These halogen-containing elastomeric tapes\nare formulated to generate a thick, insulating charred buildup when exposed to\nhigh temperatures. The insulating charred buildup protects wrapped cables and\ncable accessories from the fault arc-generated heat and flames of cable\nfailures within approximately 20 inches until limiting devices can interrupt\nthe faulted circuit.The tape’s thin cross section reduces the overall weight\ncompared to other methods while providing arc protection. The white gray color\nof Scotch Tape 77 White allows for easy identification of burned areas. One\nhalf-lap wrap provides adequate protection for most installations. However,\nadditional wraps can be applied, if conditions warrant, without requiring a\nreduction in conductor loads.Wrap Scotch Tape 77 in half-lapped layers. The\ntape should be stretched slightly to obtain a snug, wrinkle-free wrap which\nconforms to the cable. Overlap the last 6 inches of protected cable when\nstarting a new roll of tape.Since the Scotch Tape 77 Series is not adhesive\ncoated, it must be held in place after wrapping with bands of Scotch Glass\nCloth Electrical Tape 69. One of the most effective and economical ways to\nhold either of these tapes in place is by banding (2 complete wraps) the first\nand last applied wrap.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eINTUMESCENT ELASTOMER BACKING: Flexible unsupported elastomer makes it easy to apply and remove for cable inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eIDEAL FOR OVER-EXPOSED ELECTRICAL CABLES: To arc proof high-energy power cables exposed to nearby arc-fault high-energy cables (within 20 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eCONFORMS EASILY WITH MINIMAL EFFORT: 30 mls thickness offers virtually wrinkle-free wrapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eREUSABLE: Can be removed and reused\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eWHITE COLOR: White color makes for quick and easy identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eCOMPLIANCE: RoHS Compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSTABILITY: 5-year shelf life (from date of manufacture)\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eFor industrial\/occupational use only.
