Polyken 827 Red Splicing Tape

Polyken 827 is a red polyethylene splicing tape supplied on a 48 mm by 55 m roll. It uses a rubber adhesive on a polyethylene film backing rated at 8 mil thickness. The tape is designed for splicing and packaging tasks where a moisture-resistant seal is required. It suits warehouse staff and shippers needing a high-visibility closure.

Operating temperature range 40 to 200 degrees F

The tape performs between 40 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Outside this window the rubber adhesive can lose tack or the polyethylene backing may become brittle. It is not intended for continuous exposure above the maximum or for cryogenic environments. Users should verify that the application stays within these limits before relying on the bond.

Hand application on clean dry surfaces

Apply the tape by hand to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion; dust, oil or moisture will reduce bond strength. The 8 mil backing tears cleanly without a dispenser but can stretch if pulled too aggressively. Overlapping seams evenly prevents gaps that let moisture penetrate the splice.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 48 mm by 55 m roll or the 1 7/8 in by 60 yd roll for my splicing job?

Both measurements describe the same Polyken 827 roll; 48 mm equals 1 7/8 in and 55 m equals 60 yd, so pick whichever unit you prefer.

What does the 8 mil thickness mean when the tape is applied to a cable splice?

The 8 mil polyethylene film gives a thin, conformable layer that wraps tightly around irregular cable profiles while the rubber adhesive bonds quickly at room temperature.

How does the rubber adhesive perform across the 40 to 200 °F range in practice?

The rubber system stays tacky down to 40 °F for cold-weather splicing and resists softening up to 200 °F, maintaining seal integrity through typical environmental swings.
