RCS-2228 Waterseal Mastic Tape

Key Features

Self-Fusing for Seamless Protection

The self-fusing nature of RCS-2228 ensures that it bonds to itself without the need for additional adhesives, forming a continuous, void-free seal once applied. This guarantees that there are no gaps or air pockets, providing a reliable, waterproof barrier for electrical connections.

Excellent Adhesion

With strong adhesion to materials like copper, aluminum, and cable jackets, RCS-2228 ensures a secure seal and superior insulation. This high bonding capability guarantees long-lasting performance in demanding applications.

Waterproofing Performance

Specifically designed for moisture sealing, RCS-2228 prevents moisture ingress, ensuring that electrical splices and connections remain dry and functional, especially in outdoor and underground environments. This waterproof feature is critical to maintaining the integrity of electrical connections and preventing potential failure from water exposure.

Temperature Resistance

RCS-2228 can operate at temperatures up to 90°C, withstanding overload temperatures of 130°C. This broad temperature range ensures that the tape remains effective in both low and high-temperature environments without compromising its insulating properties.

Corrosion Resistance

This tape offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for use in marine, industrial, and other harsh environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, and corrosive elements is common.

UV and Ozone Resistance

RCS-2228 provides outstanding protection against UV radiation and ozone exposure, ensuring that the tape remains durable and stable even under prolonged exposure to sunlight. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications and ensures long-term performance in harsh environmental conditions.

Suitable for Irregular Shapes

The conformable nature of RCS-2228 allows it to mold to irregular shapes and cable connections, providing secure, even coverage for both standard and non-standard splices. Its flexibility makes it a perfect solution for applications with complex shapes.

Easy to Use

With its self-fusing properties, RCS-2228 is easy to apply and does not require special tools or equipment. Its simple application process saves time and reduces labor costs during installation.

Applications

Insulating and Sealing Cable Splices

The RCS-2228 tape is ideal for insulating and sealing all types of power cables, including low and high-voltage cables, as well as telecommunication cables. It provides reliable primary insulation for splices up to 1000V, ensuring a secure and moisture-resistant electrical barrier.

Moisture Sealing Irregular Bus Bar Connections

RCS-2228 excels at moisture-sealing irregularly shaped bus bar connections. It provides both electrical insulation and protection from environmental factors, making it an essential product for high-voltage electrical systems.

Sealing Junction Boxes and Splices

This tape is highly effective at sealing high-voltage and low-voltage junction boxes and irregular cable splices, preventing exposure to moisture, dirt, and other contaminants. It ensures that electrical connections remain protected and functional.

Sealing Service Drops and Ground Wire Connections

RCS-2228 is commonly used to seal power cable connections in service drops and ground wire connections. It effectively protects these critical connections from moisture, ensuring long-lasting electrical performance and reducing the risk of failure.

Electrical Insulation in Underground and Outdoor Applications

Thanks to its adhesion strength, corrosion resistance, and waterproofing properties, RCS-2228 is particularly well-suited for underground and outdoor applications, where cables are exposed to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and environmental stresses.
