We are pleased to stock a number of different self-fusing tapes. All are electrically insulating though some are often used for sealing work (e.g. fixing a leaking hose) in addition to electrical applications. 

This article delves into the essence of control boxes, exploring their design, functionality, and the critical role they play across various industries. Prepare to uncover the intricacies of these pivotal devices and learn how to select the perfect control box to meet your specific requirements.

3. Durability and Longevity Fireproof gasket tape is engineered to stand the test of time. It is resistant to degradation caused by UV light, moisture, and extreme temperatures, ensuring a long-lasting seal that minimizes the need for frequent replacements. This durability is particularly beneficial in harsh industrial environments, where traditional tapes may fail prematurely.

THE BENEFITS OF 3M RUBBER ELECTRICAL TAPES

In general, rubber based adhesives are not UV or oxidation resistant which is why they tend to be used predominantly in interior applications. Having said that, antioxidants and UV stabilizer packages can be added to the formulation to help mitigate these weaknesses. Some synthetic elastomers exhibit vastly improved UV stability over natural rubbers. Chemical resistance can also be problematic as is resistance to elevated service temperatures (typically 180- 200°F at the top end). The great strength of rubber-based adhesives is their wide formulation latitude.  These adhesives can be compounded to be removable, repositionable, or extremely permanent. High strength foam bonding tapes can be made from rubber based adhesives or easily removable masking products can also be offered. Rubber based adhesive adhere to many surfaces including low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene. And to top it all off, rubber based adhesives are economical. They get the job done at a very fair price! Adhesive tapes made from rubber based adhesives have come a long way since Dr. Day’s first surgical tape and they still offer a cost-effective way to bond, seal, and protect.
