Silicone Tapes
ES7889 Systems and Electronics Equivalent Silicone Rubber Self Fusing Electrical Tape
Temperature Range: -54°C to +260°C / -65°F to +500°F
ES7889 rectangular (Type I) and triangular (Type II) profile silicone rubber self-fusing self-amalgamating electrical tapes meet MIL and commercial specifications 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.
This tape is available in almost any color, but oxide-red and black are the most common.
This tape meets 14 CFR 25.853(a) at amendment 25-116; Appendix F, Part I(a)(1)(i) (60 Second Vertical Flammability Test).
