In general, rubber based adhesives are not UV or oxidation resistant which is why they tend to be used predominantly in interior applications. Having said that, antioxidants and UV stabilizer packages can be added to the formulation to help mitigate these weaknesses. Some synthetic elastomers exhibit vastly improved UV stability over natural rubbers. Chemical resistance can also be problematic as is resistance to elevated service temperatures (typically 180- 200°F at the top end). The great strength of rubber-based adhesives is their wide formulation latitude. These adhesives can be compounded to be removable, repositionable, or extremely permanent. High strength foam bonding tapes can be made from rubber based adhesives or easily removable masking products can also be offered. Rubber based adhesive adhere to many surfaces including low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene. And to top it all off, rubber based adhesives are economical. They get the job done at a very fair price! Adhesive tapes made from rubber based adhesives have come a long way since Dr. Day’s first surgical tape and they still offer a cost-effective way to bond, seal, and protect.
Butyl rubber, a synthetic rubber derived from isobutylene and isoprene, is known for its excellent impermeability to gases and moisture. This unique property makes it an ideal choice for various applications across multiple industries. Butyl rubber rolls, specifically, are widely utilized due to their versatility and high performance.
As a full line electrical distributor, we offer a number of tapes from various suppliers. But our hands-down favorite for motor connections is 3M. 3M makes a quality product and offers extensive training support resources, many of which we incorporate in our programs. We prefer the tried and true standard of a cambric base layer, followed by a rubber tape, with a final application of a vinyl tape for protection. There are other newer options to choose from, but we found this to be reliable, and simple, for both low and medium voltage applications.
The primary purpose of a wiring loom wrap is to bundle and secure the many wires that run throughout a vehicle in a neat and organized manner. This not only makes it easier for technicians to access and repair the wiring, but also helps to prevent the wires from rubbing against each other or other components, which can cause wear and damage over time.
