Scotch 3M 23 Self-Amalgamating Tape 10m Roll

The 3M Scotch 23 Self-Amalgamating Tape 10m Roll is a high-performance, rubber-based insulating tape designed for splicing and terminating high-voltage cables. Made from Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), it offers excellent electrical properties and superior thermal stability, making it ideal for use in harsh environments. This 19mm wide, 10-meter roll features a self-fusing design that bonds to itself without the need for heat or adhesive, forming a solid, moisture-resistant insulating layer. Resistant to UV, ozone, and a wide temperature range, Scotch 23 is perfect for primary insulation of cables up to 69kV, moisture sealing, and corrosion protection in both indoor and outdoor applications.
