Self Fusing Silicone Tape XFasten 1″ x 36ft Black Waterproof Tape

Description

Product Overview

The XFasten Self Fusing Silicone Tape is engineered for demanding repair tasks where reliability and durability are non‑negotiable. Made from premium silicone rubber, the tape self‑amalgamates when wrapped around a surface, forming a seamless, waterproof barrier without the need for adhesives. It endures temperatures up to 260 °C (500 °F) and pressures of 900 PSI, making it suitable for high‑stress plumbing, hose, and electrical applications. Each roll measures 1 inch in width and 36 feet in length, offering ample material for multiple projects. The tape is available in a range of colors, including black, white, blue, clear, yellow, and red, allowing users to select the best visual match for their equipment. Its UL 510 certification and ISO 9001 compliance underscore its industrial‑grade quality and safety standards.

Usage

Designed for both professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts, this tape excels in a variety of environments. In automotive repair, it can seal coolant lines, fuel hoses, and electrical connectors, resisting oil, gasoline, and extreme heat. For marine applications, the tape protects against saltwater corrosion and can be applied to deck fittings, bilge pumps, and underwater pipe joints. Homeowners benefit from its ability to quickly stop leaks in garden hoses, sprinkler systems, and indoor plumbing without shutting off water for extended periods. Outdoor electricians use the tape to insulate and protect cables from weather, UV exposure, and mechanical abrasion. Its flexibility allows it to conform to tight corners, irregular shapes, and small‑diameter tubing, while its cold‑resistance down to –50 °C (–60 °F) ensures performance in winter conditions.

FAQ

Can the tape be used on live electrical wires?

Yes. The silicone tape provides insulation up to 600 volts per mil and does not conduct electricity, making it safe for temporary repairs on live wires when proper safety precautions are followed.

How many layers are needed for a reliable seal?

For most applications, wrapping the tape around the target area 2‑3 times (overlapping each layer by about half the tape width) creates a strong, airtight seal. For high‑pressure pipes, adding an extra layer can increase durability.

Is the tape reusable after removal?

Once the tape has self‑fused, it cannot be removed without cutting. It is intended for permanent repairs; however, excess tape can be trimmed away cleanly without leaving residue.

What colors are available for different environments?

The tape comes in black, white, blue, clear, yellow, and red. Dark colors are preferred for outdoor and UV‑exposed applications, while bright colors help with visual identification in complex wiring or plumbing systems.

Does the tape affect the diameter of the pipe or cable?

The tape adds only a thin layer—approximately 0.1 mm per wrap—so it does not significantly increase the overall diameter, preserving clearances in tight installations.
