RCS-77 Fire and Electric Arc Proofing Tape

(Self-Fusing Rubber Tape for Fire and Arc Protection)

Product Overview

The RCS-77 Fire and Electric Arc Proofing Tape is a specialized fire-resistant and electric arc proof tape designed to protect cables, connectors, and electrical terminations in high-risk environments. This tape is primarily used to safeguard power cables and terminations from potential fire damage or electrical arc exposure. Upon exposure to heat or flames, it forms a char barrier, acting as a heat shield and flame barrier to ensure the integrity of cables and accessories, even in high-temperature situations or electrical faults. Ideal for critical infrastructure and harsh environmental conditions, the RCS-77 tape enhances the safety and performance of electrical systems.

Key Features

Self-Fusing Technology

The self-fusing properties of the tape allow it to bond securely to itself, forming a seamless, protective layer that creates an effective heat shield around cable terminations and joints, without the need for additional adhesives.

Fire and Arc Proofing

Engineered specifically for fireproofing and arc protection, RCS-77 creates a charred barrier that insulates cables from heat and flames, significantly reducing the risk of fire propagation. The tape is effective in preventing electric arc damage, ensuring that cables and connectors remain intact during electrical failures.

Heat Resistance

With its high heat resistance, RCS-77 can withstand extreme temperatures, forming a protective firewall that shields cables from thermal damage during electrical faults, fire outbreaks, or high-temperature environments.

Resistance to Ozone, UV, and Xenon Exposure

This tape offers excellent resistance to ozone, UV radiation, and xenon exposure, ensuring long-term durability even in the harshest outdoor conditions. This makes RCS-77 suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, providing consistent protection against environmental factors.

High Electrical Insulation Properties

RCS-77 maintains its electrical insulating properties under extreme conditions, preventing any compromise to the electrical integrity of cables and connectors. It ensures that electrical systems remain safe and operational during fire or electrical arc events.

Ease of Use

RCS-77’s self-fusing, no-mess application process makes it easy to install, requiring no additional adhesives. This feature is particularly useful for quick repairs or installations in emergency situations, where fast protection is necessary.


Applications

Cable Terminations and Joints

The primary use of RCS-77 is in fireproofing and arc protection for power cable terminations and joints, preventing fire and electrical faults from spreading. The tape’s protective layer ensures the integrity of critical cable networks exposed to high-temperature environments.

Protecting Electrical Connectors

It can be applied to connectors to create a protective barrier, preventing electric arc and fire damage, thereby ensuring the continued functionality of electrical systems during power surges or fire emergencies.

Fireproofing Wire, Cable, and Small Pipes

RCS-77 is effective for fireproofing wires, cables, or small pipes that require additional protection in fire-sensitive areas. This is especially crucial in commercial buildings, industrial plants, and power stations, where fire safety is a top priority.

Insulating Base Materials

It can be applied to any base material that requires fire insulation, providing a quick and effective solution to enhance fire resistance in sensitive or high-risk areas.

Protecting Cables in Critical Infrastructure

Essential for sectors such as energy, transportation, and telecommunications, where the integrity of electrical systems is vital for safety and operational continuity. RCS-77 provides enhanced protection against fire and electric arcs in these high-stakes environments.
