Scotch® 13 – Advanced 3M™ Semiconducting Tape with Full Converting Support

Scotch® 13 is a highly specialized EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) semiconducting tape designed for shielding cable joints, rounding off connectors, and reducing electrical stress in medium- and high-voltage installations.

This stretchable, conformable tape maintains conductivity even after elongation and adapts easily to irregular shapes. With a temperature resistance of up to 90°C, compliance with ASTM and RoHS 2011/65/EU, and a total thickness of 0.76 mm, it ensures superior reliability in demanding applications.

Applications of Scotch® 13 Tape

Shielding of cable joints on solid dielectric cables
Rounding off of bolted connections on insulated bus bars
Repairs of cable shielding in medium-voltage systems
Electrical stress relief at cable terminations
Conductive underlayer for metallic screen contact
For high-voltage installations requiring semiconducting interface
