Product Overview

The COMPAQ CIBM Series – Insulating Mastic Sealing Tape is designed for low and medium voltage cable terminations and joints, providing an additional protective layer over heat shrink materials by covering sharp edges of metallic parts such as lugs, ferrules, or armour wires.

This self-fusing mastic is ideal for void filling, edge coverage, and environmental sealing, ensuring a long-lasting barrier against water ingress, dust, and other contaminants. Highly conformable and adhesive, it adapts to irregular shapes, making it a reliable finishing and protection solution for a wide range of cable accessories.
