Professional Features & Benefits

High Performance Insulation

  • Primary Insulation Rating up to 69kV - Provides reliable high voltage insulation protection for utility and industrial electrical applications
  • High Thermal Conductivity - Allows heat to dissipate effectively from electrical joints preventing overheating and extending service life
  • Linerless Ethylene Rubber Construction - Eliminates backing removal step for faster installation and superior conformability to irregular surfaces
  • Excellent Conformability - Adapts perfectly to complex shapes and contours ensuring complete coverage and reliable insulation integrity

Environmental Protection & Durability

  • Moisture Resistant Properties - Prevents water ingress that could compromise electrical insulation and cause system failures
  • Corrosion and Chemical Resistant - Withstands exposure to industrial chemicals and environmental contaminants for long-term reliability
  • Temperature Performance - Maintains insulation properties across wide temperature ranges for outdoor and industrial applications

Technical Specifications

Width: 2 inches for efficient coverage of larger conductors and joints. Primary insulation rating: up to 69kV for high voltage electrical applications. Material: Linerless ethylene rubber construction. Overload temperature rating: 266°F. Elongation: 8.9% for flexibility during installation. High thermal conductivity design allows effective heat dissipation from electrical connections.

Installation & Setup

  1. Clean and prepare conductor surfaces ensuring removal of dirt, moisture, and oxidation for optimal tape adhesion
  2. Begin wrapping at the conductor end with 50% overlap ensuring complete coverage without air gaps or voids
  3. Apply consistent tension while wrapping to achieve proper compression and eliminate air pockets that could compromise insulation
  4. Extend tape coverage beyond the joint area to ensure complete electrical isolation and environmental protection
  5. Press tape firmly during application to activate adhesive properties and ensure permanent bond to conductor surfaces
  6. Verify complete coverage with no exposed conductor areas that could create electrical hazards or insulation failures

Professional Applications

Ideal for:

  • High Voltage Electrical Systems - Primary insulation for utility transmission lines, substations, and industrial high voltage equipment up to 69kV
  • Underground Cable Splicing - Moisture-resistant insulation for buried cable joints and terminations in utility and industrial applications
  • Industrial Electrical Maintenance - Insulation repair and protection for motors, transformers, and high voltage industrial equipment
  • Utility Line Work - Primary insulation for overhead line splices, dead-end connections, and equipment terminations
  • Substation Applications - Insulation protection for bus work, equipment connections, and high voltage terminations

Ideal Industries 46-130C-2X30 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is rubber splicing tape the same as vinyl electrical tape, and can I use vinyl instead?
No. Vinyl tape is a jacketing and color-coding tape; it is not primary insulation at high voltage. The Ideal 46-130C is a linerless ethylene rubber splicing tape rated for primary insulation up to 69kV, and it builds insulation by fusing layer to layer under tension. On a medium or high voltage splice you wrap the rubber tape as the insulating body, then overwrap with vinyl for mechanical and UV protection. Swapping the rubber out for vinyl leaves the joint without an insulation body.
2) Will this tape stretch enough to conform around an irregular splice or a connector shoulder?
Elongation is 890 percent, so the tape stretches to many times its relaxed length and pulls down tight over connector shoulders, cable steps, and odd-shaped terminations without wrinkling or leaving voids. Being linerless, there is no backing to peel as you go, which matters when you are working one-handed on a bucket or in a manhole.
3) How hot can this rubber splicing tape get before it fails?
266 degrees F is the overload temperature rating on the Ideal linerless rubber tape. That is the short-term emergency-overload condition a conductor can reach, not a continuous operating target. The tape is also built for high thermal conductivity so heat generated at the joint moves out through the wrap instead of building a hot spot under it.
4) How do I wrap high voltage splicing tape correctly so the joint doesn't fail?
Clean the conductor first, getting off dirt, moisture, and oxidation. Start at the conductor end and wrap with 50 percent overlap, keeping steady tension so each layer compresses into the one below and no air is trapped. Carry the wrap past the joint on both ends so the insulation extends beyond the connector, press the tape down firmly as you go, and check that no conductor is left exposed. Voids and loose tension are what cause corona and early failure on a rubber tape splice.
5) Can this tape be used on an underground or buried cable splice?
Yes. The linerless rubber tape is moisture resistant and resists corrosion and industrial chemicals, so it is used on buried cable joints and terminations as well as overhead line splices. For a direct-buried joint, wrap with full tension and 50 percent overlap and run the insulation well past the connector so water has no path to the conductor.
6) Do I need anything else besides the rubber tape to finish a high voltage splice?
Plan on a protective overwrap. The Ideal 46-130C rubber tape is the primary insulation layer, up to 69kV, and it has no liner or jacket of its own. Standard practice is to finish the build with a vinyl or friction tape overwrap for abrasion and sunlight protection, plus a conductor cleaner and the appropriate connector for the joint. Buy the overwrap on the same order so the crew is not improvising in the field.
7) What is the Ideal part number for the 2 inch linerless rubber tape?
Order it as Ideal Industries 46-130C-2X30. That is the 2 inch wide linerless ethylene rubber splicing tape rated to 69kV.
