Tapes

Arlon and MOX-Tape®silicone tapes are produced from specially formulated silicone rubber. They bond irreversibly to provide an insulative barrier that is resistant to moisture,oxygen, ozone and corona over a wide temperature range (-65°F up to +500°F). Arlon/Mox products provide superior electrical insulation with a dielectric strength of 300 VPM minimum at 356°F/180°C.

Arlon MOX-Tape® Fiberglass Reinforced Tape

These self-fusing silicone rubber tapes incorporate a sinusoidal fiberglass fabric that gives a controlled elongation and increased tear resistance. The 30 series (formerly SA series) has a minimum elongation before fracture of 25% and the 40 series (formerly SB series) has a minimum elongation before fracture of 15%. This reinforcement provides excellent mechanical characteristics while allowing the tape to conform to irregular shapes.

Performance Advantages

• Resists moisture, oxygen, and ozone to assure continuous high insulation values.

• Conforms smoothly when wrapped around complex forms.

• Bonds to itself at room temperature within 24 hours.

• Remains non-tacky to the touch and does not adhere to other surfaces, or substrates.

• Insulates with single wrap, thereby reducing labor time and cost.

• Dampens vibration and resists heat and mechanical shock as well as corona.

• Inherently flame retardant and when burned forms a non-conductive ash. Meets the horizontal burn test criteria prescribed in FAR 25.853.

• 30 (SA) & 40 (SB) series MOX-Tapes® provide a uniform thickness even around sharp edges. Fiberglass fabric, encapsulated inside the silicone rubber, prevents wicking and maintains high insulation resistance under high humidity conditions. These controlled stretch tapes provide a uniform insulation barrier.

• All tapes are protected by a special interleaved liner.
