2228 Rubber Mastic Tape

Short Description:

2228 is a conformable self–fusing rubber electrical insulating and sealing tape. 2228 consists of an ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) backing coated with an aggressive, temperature–stable mastic adhesive. The tape is made 65 mils (1,65 mm) thick for quick application build–up. It is designed for electrical insulating and moisture sealing applications.
