T&B Self-Fusing Insulation Tapeis a:• Modified silicone rubber compound• Self amalgamating / bonding
material. It only adheres to itself• No adhesives or heat required for
permanent bond• Bond is immediate even if wet• High dielectric value• Insulation for high and low voltage
connections• High and low temperature stability
(-90ºC to 260ºC) (-130ºF to 500ºF)• Radiation resistant• Arc track resistant• UV and ozone resistant• Steam / moisture resistant• Will not contaminate fresh water and
it is salt water resistant
T&B Self-Fusing Insulation TapeApplications• Insulating and moisture proof sealing
system for wire and cable terminations, splicing and electricalconnections
• Repair overwrap for deteriorated insulation of cables and conductors
• Insulating and sealing material for underwater, underground and above ground bonding installations
• General purpose insulating protection applications for harnessing, bundling, cabling, and wiring in aircraft, automotive, marine and other industrial machinery and equipment
• Can also be used for all kinds of household repairs like pool filters, hoses, plumbing, car repairs, etc.

Characteristics• Insulation putty• Same characteristics as Self-Fusing Insulation Tape• Tape bonds to putty• Economically enhances Self-Fusing Insulation Tape
applications• Saves on tape when used on terminal splicing• Saves tape, saves time, saves money!
If Fill is Required• Fill in and around all irregular surfaces
using T&B Smooth compound in order tocover sharp surfaces (i.e. bolts, screws, nuts, terminal lug, butt splice, electrical connector, etc. and also to create a smooth evenly tapered surface, prior to application.

Minimum requirements of any insulatingconfigurations are as follow:• Two (2) layers of half-lapped tape should be
applied over any surface onto which the tape is wrapped (i.e. bare connection, or cable/wire insulation or jacket).
• Tape must be overlapped onto the cable/wire insulation/jacket a minimum distance of 1.5” when an environmental seal is required.
• First layer of tape should be applied with maximumstretch (<75% of original width). Second layer should be applied with minimal/zero stretch.
