Bus Tape is heat shrinkable tape specifically designed for insulating and protecting medium voltage Bus Bar Connections, where tubing can not be used.It is very conformable, tough, waterproof tape with special adhesive coating which bonds well to most surfaces over a wide range of temperature.The shrinking action achieves exceptional conformation to contours, squeezing the adhesive into all surface irregularities, forming an effective seal.
