N Series FMC Silicone Rubber Electrical Insulation Tape
500°F / 260°C Continuous Exposure: Higher Intermittent
FlameShieldä "N" series FMC non-reinforced (unsupported) and reinforced (supported) equivalent silicone rubber tapes meet MIL-I-46852 / MIL-I-22444 and commercial specification A-A-59163 and are used for a variety of critical electrical wiring and cable splicing and protection jobs. Supported tapes have a sinusoidal weave glass layer which adds to the tape's mechanical structure and reduces creep under high clamping pressure. Especially suited for aviation and marine environments, as well as outdoor weathering environments.
These equivalent tape have no adhesive, but sticks to itself (self-fuses or self-amalgamating) when stretched and wrapped onto itself. The tapes starts fusing as soon as it is over-wrapped on itself, 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.

This tape is used to wrap and hold insulation in place on hot air ducts. Makes an in-situ bushing for protecting wiring at the back-shell clamp.
