High-Voltage Splicing Tape
3M Scotch 130C is a linerless ethylene propylene rubber tape designed for splicing and terminating wires and cables. It operates continuously at up to 194F and handles short-term overloads to 266F. The self-fusing silicone adhesive bonds only to itself, leaving no sticky residue on surfaces. RoHS compliant construction suits professional electrical work.
Build Integration With Self-Fusing Layer
The tape requires half-lapped, level-wound application with the tacky side facing out to prevent roll drift during wrapping. High elongation in critical areas eliminates voids and creates immediate moisture seals. At 30 mils thick with 250 pounds per inch tensile strength, it builds insulation quickly without needing separate adhesive layers or liners. Thermal dissipation handles splice heat effectively.
For Electrical Professionals Not General Use
This product suits electricians and technicians making high-voltage splices or terminations where self-fusing rubber insulation is specified. It is not for buyers needing a standard adhesive-backed vinyl tape for colour coding, bundling or temporary repairs. The linerless design and specific wrapping technique require trained application for reliable performance.

Questions about this item
How thick is the 30 mil backing and adhesive layer when the tape is stretched during a splice?
The carrier and adhesive together measure 30 mils, so each half-lapped wrap adds that thickness regardless of stretch.
Will the silicone adhesive leave residue or degrade after continuous 194°F operation?
The self-fusing silicone bonds only to itself and remains stable up to the 194°F continuous rating with no sticky residue.
What tensile strength must the cable or bus bar already handle for the 250 lb per inch tape to hold?
The tape provides 250 pounds per inch longitudinal strength, so the underlying conductor must meet or exceed that load.
