Scotch Electrical Tapes When a wire splice or repair is made in a cathodic protection system, the tapes used must be of the highest quality. Scotch is the world′s leading brand of electrical insulating materials. MESA stocks a wide assortment of Scotch tapes, from vinyl plastic electrical to rubber and mastic splicing. Each type of tape is designed to function best under certain environmental and electrical conditions. Vinyl tapes are commonly used to repair or seal above ground cathodic protection connections. They are also used to provide mechanical protection to the primary tapes used for underground electrical insulation. Vinyl tapes are stretched easily and are resistant to UV rays. Rubber and mastic tape is thick and extremely moisture resistant. It can withstand a wide-range of temperatures and is typically applied to buried wire connections.

Tapecoat 20 (Hot Applied) Tapecoat 20 is a hot-applied coal tar coating in tape form. Tapecoat 20 is designed to protect buried metal surfaces from underground corrosion and electrolysis. These surfaces include coating pipe, pipe joints, fittings, couplings, tanks, cable, conduit, tie rods and elevator casings. Tapecoat 20 is resistant to thermal expansion, impact and abrasion.
Tapecoat H35/H50 Gray Innovative Tapecoat Gray tapes are engineered to exceed all previous performance criteria for protection from corrosion of above and below ground pipelines, joints and fittings. These cold applied, VOC-free tapes incorporate an integrated primer and stand alone as an easily applied corrosion protection.
