Rohr Goodrich Aerostructures RMS315 RMS-315 Silicone Rubber Self Fusing Electrical Tape
Temperature Range: -54°C to +260°C / -65°F to +500°F
FlameShieldä aRohr Goodrich Aerostructures RMS315 / RMS-315 silicone rubber self-fusing tape meets MIL and commercial specification for use in avionics wiring. Popular for protecting wiring at the backshell clamp.
The RMS315 / RMS-315 tape has no adhesive, but sticks to itself (self-fuses or self amalgamating) when stretched and wrapped onto itself. The tape 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. 249-00114 tape is used to protect wiring at the backsheel clamp by forming a custom sized isolation bushing.
The standard RMS315 / RMS-315 tape is oxide-red in color, but black is also available. Other colors available.
FlameShieldä tape provides 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.
RMS315 / RMS-315 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. Makes an in-situ bushing for protecting wiring at the backshell clamp.
This tape meets 14 CFR 25.853(a) at amendment 25-116; Appendix F, Part I(a)(1)(i) (60 Second Vertical Flammability Test).
