(Pib) Polyisobutylene rubber-based self-amalgamating tape. Suitable to joint and repair a wide range of system and power cables ( up to 46 kv). Post and telephone companies use it together with the PVC bands to seal polyethylene coupling sleeves of both overhead and underground telephone cables. It can also be used on metal pipes as a corrosion proofing protection.
Remove the separation stripe and stretch the tape until its width is reduced to 2/3 or 1/2. Keep stretching the tape lightly and wind it up overlapping 50% two following turns, until you obtain the requested thickness. The high stretch degree prevents from air pocket formation and ensures a ra?pid amalgamation.
