Go ahead and toss out those rolls of electrical tape, because this week’s feature product is the cure-all solution you electricians are looking for. Introducing Liquid Electrical Tape from Permatex!
Even though electrical Tape is great for covering exposed wires and electronics, the adhesive will fail over time, and it can’t prevent moisture or dirt from getting into the wires. That’s where this 118ml bottle comes in to save the day, as it creates a flexible, weatherproof, vinyl polymer seal that will keep out all air, dust, and moisture. It’s UV and Chemical resistant, and stays functional in temperatures ranging from -45 to +135 degrees Celsius. Not only does it protect the covered area, but it’s also highly dielectric, insulating up to 1,117 volts when at a 6.3 mil thickness.
Application
To use this safe sealing solution, disconnect the power to whatever you’re working on so you don’t get any surprise shockies, and verify the zone is clean and dry. Next, stir up the product, and apply it with the included brush-top. You’ll need at least 2 layers for proper coverage, and make sure you wait at least 10 minutes between coats. Once it’s painted on, wait 4 hours before turning on the power, to ensure the product has fully cured.
If you read all that, you might be reaching back for the electrical tape since it’s much faster to use. Well, depending on what you’re working on, this could actually save you a ton of time, as this liquid tape can be applied in areas not accessible to a full roll. So, instead of taking an entire component apart or moving large equipment out of the way, you can simply reach the area you want to cover and easily paint it on, no extra hassle required!
So, come on down to Greggs so you can ditch those rolls, and paint your way to safety with this week’s feature product: The Liquid Electrical Tape from Permatex!
