Overview
The Plymouth 2104 is a 17 Plyshield EPR shielding tape engineered for high-voltage cable splice and termination shielding. This ethylene propylene rubber based, self-amalgamating and conducting tape has an unsupported construction ideal for use on power cable where accommodation of expansion and contraction due to load cycling is important. The tape measures 3/4″ wide × 15′ long with a 30 mil thickness.
Key Features
- Ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) based, self-amalgamating and conducting material
