• R2517 is an insulating, self-amalgamating tape based on natural rubber.

• For jointing and repairing a wide range of solid dielectric power cables
up to 11kV.
• For insulation, waterproofing and protection of electrical components.

• Excellent physical and electrical properties with a high degree of stability
under conditions of use.
• The tape amalgamates rapidly when applied under tension to provide a
void-free homogeneous wrapping, without the need for external heat or
pressure.
• Compatible with a wide range of rubber and plastic dielectric cable
insulation. These include polyethylene, cross-linked polyethylene,
ethylene propylene rubber, PVC, butyl and neoprene.
• Excellent resistance to water and ozone.
• The tape will remove cleanly when cut, allowing it to be used as
temporary insulation or protection.
• Supplied in an easy to handle and apply tape form. The product is
interleaved with a disposable plastic liner.

• Care should be taken to avoid direct contact between the tape and petroleum-type solvents and oils. Oils may affect the electrical
properties of the tape.
• The rolls should be stored flat on their cut edges in the original packaging. The product must be protected from dust, heat, moisture,
direct sunlight and solvent fumes. Storage temperature between +10°C and +35°C. Under these conditions, the storage life of the
tape in a temperate climate will be at least two year.
