Water Blocking Tape
Semi-conductive Water Blocking Tape(Non-woven)
Construction:-
- It is a non-woven double layer sandwiched type semi-conductive tape coated with high quality super absorbent polymer (SAP) in between.
End Use Applications:-
- Used in power cables to prevent / blocking the progression of water entering the power cables as it swells quickly in contact with the moisture ingress and expands to fill up the interstices.
- Used for axial (longitudinal) and radial water blocking of power cables.
- Suitable for use on insulation screen and under & over the metallic sheath of MV & EHV Power Cables
- These tapes are also available with specific technical requirements.

Non-Conductive Water Blocking Tape
Construction:-
- It is a non-woven double layer sandwiched type non-conductive tape coated with high quality super absorbent polymer (SAP) in between.
End Use Applications:-
- Used in power & optic fiber cables to prevent/ block the progression of water entering the cables as it swells quickly in contact with the moisture ingress and expands to fill up the interstices.
- Used for axial (longitudinal) and radial water blocking of power & optic fiber cables.
- Suitable for use over the metallic wire screen / armour wires and under the jacket of MV & EHV Cables, Control Cables and Optic Fibre Cables etc
