CABLE APPLICATIONS
Over 100 years of experience in the development, manufacture and supply of cable wrapping tapes to the global cable industry gives Scapa a pedigree you can count on. With this know-how as a backdrop Scapa now has one of the widest ranges of water blocking and standard cable tapes in the industry and are a key supplier and reference partner to most of the world’s top manufacturers of power, subsea, control, data and fibre optic cables.
Applications Include:
Bedding and Binding
Cushioning and high strength binding tapes for use in medium and high voltage power cables.
Bedding and Binding, Degassing
Bedding and binding tapes that help cable performance and the off-gassing of volatiles.
Binding and Separation
Tapes typically used for binding and separating in multi-conductor energy cables.
Binding and Separating, Water Blocking
Water blocking tapes which wrap and bind conductors, separating them from cable fillers and jacketing materials.
Conductor Water Blocking
Water blocking tapes that protect conductor interstices from water ingress.
Degassing
Cable tapes that facilitate the venting of volatiles prior to insulation extrusion.
Dielectric Water Blocking - General Purpose
General purpose water blocking tapes for use in both fibre optic and power cables.
Dielectric Water Blocking - Seawater
Seawater grade water blocking tapes for use in submarine and coastal power cable applications.
Direct Fibre Contact, Water Blocking
Direct fibre contact tapes for use in the manufacturing of optical cables to prevent water ingress.
Fire Retardant
Fire retardant tapes that perform as a fire barrier in power and data cables to meet demanding fire survival specifications.
Semi-Conducting Fire Retardant
Semi-conductive fire retardant tapes for use in the manufacturing of binding and screening multi-core cables.
Semi-Conducting Binding and Bedding
Semi-conductive tapes used in the core screen area of power cables.
Semi-Conducting, Penetration Resistant
Semi-conductive tapes that protect from extrudate penetration in power cables.
Semi-Conducting Water Blocking
Water blocking conductive tapes used in the core screen area of power cables.
Wire Armour Bedding and Binding
High strength cable wrapping tapes for use in the high speed processing of power cables.
Jointing and Repair
Tapes and materials used in the splicing and repair of medium and high voltage power cables.
Semi-Conducting Water Blocking - Seawater
Marine grade water blocking tapes ideal for subsea power cable applications.
Dielectric Water Blocking - Power Cable
Insulative water blocking tapes typically used in MV and HV power cables.
Semi-Conducting Bedding, Water Blocking
Water blocking tapes used in metal core screens and overlying metal armour or sheath to ensure electrical contact.
Semi-Conducting Binding
High strength semi-conductive tapes used in the high speed processing of power cables.
