  • Product Description

    Systems Protection offers a range of silicone elastomer tapes, which self-amalgamate at ambient temperature.

    Silicone tapes are used for bundling, sealing or finishing sleeve ends. They can be used for protecting sharp edges of rings or metallic parts on a wire harness as well. They withstand to high temperatures.

    The surface of this tape sticks together if a light pressure is exerted. After several hours at ambient temperature the individual layers fuse.

    Tapes conform very well to the assembly geometry and dampen vibrations.Traditional rectangular section (REC) dedicated to end finishing is completed by a triangular version (TRI) to ensure straight bundling all along protected lengths.

    Tape 34 REC and 37 REC can be offered perforated to your specific length to save installation time and avoid scissors use.
