Rubber Splicing Tape for High-Voltage Joints
Scotch 130C tape is a 30.00 mil thick rubber splicing tape supplied as a continuous 2 inch by 30 foot roll. It is designed for electricians and maintenance crews who need to insulate and splice cables rated up to 69000 volts. The black finish matches standard cable jackets for a uniform appearance.
Performance Limits at 69000 Volts and 265 Degrees F
The tape carries a maximum voltage rating of 69000 and a maximum performance temperature of 265 degrees F. Tensile strength is rated at 250 lb. per inch, providing mechanical hold on heavy conductors. It meets ASTM D4325, D4388 and C518 standards. The product has no UV resistance, so it is not suitable for exposed outdoor runs without additional protection.
Self-Fusing Application With No Adhesive Residue
Installation relies on stretching the rubber backing until it fuses to itself, creating a void-free insulation layer without separate adhesive. The tape must be wrapped under tension; insufficient stretch leaves gaps that can track under high voltage. Over-stretching reduces thickness below the rated 30.00 mil. Clean conductor surfaces before wrapping to avoid contamination that weakens the bond.

Questions about this item
How do I decide between the 30.00 mil thickness and other tape options for my splice?
The 30.00 mil thickness provides heavy-duty insulation and meets ASTM D4325 and D4388 standards for high-voltage splicing up to 69000 volts.
What does the 69000 volt rating mean when I use this tape on a live circuit?
It indicates the maximum voltage the tape can insulate when applied correctly, with a tensile strength of 250 lb./in. and a max performance temperature of 265 degrees F.
Which standards apply to the rubber backing and how do they limit real-world use?
The tape meets ASTM D4325, D4388, and C518, confirming its rubber backing performance for splicing up to 69000 volts at 265 degrees F.
