Scapa 2547 EPR Self-Amalgamating Tape DESCRIPTION Scapa 2547 is an insulating, self-amalgamating tape based on EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber). Its colour is black. A PPLICATIONS For jointing and repairing power cables up to 69 kV. For insulation, waterproofing and protection of electrical connections (e.g. satellite dish). For binding and sealing for the continuity of the lead sheath. PRODUCT BENEFITS 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. Excellent resistance to water, UV and ozone. The tape will remove cleanly when cut, allowing it to be used as temporary insulation or protection. The product is approved to EDF HN 26-S-04. Meets specification UTE C 33-011. o Service temperature -40 to +100C. Overload temperature 120 C. Supplied in an easy to handle and apply tape form.
