About Silicone End Seal Wrap
Silicone End Seal Wrap is an unsupported silicone rubber tape which makes it apply a consistent thickness of silicone rubber over the transition from the end of Firesleeve to the surface of the hose being protected.
This specially formulated silicone rubber provides a self-fusing, inseparable, cohesive moisture resistant barrier over a range of temperature from -65 F / -53 C up to -500 F / -260 C. Conforming smoothly when wrapped around complex forms, the tape bonds at room temperature into a single inseparable layer after 24hours.
The product remains non-tacky to the touch and is inherently flame retardant, providing a superior alternative to the standard band clamp.
Specification
This tape is available in 1" and 1 1/2" widths (25 & 37mm), with 36 feet (10.9m) of tape per roll.
The tape is mounted on a backing film for easy unwinding.
Application
This high temperature, heat and flame resistant Silicone End Seal Wrap is the perfect choice for sealing the ends of firesleeve, thereby preventing the firesleeve from wicking liquids such as water, oil or hydraulic fluid. This Silicone End Seal Wrap can also be used to help secure other types of fiberglass and silica tapes over wires, cables, hoses, tube and pipe to make clean and neat installation..

The tape is using by running down the centre to performing a standard 50% overlap when wrapping the tape around splices of hoses, cables and wires.
Silicone End Seal Wrap is self bonding to itself and other silicone rubber sleeve and tape, providing a waterproof/air tight end to the installation of firesleeve over hoses and cables.
Exceptional Electrical and Weather ResistanceThis silicone rubber self-fusing tape provides excellent insulation for up to 11 kV, protecting cables against harsh environments, moisture, and UV rays. Its flame retardancy meets the UL 94 V-0 standard, making it ideal for safety-critical applications. Durable and resistant to water absorption (<0.5%), it is suited for long-term indoor and outdoor use even in extreme temperatures.
Easy Application and Custom OptionsThe self-amalgamating design makes installation straightforward, requiring no adhesive or heat. Simply stretch, wrap, and allow the tape to fuse seamlessly. Standard rolls are supplied at 25 mm width and 10 m length, with thickness of 1 mm, however, custom sizes and colors can be fulfilled. Its shelf life extends up to five years with appropriate storage-cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight.
FAQ's of Silicone End Seal Wrap:
Q: How do I use the Silicone End Seal Wrap for repairing cables?
A: To repair cables, simply stretch the tape and wrap it around the area needing insulation or moisture protection. It adheres to itself without the need for adhesive, forming a seamless, water- and air-tight barrier once fused.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this self-fusing silicone tape?
A: The tape offers high electrical insulation, resistance to weather, UV, water, and chemicals, and remains effective over a wide temperature range (-50C to +220C). Its self-amalgamating, non-adhesive nature makes it easy to apply and remove, ensuring reliability and convenience.
Q: When should I consider using Silicone End Seal Wrap over conventional tapes?
A: Choose this silicone wrap for environments exposed to extreme temperatures, moisture, or chemicals, or when high insulation (up to 11 kV) and flame retardancy are needed. It is particularly useful for cable jointing, sealing, and electrical repairs.
Q: Where can the Silicone End Seal Wrap be applied?
A: This product is ideal for use in electrical, automotive, marine, aerospace, and industrial settings. Use it to insulate, seal, and protect cables, connectors, pipes, and joints both indoors and outdoors.
Q: What process ensures the tape fuses properly during application?
A: Proper fusing requires stretching the tape before wrapping, overlapping each layer for best protection. The material will self-amalgamate after a short period, creating a continuous, durable seal without additional adhesives.
Q: How should I store unused rolls for maximum shelf life?
A: Store the tape in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight. Following these guidelines ensures a shelf life of up to five years, preserving its physical and electrical properties.
