RS PRO Black Self-Amalgamating Tape 25mm Width x 10m Length Polyisobutylene Backing 0.5mm Thickness 146-8998

RS PRO 146-8998 Black Self-Amalgamating Tape is a specialized polyisobutylene tape, 25mm in width and 10 meters in length with 0.5mm thickness, designed to provide superior electrical insulation and environmental protection. This tape is backed by a thin film that can be easily stripped away and offers excellent flexibility and strong elastic properties, making it suitable for wrapping and sealing applications in demanding industrial and aerospace settings.

The tape operates efficiently within a temperature range from -30°C to 100°C, maintaining performance under extreme conditions. Its high breakdown voltage rating of 8.5 kV provides excellent insulation for electrical and electronic components. The non-adhesive self-amalgamating design enables it to fuse to itself without leaving residue, creating a seamless waterproof and protective barrier.

Additional features include high tensile strength of 20 N/cm and elongation capability of up to 600%, ensuring robustness and conformability over time. This tape resists degradation caused by water, ozone, and ultraviolet light, making it ideal for outdoor and harsh environment applications.

Applications extend to aerospace cabling, electrical insulation, wire harnessing, and protective sealing where reliability and durability are critically required. Users should note that the tape requires warming if stored below minimum operating temperature before use, with up to 24 hours recommended for optimal handling.
