This is a 1.5" wide tape. Part number FlameGuard™ ABST-24. ONE ROLL.
This tape is similar to the picture above (The picture is of the FlameGuard™ ABST-16; 1" wide tape).
FlameGuard™ Pure Silicone Tape is a self-extinguishing non-flammable tape without an adhesive. Forms an excellent seal that is weather/water/air-tight when wrapped around electrical connections and connectors, cable and wiring splices, hydraulic hose protection sleeves, duct joints and other electro-mechanical devices. The special silicone formulation of this tape self-fuses (self-amalgamating) when stretched and over-wrapped. Completely flexible at cold temperatures and can be used to +510ºF / +266ºC continuous exposure. Does not support combustion and resists heat, flame, welding splatter, molten metals, solder drips, slag, sparks, Ozone, UV light and contamination. Can be wrapped over oily or wet surfaces and is an excellent emergency repair tape for hoses and pipes. Used extensively in aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul operations.
FlameGuard™ Pure Silicone Tape when over-wrapped under tension adheres to itself and fuses, forming a solid protective shield in 24 hours at room temperature or in just 4 hours at +356ºF / +180ºC. The tape starts to self-fuse / self-bond as it is used, and can be re-seated if necessary within a few seconds of over-wrapping. After a few minutes it is usually necessary to remove the tape with a knife.
FlameGuard™ Pure Silicone Tape resists fuels, oils, acids, solvents, UV, Ozone, high-heat, flame exposure, molten metal splashes, slag, solder drips & sparks. The proprietary silicone formulation provides optimal thermal dispersion (high thermal conductivity) and also gives this tape its iron-oxide red colour. Does not contain flammable dyes. Users should be cautious of non FlameGuard™ tapes sold in a variety of colors as they may contain flammable dyes and may not be able to provide the same thermal dispersion property.
FlameGuard™ Pure Silicone Tape incorporates a blue marking stripe along its center, making it easy to over-wrap at 50% when taping long lengths. The triangular profile of the tape (thickest in the centre and reducing thickness towards each edge) ensures a smooth finish to the installation with minimum ridging. Easy to remove with a sharp blade while curing or when completely cured and does not leave a gummy or sticky residue the way pressure sensitive adhesive tapes such as standard vinyl electrical tapes or duct tapes do
Lift off the end of the tape from its backing film and then hold the free end onto what the tape is being installed on. With your other hand which is holding the remainder of the tape roll, moderately pull or stretch the tape while over-lapping the wrap. The stretching action activates the special formulation of silicone rubber with the result of the tape self-binding / self-fusing to itself.
FlameGuard™ Pure Silicone Tape Meets many or all of the specifications of the following standards:
MIL-I-46852, MIL A-A-59163, ASTM D412, ASTM D 119, ASTM D150, ASTM D624, ASTM D2148, ASTM D2240.
This is a MIL-I-46852 Type II tape (Type I is a rectangular profile and Type II is triangular profile: Type II is a better tape for spiral wrapping (such as wrapping splices and connectors) as it results in a lower profile ridge). Roll is 1.5" wide and 36 feet long. Shelf life is 4 years from batch date when stored properly.
FlameGuard™ Pure Silicone Tape may also be certified to the following specifications upon request (fees apply):
MIL-I-46852C Type I & II, A-A-59163 Type I & II, MIL-I-22444C, Boeing DMS2186 Type I & II, Lockheed Martin MMS J517 & 5-00857, General Electric A50A493 / A50E112 / P5384, Rohr RMS315, FAR 25.853, UL/CSA
