Self fusing Tape
Radiform R20 is a self-fusing, butyl rubber tape, widely used for the electrical insulation, protection, sealing, splicing, and terminations up to 1kV. Provides a working termperature range of -40°C to +90°C. A polyethylene liner ensures the tape is protected and clean during application. 3M 31 is a tough abrasion-resistant backing for jacket repair on mining cables. Silicone tapes from Red2Go provide outstanding water and chemical protection to pipes, hoses, cable joints and cable terminations. The silicone wrap offers a wide temperature range of -65°C to +260°C and provides a high tensile strength of 700psi.

Low Voltage (1kV) Butyl Rubber Insulation and Submarine-Safe Seals
Terminating or splicing Low-voltage cables introduces severe engineering risks, as standard low-voltage vinyl electrical tapes lack the dielectric capacity to block high-voltage tracking or handle direct-burial moisture pressures. Our high-performance Radiform R20 Self-Fusing Butyl Rubber Tape completely overcomes these structural vulnerabilities by functioning as a heavy-duty, unyielding insulation barrier rated for high-capacity applications up to 1kV. Upon application, this specialised compound chemically cross-links and molecularly fuses completely to itself without relying on integrated chemical adhesives, curing into a seamless, homogenous rubber jacket that stops water ingress and atmospheric oxidation before it can start. To simplify high-volume fieldwork and ensure a clean fit, each premium roll is backed with a tough polyethylene liner that keeps the active rubber compound entirely free from workshop dust, grease, or dirt contamination during unrolling and stretching workflows, maintaining complete structural safety across a stable operating temperature range spanning from -40°C up to +90°C.
Mining-Grade Cable Jacket Repair
Achieving long-term mechanical safety and matching code compliance on busy industrial, resource extraction, or civil utility sites requires heavy-duty tapes engineered to absorb severe physical abuse and extreme temperature variations. When heavy trailing cables or underground distribution mains suffer from deep structural gashes, cuts, or abrasions, the legendary 3M Scotch 31 Heavy-Duty Mining Tape delivers maximum-capacity restoration. Built with a highly resilient, thick-walled, and abrasion-resistant backing, this specialised mining-grade tape functions as an exceptionally tough outer shield explicitly engineered for rugged cable jacket repair on heavy earthmoving machinery trailing leads, preventing localised electrical failures and saving thousands of dollars in cable replacement costs.
Extreme Temperature Silicone Wraps
For the most volatile fluid lines and engine bay configurations, our premium Silicone Wrap Tapes from Red2Go provide the ultimate multi-directional sealing defense. This high-tensile silicone sheathing behaves predictably under extreme tension, boasting an incredible tensile strength of 700 psi to instantly bind and plug pressurized pipe bursts, flexible hydraulic hoses, complex cable joints, and high-temperature electrical terminations. Manufactured completely free from adhesive substrates, this flexible self-fusing silicone wrap thrives across an expansive thermal spectrum ranging from a freezing -65°C all the way up to an intense +260°C, delivering outstanding water, chemical, oil, and ozone resistance on open-ocean marine vessels, commercial processing plants, and off-road 4WD wiring.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sets a self-fusing tape like Radiform R20 apart from standard PVC electrical tape?
Standard PVC electrical tape relies purely on a surface adhesive backing to stick, which can easily soften, lose grip, or unravel when subjected to constant moisture, mechanical vibration, or under-bonnet automotive oils. Self-fusing tapes contain no chemical glues; instead, when stretched and wrapped tightly over a substrate, they chemically amalgamate onto themselves to form a unified, continuous, and completely waterproof rubber block that will never peel or leak over time.
How does the polyethylene liner assist Radiform R20 during the low voltage wrapping process?
Because self-fusing butyl rubber tape is highly reactive and bonds instantly upon direct contact with itself, it must be stored with a protective separator film to prevent the roll from turning into a solid mass. The high-quality polyethylene liner acts as an impenetrable barrier that keeps the rubber perfectly clean in your tool bag, allowing you to easily maintain maximum tension and stretch the tape to half its original width during application before peeling the backing cleanly away.
Can 3M Scotch 31 tape be legally used for mid-span cable repairs on open-cut mining sites?
Yes, 3M Scotch 31 is specifically formulated and third-party certified as a heavy-duty, flame-retardant jacket repair tape tailored for the punishing physical conditions of commercial mining operations. Its exceptionally thick, abrasion-resistant backing mimics the mechanical properties of tough cable outer sheaths, successfully resisting intense dragging friction, sharp rock encounters, and industrial machine impacts.
What makes Red2Go silicone wrap ideal for emergency plumbing repairs on vessels?
Our professional-grade silicone wrap possesses an extreme tensile rating of 700 psi combined with an operational temperature limit of up to 260°C. When a marine hose, engine fluid line, or water pipe develops a high-pressure leak, wrapping this flexible tape tightly under tension causes it to fuse into a permanent mechanical clamp that seals out moisture and completely stops the leak, even when applied directly over wet, greasy, or contaminated surfaces.
