Versiwrap Silicone Tape for Electrical Use

Versiwrap Silicone Rubber Tape – IDEAL FOR ELECTRICAL USE

Rowe’s Versiwrap Silicone Rubber Tape is an improved wrapping tape extruded of high performance silicone rubber suitable wherever a tough, permanently resilient, void-free insulation is required.  On TGL tape (Triangular Guide Line), the colored guide line facilitates wrapping and cuts taping time. The triangular shape assures a smooth, uniform finished wrap over difficult shapes, such as coils, splices, bus bars and cable harnesses.  Rowe’s Silicone Rubber Tape is self-adhering and self-fusing, curing in 24 hours at room temperature.  Faster curing and a harder finish can be accomplished through the application of heat after wrapping.  Temperature range is -60°C t0 200°C for continuous use; -65°C to 260°C for intermittent use.  UL 510 recognized.

Uses

The strength and elasticity of Rowe’s Silicone Rubber Tape makes it ideal for automatic wrapping processes, such as for coils, where it protects the coils from the effects of vibration and shock and will not crack or separate with expansion or contraction stresses.  The low dielectric losses and high insulation resistance of Rowe’s Silicone Rubber Tape will not limit performance of a coil over a very wide temperature range.  The high thermal conductivity allows generated heat to dissipate rapidly resulting in a lower temperature rise and an increase of available power for a given load.  The use of Rowe’s Silicone Rubber Tape makes it possible to easily and quickly reclaim old motors by over-wrapping deteriorated insulation.  By the same process extra protection may be added to open frame motors or other equipment in difficult or contaminated locations.  May be used in many Class A and Class B applications.  High quality Class H insulation systems can be made using Rowe’s Silicone Rubber Tape in combination with SR-200 Silicone Rubber Tubing.

For optimum shelf life, silicone rubber tape should be stored in a cool, dry area.
