Scapa 2501 50mm x 10m - 18 Rolls/Box

Scapa 2501 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.

APPLICATIONS

• For waterproofing and protecting cables and components on satellite dishes.
• For general‐purpose DIY temporary repairs.
• For protection of joints against seawater in marine environments.
• For corrosion protection of metal pipework.
• For insulation, waterproofing and protection of electrical components.
• For general‐purpose protection and waterproofing.
• For making watertight seals at polyethylene sleeve joints on polyethylene‐sleeved telephone cables both above and below ground.
• For jointing and repairing a wide range of power and distribution cables up to 46 kV.

PRODUCT 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.
• Highly resistant to prolonged immersion in water and has excellent resistance to ozone.
• Compatible with other Scapa electrical tapes, including PVC tapes.
• Compatible with a wide range of rubber and plastic dielectric cable insulation. These include polyethylene, cross‐linked polyethylene, ethylene propylene rubber, PVC, butyl and neoprene.
