3M Scotch 130C Tape – Linerless Rubber (EPR) Self Amalgamating Tapes

Scotch 130C

3M Scotch 130C Tape is a highly conformable 0.762mm thick, high voltage jointing and an EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) based self amalgamating tape.

Scotch 130C Tape can be used as an insulation for low voltage applications as well as insulation for cable joints up to 69kV.

The 3M tape meets industry specifications and has excellent physical and electrical properties that provide immediate moisture seals and void-free build-ups.

The tape is designed for use in splicing and terminating wires and cables and forms part of the 3M Scotch Electrical Tapes.

Specification – 3M Scotch 130C Self Amalgamating Tape

Scotch 130C tape, manufactured by 3M Electrical, is based on ethylene propylene rubber and be capable of operation at the emergency cable temperature of 130°C (266°F). The 3M Scotch tape must be capable of being applied in either the stretched or un-stretched condition without any resulting loss in either physical or electrical properties. The Scotch tape must not split, crack, slip or flag when exposed to various environments (indoor and outdoor). The tape must be compatible with all synthetic cable insulations. The tape must have a dissipation factor of less than 5% at 130°C (266°F) and must have a shelf life of 5 years.

Installation techniques

Scotch 130C Electrical Tape should be applied in successive half lapped, level-wound layers until desired build-up is reached
To eliminate voids in critical areas, highly elongate 130C Tape
Stretch Tape in these critical areas just short of its breaking point – doing so will not alter its physical or electrical properties
In less critical areas, less elongation may be used – normally, 3M Scotch 130C Tape is stretched to ¾ of its original width in these less critical areas
Always attempt to half-lap to produce a uniform build-up
When using 130C Tape for jointing cables from 35kV to 69kV, always elongate the tape throughout the entire joint
