Description
Rescue Tape is The World’s #1 Self-Fusing Silicone Tape! Silicone Rescue Tape is an award-winning silicone repair tape for emergencies and all-purpose repairs. It creates an air-tight, waterproof seal in seconds. You can instantly repair leaks on plumbing and hoses, make underwater repairs, use it on electrical wiring or as shrink-wrap, seal and protect hydraulic fittings or other exposed metal connections, make an emergency fan belt, o-ring gasket and so much more! This is self-fusing silicone tape – the repair area need not be clean nor dry!
- 950 PSI Tensile Strength
- Insulates 8,000 Volts per layer
- Withstands Temperatures up to 500° Fahrenheit (and as low as -85° F)
- Emergency repairs to all sorts of hoses and pipes
- When you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere, you’ll be glad you’ve got Rescue Tape!
Rescue Tape is extruded of high performance silicone elastomer. It is self-fusing, and cures at room temperature. Its high thermal conductivity allows rapid heat dissipation, resulting in lower temperature rise.
Rescue Tape is suitable for use wherever a tough, high temperature (to 260° C), permanently resilient insulation or seal is required. Properly installed, Rescue Tape provides a moisture-free permanent seal around hoses, fittings, tubes and wire harness bundles, offering low cost solutions to common problems in extreme environments.

Silicone Rescue Tape Instructions
- Wrap Rescue Tape around project by stretching and overlapping onto itself. Stretch at least double to ensure a good bond; for high pressure leaks stretch to maximum amount. The tighter Rescue Tape is wrapped, the quicker and stronger the bond.
- Continue wrapping Rescue Tape around project by overlapping 50% onto itself so that ½ the width is covered with the next wrap. The first and last wrap should completely overlap onto the previous wrap for a complete bond. Additional layers may be necessary; same process should be used over previous layers. Rescue Tape works on either side.
- Repositioning Rescue Tape is only appropriate in the first few seconds after wrapping. Attempting to reposition Rescue Tape after 1 minute or longer is not recommended. Rescue Tape is not reusable; however, additional Rescue Tape can be applied over project at any time in the future.
High-pressure leaks: additional wrapping may be required. Most hose repairs can be repaired with 3-5 layers thickness, wrapping 3-5 inches in each direction away from the leak. Additional strength can be added by wrapping more Rescue Tape.
Electrical Insulation: For electrical wiring and insulation, it is not necessary to stretch tightly. In fact, it will be more resilient to abrasion when not stretched as tightly.
Flexible Surfaces: When applying Rescue Tape to flexible surfaces, take into account flex under pressure and any moving parts. Rescue Tape will remain flexible even after fusing.
