FlameShieldä silicone rubber self-fusing self-amalgamating compression tapes meet many MIL and commercial specifications and are used for a variety of critical electrical wiring and cable splicing and protection jobs. Especially suited for aviation and marine environments, as well as outdoor weathering environments.
The tape has no adhesive, but sticks to itself (self-fuses or self amalgamating) when stretched and wrapped onto itself. The tapes starts curing within minutes, and after several hours cannot be unwound or removed without using a sharp knife or blade. This tape makes a waterproof, weatherproof and air tight protection.
NATO NSN tapes meet MIL-I-46852 / A-A-59163 or MIL-I-22444 specifications. Type I tapes are rectangular unsupported. Type II tapes are triangular profile unsupported with a guideline stripe. Supported tapes have a sinusoidal weave glass substrate. These tapes may be either red or black. The guideline stripe in the center of Type II tapes aids in achieving a 50% spiral wrap and provides a smooth surface on spiral wrapping, preventing the tape wrap area from snagging when pulling a wire or cable through a bundle or over objects or openings.
This tape is also used to wrap hydraulic connections and to make vibration resistant bumpers and spacers for wiring, cable, hose, pipes and lines. This tape is used to wrap and hold insulation in place on hot air ducts. Makes an in-situ bushing for protecting wiring at the backshell clamp.
These tapes are not interchangeable. The NSN number specifies parameters of the tape such as thickness, profile, width, reinforcement, rubber composition, etc.
