Self-Amalgamating Tape is a self-fusing, adhesive-free repair tape for fast, watertight sealing and electrical insulation. It stretches and bonds to itself to form a seamless rubber sleeve around joints, hoses and cable splices, making it ideal for emergency pipe repairs and protection of electrical connections in and around buildings and services.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Self-Fusing, No Adhesive: Bonds to itself when stretched and wrapped, creating a single, seamless rubber layer.
-
Watertight Seal: Quickly stops leaks on pipes and hoses and helps protect cable joints from moisture ingress.

Instructions for Use
- Clean and dry the surface. Remove dust, oil and loose material.
- Peel away the release liner and begin wrapping; stretch as you apply to activate the self-fusing bond.
- Overlap each turn by about half the tape width for a uniform, sealed build-up.
- Finish with a firm final pass and allow time for full amalgamation before loading or pressurising.
Limitations & Precautions
- Not a structural or permanent fix for high-pressure systems—assess and repair the underlying fault.
- Switch off power before working on electrical cables; check local regulations for electrical insulation use.
- Adhesion to the substrate is not required, but surfaces must be clean and dry for best fusion.
