Data Sheet

September 2013

Description

Scotch

covering and protecting damaged sections of cable jacket, thereby extending the life of

the cable and reducing down time. The outer layer of the tape is composed of

vulcanized CSM rubber to provide outstanding chemical and environmental resistance.

The inner layer is composed of flame-retardant mastic and acts as a moisture barrier

which provides excellent adhesion to a variety of jacket materials.
