Specification

The tape must be rubber based and capable of operating at

temperatures up to 80°C.

The tape must not split or crack when exposed to normal

operating temperatures. The tape must be compatible with

synthetic cable and wire insulations. The tape shall not be

corrosive to aluminum, or copper conductors.

The tape shall be 30 mils thick and comply with the

requirements of UL 510 for rubber insulating tape.

Installation

Temflex 2155 tape should be applied in half-lapped layers

until desired insulation build up is reached. Stretch the tape

to 3/4 of its original width during application for good

conformability and to obtain a moisture tight seal.

Temflex 2155 tape should be overwrapped for mechanical

protection with half-tapped layers of either 3M Vinyl

Electrical Tape or Temflex 1755 Cotton Friction Tape.

Shelf Life

Temflex 2155 has a three-year shelf life (from date of

manufacture) when stored under the following recommended

storage conditions. Store behind present stock in a clean, dry

place at a temperature of 70°F (21°C) and 40-50% relative

humidity. Good stock rotation is recommended.
