Why Would You Use A Self-Fusing Tape Instead of a Adhesive Tape?
Composition and Properties
J50 High-voltage EPR Rubber Tape


Polyethylene film tape (63535) is a 7-mil thick tape coated on one side with a synthetic rubber adhesive. This particular tape is UV-resistant and can form a water-tight seal, making it a good tape for outdoor use. It is designed to be able to mask windows and doors in stucco fabrication and other construction applications. This tape is available in white or red. Available widths range from 2 inches (48 millimeters) to 44 inches (1,118 millimeters).




Electricians have critical jobs. Keeping our world powered requires concentration, knowledge and skill. Some of the most dangerous work is done by electricians working on medium and high voltage applications. Ethylene propylene and silicone rubber electrical tapes have the highest dielectric rating of electrical tapes made by 3M and are a trusted product in the toolbox of most medium and high voltage linemen and installers. With proper wrapping, their self-fusing properties help to eliminate voids in critical areas that may cause catastrophic failures .
