Silicone Tapes
MIL-I-22444 Silicone Rubber Self Fusing Supported Reinforced Electrical Tape
365°F / 180°C Continuous Exposure: Higher Intermittent
FlameShieldä silicone rubber self-fusing compression tapes meeting various OEM manufacturer's and MIL-I-22444 specifications are used for a variety of critical electrical wiring, cable splicing and protection tasks. Especially suited for aviation and marine environments, as well as outdoor weathering environments.
The tape has no adhesive, but adheres to itself (self-fuses or self-amalgamating) when stretched and wrapped onto itself. The tapes starts curing within minutes, and after several hours cannot be unwound or removed without using a sharp knife or blade. This tape makes a waterproof, weatherproof and air tight protection.
This tape is available in oxide-red and black colors - other colors are available as a custom run. The tape has a rectangular profile and a fiberglass reinforcement layer.
FlameShieldä tapes meeting Mil-I-22444 specifications provide superior electrical insulation with a minimum of 300 volts per mil (.001") of tape thickness at 365°F / 180°C. A 20mil tape therefore provides 6000 volts per wrap of insulation value. This tape is also used to wrap hydraulic connections and to make vibration resistant bumpers and spacers for wiring, cable, hose, pipes and lines. This tape is used to wrap and hold insulation in place on hot air ducts. Also used as a bushing for backshell clamp protection of wires.
All tapes meets 14 CFR 25.853(a) at amendment 25-116; Appendix F, Part I(a)(1)(i) (60 Second Vertical Flammability Test).
Manufacturer's Certificate of Conformity and Test Result Documents are available.
