L-3 Communications tape (Part numbers for unsupported tapes: 40014362-000, 40014362-001, 40014362-002, 40014362-003; Part numbers for supported tapes: 7186328-000, 7186328-001) is a silicone rubber self-fusing compression tapes meeting MIL and commercial specifications and are used for a variety of critical electrical wiring and cable splicing and protection jobs. Especially suited for aviation and marine environments, as well as outdoor weathering environments. Supported tapes include a sinusoidal weave glass layer reinforcement.
The L3 40014362-000, 40014362-001, 40014362-002, 40014362-003, 7186328-000 and 7186328-001 tapes have no adhesive, but sticks to itself (self-fuses or self amalgamating) when stretched and wrapped onto itself. The tapes starts curing within minutes, and after several hours cannot be unwound or removed without using a sharp knife or blade. This tape makes a waterproof, weatherproof and air tight protection.
