Product Description

Scotch Rubber Mastic Tape 2228 is a conformable self–fusing rubber electrical insulating and sealing tape that consists of an ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) backing coated with an aggressive, temperature–stable mastic adhesive. This tape is made 65 mils (1,65 mm) thick for quick application build–up. It is designed for electrical insulating and moisture sealing applications. It is a UL recognized component for applications up to 130C. It offers excellent resistance to moisture and ultraviolet exposure and is intended for both indoor and weather exposed outdoor applications. Scotch Rubber Mastic Tape 2228 should be applied in half–lapped layers until desired insulation build up is reached. Stretch the tape to 3/4 of its original width during application for good conformability and to obtain a moisture tight seal. Scotch Rubber Mastic Tape 2228 should be overwrapped for mechanical protection with two half–lapped layers of Scotch Super 33+TM Vinyl Electrical Tape.

    Customers are satisfied with the quality of the adhesive tape. For example, they say it's better than standard electrical tape, works perfectly for their needs, and is the best double-sided technical tape money can buy. It contours the stays and sticks and seals very well. Some customers also say the tape is pretty pricey and does not go very far.

    28 customers mention25 positive3 negative

    Customers like the adhesion of the rubber tape. They say it sticks to itself, is sticky like they need, and works perfectly for their needs. The glue is quite strong on metal and plastic, and sticks without lifting edges. It sticks all the way around the edges and stays right in place.

    "...No doubts in my mind that it is sealed well and has great adhesion, also its practically impossible to pull it apart if it adhears to itself, which..." Read more

    13 customers mention13 positive0 negative

    Customers like the seal. They say it's fantastic for waterproofing outside junctions, as between sockets and bulbs where rain might get in. The tape is self-sealing, and makes for moisture proof electrical splices. It does the job of weather sealing and doesn't have the drawback of being a sticky tar-like. It silences chain slap, and is not affected by mud or water.

    "...It provides a perfect seal against the weather. I recommend this tape for anyone needing sealed electric connections." Read more

    "I almost always solder electrical connections and this stuff makes a waterproof seal and is easier to apply than shrink tubing...." Read more

    "...and this stuff makes a waterproof seal and is easier to apply than shrink tubing...." Read more

    "...anyway, this was absolutely simple to use and I like the way you cut off a length and as you wrap it you stretch it tightly to seal the edges and it..." Read more

    11 customers mention11 positive0 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the thickness of the adhesive tape.

    "...Used this as a chainstay on my girlfriend's Marlin 5. It's thick and feels like a peice of rubber...." Read more

    Chainstay protector
    Bike was already used so ignore the scratches. Used this as a chainstay on my girlfriend's Marlin 5. It's thick and feels like a peice of rubber. No doubts in my mind that it is sealed well and has great adhesion, also its practically impossible to pull it apart if it adhears to itself, which is what its made to do.
