Rescue Tape is extruded of high performance silicone elastomer. It is self-fusing, and cures at room temperature. Its high thermal conductivity allows rapid heat dissipation, resulting in lower temperature rise.
Rescue Tape is suitable for use wherever a tough, high temperature (to 260O C), permanently resilient insulation or seal is required. Properly installed, Rescue Tape provides a moisture-free permanent seal around hoses, fittings, tubes and wire harness bundles, offering low cost solutions to common problems in extreme environments.
We certify that Rescue Tape is manufactured to Military Spec: CID A-A-59163
(which supercedes MIL-I-46862 Rev. C 02-98)
