Silicone Tapes
General Electric Transportation Systems EMS2074 Silicone Rubber Self Fusing Tapes
Temperature Range: -54°C to +260°C / -65°F to +500°F
FlameShieldä rectangular profile tapes meeting GE General Electric Transportation Systems EMS2074 specification are used for a variety of critical electrical wiring and cable splicing and protection jobs.
EMS2074 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 specified to be oxide-red, but black is also available if preferred. This tape has a glass sinusoidal reinforcement to limit its elongation.
EMS2074 provides superior electrical insulation with a minimum of 300 volts per mil (.001") of tape thickness at 365°F / 180°C. A 20mil tape therefore provides 6000 volts per wrap of insulation value.
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.
This tape meets 14 CFR 25.853(a) at amendment 25-116; Appendix F, Part I(a)(1)(i) (60 Second Vertical Flammability Test).
