3M 24 Scotch Electrical Shielding Tape (1″ X 15′)

Scotch® 24 Electrical Shielding Tape is an all-metal, open-weave, shielding braid tape in a flat, cable-like form. It is conformable due to the open-weave knit construction of two No. 36 AWG tinned copper wires.

Features:

• Tinned copper conductors
• Stable at elevated temperatures
• Oil Resistant
• Compatible with power cable insulations
• Fire resistant
• Elongates easily to conform to inclined or uneven surfaces.
• Corrosion resistant
• Compatible with all high-voltage splicing and termination materials
• Unaffected by solvents, U.V., ozone, and moisture
• Because of its construction, the tape interlocks with the previous layer, thereby assuring a tighter wrap (no solder bead is required)
• The porosity of Scotch 24 Tape will permit complete resin saturation when splicing
• Usable for indoor and outdoor applications
• Size:1″ X 15′

Applications

• To provide shielding for cable joints on shielded power cables
• To make the conductive portion of the stress cone on power cable terminations
• To smooth connector area in oil-filled cables
