Product Details
Product information
PS197 is a general-purpose, highly conformable self-amalgamating tape based on PIB (Polyisobutylene) rubber. It is a non-vulcanising tape with excellent electrical properties and can be used for a multitude of applications including low voltage insulation as well as splicing and repair of cables up to 46,000 volts.
Its applications include:-
- Waterproofing and protecting cables and components on satellite dishes.
- General-purpose DIY temporary repairs.
- Protection of joints against seawater in marine environments.
- Corrosion protection of metal pipework.
- Insulation, waterproofing and protection of electrical components.
- General-purpose protection and waterproofing.
- Making watertight seals at polyethylene sleeve joints on polyethylene-sleeved telephone cables both above and below ground.
- Jointing and repairing a wide range of power and distribution cables up to 46 kV.
Features and Benefits
- Supplied in an easy to handle and apply tape form.
- The product is interleaved with a disposable plastic liner.
- Service temperature: -40°C to +90°C.
- The product can be removed cleanly from most substrates, making it suitable for temporary repairs.
