Wire loom tape?

[GeneralDisorder]

I found a roll in the garage. NSN # 5970-00-177-1627. Insulation tape, electrical. There is a post on that expensive auction site, asking $20 a roll, but he has pictures up. I have a bunch if people have interest and can do a classified if anyone is interested. Prob 1/4 of that plus shipping. I may have 40-50 rolls of this stuff

I'm down to check it out. Sounds like interesting stuff. let me know how to get a couple rolls.

Did you look at the auction site listing that starts with an e and ends with a y? that is exactly what I have. Sounds like I will need to make a want ad for this stuff.

I just used the Tesa tape for the last 2 days….. super happy with it so far. I bought 10 roles at $5 each to get the same day shipping. This will last a long time. Longer than I thought as this stuff is really tough so I don’t need as much.

I believe that is MIL-I-46852 self fusing tape. We have that at work and I do not like working with it... Link to the river https://www.amazon.com/MIL-I-46852-Mil-Spec-Silicone-Rubber-Electrical/dp/B099KWCSZZ

So what types of applications is this stuff used for? Is it wrapped around wires like a loom?

It works for fixing pinhole leaks in pipes if you can fit a hose clamp over it.

wow....I can see now how it has some uses in the automotive side, especially where wire passes through clamps or metal holes (like a firewall). I guess I will need to put some of this up for sale as I have more than a lifetimes supply.

It's good stuff and has lots of uses. Silicone tapes are actually very poor against abrasion resistance but they resist oil and sunlight very well. There are other, tougher self fusing tapes such as Scotch 23 which are EPDM based but turn to goo with the slightest exposure to oil.

If I were taping up splices in enclosures I would pick the Scotch 23. A layer or Scotch 88 protects the 23 from oil exposure in generator enclosures. Scotch 2520 under the rubber tape prevents punctures from sharp edges.
