Scotch Rubber Splicing Tape 23, 2 in x 30 ft, Black, 1 roll/carton

Scotch Rubber Splicing Tape 23, 2 in x 30 ft, Black – Electrical Insulation Tape Scotch Rubber Splicing Tape 23 by 3M is a premium-grade, self-fusing ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) tape designed for primary insulation in cable splice and termination applications. Suitable for solid dielectric cable insulation, this tape is widely used by electrical distributors and switchgear suppliers for reliable electrical insulation and splicing up to 69 kV. It is halogen-free and temperature rated for continuous operation at 194°F (90°C) with an emergency overload rating up to 266°F (130°C). The tape features a removable polyethylene liner and is applied in half-lapped layers to create a uniform winding, making it ideal for wire and cable insulation in lighting solutions and electrical distribution systems.
