Product Overview

The COMPAQ CARM Series – Non/Anti-Tracking Red Mastic Sealing Tape is designed for medium and high voltage cable terminations, providing a watertight, electrically insulating, and non-tracking seal between heat shrink components and cable parts.

This self-fusing mastic conforms easily to irregular shapes and voids, ensuring complete sealing even in complex cable geometries. Its anti-tracking formulation prevents surface electrical leakage, making it ideal for use in polluted, humid, or outdoor environments.
