrical Tape is ideal for insulating splices and terminations in high-voltage wires and cables, particularly in applications up to 69,000 volts. It is suitable for use with all extruded dielectric cable insulations and can be used in a variety of environments, including outdoor, industrial, and utility settings. Its high elongation, moisture sealing, and resistance to harsh environmental factors make it a preferred choice for creating reliable, long-lasting electrical connections in challenging conditions.
Usage and Maintenance: To use the LR 117 tape, ensure that the surface is clean and dry before application. Stretch the tape as needed while wrapping it around the wire or cable, ensuring that each layer overlaps the previous one to create a secure, void-free seal. The tape’s self-bonding properties will ensure it adheres tightly without the need for additional adhesive. Store the tape in a cool, dry place to maintain its insulating and adhesive properties, ensuring it is ready for use when needed. Its high conformability and resistance to environmental factors make it a reliable and durable solution for high-voltage electrical insulation.
