Vinyl Electrical Tape 35
Data Sheet July 2011
Description
Scotch® Vinyl Electrical Tape 35 is a 7 mil (0,178 mm) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) color-
coding tape. Outstanding electri cal a nd mechanical properties make this tape excellent
for use in phase identification, color coding of motor leads and piping systems, and for
marking safety areas. Scot ch® Tape 35 operates over a wide range of temperatures –
up to 221°F (105°C); applies smoothly and conforms well above 3 2°F (0 °C). This tape is
available in nine fade resistant colo rs.

Applications
Color coding for phase ide ntification, job identification and safety
Insulating electrical wiring
Protecting electrical conductors, moto r leads and piping from moisture, alkalis, acids,
corrosion, abrasion and we ather
Installation
Apply in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to conform and produce a uniform
covering. In most applications, this tensi on will reduce the tape width to approximately
60% of its original wi dth.
On a pigtail splice, wrap th e tape beyond the end of the wire and then fold back and
over-wrap, leaving a protective cushion to resist cut-through.
Wrap uphill, taping from a smaller diameter to a larger diameter surface. Apply the
tape with no tension on the last wrap to prevent flaggi ng.
