Applications
■ Electrical insulation for all wire and cable splices rated up to 600 volts and 80°C (176°F).
■ Harnessing of wires and cables Installation Techniques The tape shall be applied in half–lapped layers with sufficient tension to produce a uniform wind. Apply the tape with no tension on the last wrap to prevent flagging. Typical Properties Not for specifications. Values are typical, not to be considered minimum or maximum.
