Workshop Warehouse Self-Fusing Silicone Rubber Tape (VC415)

Description

Genuine Workshop Warehouse · Part no. VC415

Workshop Warehouse self-fusing silicone rubber tape, 25mm x 3m, has no adhesive at all: stretched up to 300% as you wrap, it fuses to itself into a solid, waterproof rubber sleeve. It takes heat up to +260°C, stays flexible down to -60°C, insulates to 8,000 volts per layer and has a tensile strength of 700 PSI.

Good to know

• How do I wrap it? Stretch it firmly as you wind, overlap each turn by half and finish with a few turns over the end; it bonds to itself within moments, not to the surface beneath.
• What is it good for on a car? Sealing wiring joints and connectors against water, wrapping a weeping coolant hose to get home, and insulating cables near hot parts where PVC tape would go sticky.
• Will it leave a mess when removed? No, with no adhesive it cuts off cleanly with a knife and leaves nothing on the wire or hose, which makes it handy for temporary fixes.

Which one?

For a longer, narrower roll, the Pearl Self Amalgamating Tape – Black – 19mm x 10m (PSAT01); for general wiring insulation, the Pearl PVC Insulation Tape – Black – 19mm x 33m – Pack Of 10 (PPT07).
