ACC ESSORI ES www.hubbell.com/burndy | F-3 HYSTRENGTH 7, Heavy Duty Insulating Tape TYPE HYSTRENGTH 7 Heavy Duty Vinyl Insulating Tape V0 Rated HYSTRENGTH 7 is a robust, heavy-duty insulating tape crafted for superior performance in all weather conditions. At 0.2mm thick, this tape is designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures making it ideal for both high-heat and cold environments. HYSTRENGTH 7 excels by providing exceptional mechanical and electrical protection thanks to its unique combination of elastic backing and aggressive adhesive. HYSTRENGTH 7 offers the durability and flexibility required for demanding applications. 2 Year Shelf Life Operating temperature from –18° C to 105° C (0° F to 221° F). Features & Benefits • All-Weather Performance - operates effectively in ambient temperatures up to 105°C (220°F) and remains conformable in cold weather down to -18°C (0°F) • Superior Resistance - offers excellent resistance to abrasion, moisture, alkalis, acids, corrosion, and various weather conditions, including UV exposure • Moisture-Tight Protection - aggressive adhesive and elastic backing ensure a moisture-tight seal, providing both electrical and mechanical protection • Cold Weather Pliability - maintains flexibility and adhesion even in extremely cold temperatures, ensuring reliable application and performance • Flame Retardant - enhances safety by resisting ignition and slowing the spread of flames (V0 Rating) • Puncture and Tensile Strength - high resistance to puncture and tensile strength mean it can withstand physical stress, proving a durable and secure application • Excellent Conformability - good elongation properties allow HYSTRENGTH to conform seamlessly to irregular and complex surfaces Catalog Number Series Material Color Dimensions HYSTRENGTH 7 HYSTRENGTH Vinyl Black 3/4” x 66’ Common Applications The HYSTRENGTH 7 Tape, with its robust features and benefits, is designed for demanding applications where durability and reliability are critical. Here are five common applications for this high-performance tape: 1. Electrical Insulation and Protection: Given its superior resistance to moisture, alkalis, acids, and corrosion, along with its flame-retardant properties, Hystrength tape is ideal for insulating and protecting electrical connections and cables in both industrial and residential settings. This ensures safety and reliability in electrical systems, preventing short circuits and fire hazards. 2. Outdoor and Harsh Environment Applications: The all-weather performance capability makes it suitable for use in outdoor environments where cables and components are exposed to extreme temperatures, UV light, and harsh weather conditions. This tape can be used in industries such as telecommunications, utilities, and construction, where exposure to the elements is a concern. 3. Cold Weather Applications: Due to its cold weather pliability, Hystrength tape is particularly useful in cold climates where other tapes may lose flexibility and adhesion. It can be applied in refrigerated environments, outdoor winter settings, or in regions with cold weather, maintaining its effectiveness and adherence. 4. Mechanical Protection: The high puncture resistance and tensile strength of the tape make it suitable for applications requiring robust mechanical protection. It can be used to wrap hydraulic fittings, hoses, and other mechanical parts to protect them from abrasion and physical damage, thereby extending their service life. 5. Complex and Irregular Surfaces: The excellent conformability and good elongation properties allow Hystrength tape to be effectively used on irregular or complex surfaces where other tapes might fail to provide a secure seal. This makes it ideal for applications in automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery where components may not have standard shapes.
