Technical Information
Military Specification A-A-59163-1-I Red Self-Fusing Silicone Tape is a high-performance, adhesive-free silicone tape that bonds to itself under hand pressure to form a unified, watertight, and airtight silicone rubber mass. When stretched and over-wrapped on cables, hoses, connectors, and wire splices, it fuses into a single homogeneous silicone layer that provides outstanding electrical insulation, moisture sealing, and mechanical protection. The red color ensures immediate visual identification for inspection and meets military CID A-A-59163 performance requirements for dielectric strength, tensile strength, elongation, and self-fusion characteristics.
Why Choose A-A-59163-1-I Self-Fusing Silicone Tape?
- ✅ Adhesive-Free Self-Fusion — Bonds only to itself — no glue, no residue, no surface prep
- ✅ Mil-Spec A-A-59163 Compliant — Meets military CID requirements for dielectric and tensile performance
- ✅ Watertight & Airtight Seal — Fuses into solid silicone mass — zero moisture or air ingress
- ✅ Red Color for Identification — Instant visual ID for inspection in military and aerospace systems
- ✅ 36′ Roll Length — Generous roll length for complete wire harness or hose sealing jobs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is A-A-59163 self-fusing silicone tape used for?
A: A-A-59163 self-fusing silicone tape is used for electrical insulation of wire splices and harnesses, sealing hydraulic and pneumatic hose fittings, repairing cable jackets, and bundling wires and cables in military, aerospace, and industrial applications.
Q: What is the MPN for this military spec silicone tape?
A: The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) is AA59163-1-I-0-020-1-000RED.
Q: How does self-fusing silicone tape work?
A: Self-fusing silicone tape bonds to itself under pressure without any adhesive. When stretched and wrapped over itself, the silicone layers fuse together into a single unified mass, creating a watertight, airtight seal that remains flexible.
Q: What voltage rating does A-A-59163 silicone tape have?
A: Military spec A-A-59163 self-fusing silicone tape is rated for high-voltage electrical insulation. Consult the current specification document and product datasheet for precise dielectric strength and voltage ratings.
Q: Why is A-A-59163 tape specified for military applications?
A: A-A-59163 is a commercial item description (CID) that specifies performance requirements — temperature range, dielectric strength, tensile strength, self-fusion characteristics — for self-fusing silicone tape used in military systems.
