AMALGAMATING TAPE J20
AMALGAMATING TAPE J20
Product overview
J20 Amalgamating Tape is a silicone-based, rubber-like tape designed to form a continuous, insulating, moisture-resistant, and protective layer when stretched and wrapped. It self-fuses (cold-welds) to itself without adhesive, creating a seamless protective jacket suitable for electrical splices, cable repairs, insulation, and corrosion protection.
Key features
Self-fusing: Bonds to itself to form a homogeneous, tack-free rubbery mass.
Electrical insulation: Provides reliable dielectric performance for insulating splices and terminations.
Moisture and corrosion resistance: Creates a water-tight seal preventing moisture ingress and corrosion on metal components.
High dielectric strength: Suitable for high-voltage applications (check specific ratings before use).
Temperature range: Performs across a broad temperature range; verify the product datasheet for exact limits.
Conformability: Highly stretchable and conformable to irregular shapes and connectors.
No adhesive residue: Leaves no sticky residue upon removal where separation is possible.
Easy to apply: Stretch-and-wrap application; no special tools required.
Typical applications
Insulating and protecting electrical splices and joints.
Overwrapping cable terminations and connectors.
Temporary emergency cable repair.
Corrosion protection for fittings, joints, and metal surfaces.
Sealing and waterproofing connections in outdoor and marine environments.
Bundling and strain relief for cables and harnesses.
Performance and specifications (typical)
Material: Silicone rubber-based self-fusing compound.
Dielectric strength: Refer to product datasheet for specific voltage ratings.
Elongation: High elongation for tight, conforming wraps.
Thickness and width: Available in multiple widths and thicknesses—confirm the size needed for your application.
Color: Commonly black; other colors may be available for specific 3M variants.
Safety and handling
Use appropriate personal protective equipment as required.
Not intended for continuous direct skin contact.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or contaminants for best bonding.
Follow all local electrical codes and standards when applying on live equipment; de-energize circuits whenever possible.
Ordering and availability
Available through electrical distributors and industrial supply channels. Check for part number J20 variants and confirm size, color, and packaging options. For bulk orders or custom needs, contact Univergo for sourcing and pricing assistance.
Note: Always consult J20 technical data sheets and safety data sheets for exact electrical ratings, temperature limits, chemical compatibility, and regulatory information before use.
